I'm still waiting for answers to why Wildcard was changed to online only, and why Anton Lundell's Fantasy Hockey card doesn't have 99 speed and acceleration at 99 overall.

If you change a game mode that has always been available to both online and offline players to online only, you should definitely have an explanation for it.

And by the way, can you let the team know that they gave Morgan Geekie a 90 overall Record Breakers card last Friday when he already had a 91 overall ODR SZN card? I really hope that was a mistake.

Ratings are all over the place.

Scheifele has two 89s.

A release a few weeks ago had Marchenko get an 89 and then the very next day, an 87.

Yeah I don't understand why things like that have happened so many times. I didn't know about Scheifele having 2 89s, and I had forgotten about Marchenko's 89 and 87 overall cards, but I remember those cards now that you mentioned them.

I can't remember the player, but I remember there was one case months ago when a player got a new card and on the next day the same player got a lower overall card and EA_Aljo admitted that it was unintentional. I hope all of the other similar cases have also been unintentional, but for some reason EA_Aljo hasn't said anything about the other cases.

Looks like the new Superstar Origins Gabe Vilardi card has inaccurate X Factors.

All 90 cards have 2 blue X Factors. He has only single gold one. Pretty sure that's incorrect.

Could you check into this please?

Thanks!

Very curious why 91 Corey Sarich got a plus 3 boost to all his stats compared to his 88 pinnacle card but his speed or acceleration did not change. I understand that speed and acceleration dont usually always go up the exact same way the rest of his stats do but for him to receive a 3 overall increase and the speed to not go up at all seems like a mistake. Could I get some clarification on if this is deliberate or a mistake so I know if I should make his card

Thanks for the report. I've passed it on.

No response to you but a response to someone else on the thread sums this up pretty well. They simply do not care about what the community thinks/wants. Whatever fills the pockets (97 Lindros and the pack only TOTYs). I messaged long time ago the last chel week where some got BND 89 while others got 87. Super quick fix when it benefits us! Just like the fantasy event where they left them in packs. Many mistakes that benefit them will not get fixed, while the benefits for us will get fixed.

I don't even think money is the priority.

There's no reason that a player like Ales Hemsky - who had a career high 66-point season gets 3 special cards and guys like Nick Lidstrom, Trevor Linden, Peter Forsberg, and Scott Niedermayer have zero special cards. Also Pronger and Chelios have no cards since launch.

The content team just doesn't seem to care about meaningful releases. It's handfuls of the same guys over and over and over again.

You look at the highest OVR guys per team in the Pacific Division in terms of Standings.

1. Vegas: 93 Hill, 91 Hertl, 90 Barbashev, 90 Smith... No Eichel, no Marner, 92 Pietrangelo is a STL card, 90 Stone is an OTT card.
2. Edmonton: 93 Ekholm, 92 McDavid, 92 Bouchard, 92 Draisaitl, most guys there have 88+.
3. Seattle: 91 Beniers, 90 Daccord, 90 Eberle, 90 Lindgren, 90 Dunn
4. Anaheim: 92 Sennecke, 91 Carlsson, 90 Dostal, 90 Zellweger, 89 Gauthier. Troy Terry is tied for 2nd in points on the team and he hasn't gotten a card since the FIRST WEEK OF GAMEBREAKERS IN SEASON 1.

Can you please answer the questions about Wildcard being changed to online only, Anton Lundell's Fantasy Hockey card, and Morgan Geekie and Kirill Marchenko getting a lower overall card after getting a lower overall card?

It's nice that you answered one of the questions that have been asked in this thread, and I hope we also get an actual answer to whether Vilardi's abilities are correct or not, but you should answer to other questions as well.

Content has been way dead and i couldn't agree more. Miss the days of 4 forward, 3 defensive and 2 goalies in a team of the week. and actual TEAM of the week. Id rather crank rewards up and put any promos in packs. Decent pack weights, nothing special but nothing dead weight. A middle. Create a game for both FTP and the credit card warriors. But the 96 overalls in packs for TOTY and the 97 Lindros are a slap in the face to most people playing this game. The content team knows they don't need actual good content to get $$

All your points are correct.
