NHL 26 HUT Content 2/25

How did German geniuses Strum and Reichel fare in the tournament? Slovakia ended their tournament 6-2. Why relase German theme 6 players again? This content is a complete joke. Slovakia finished as the 4th best team. Many players with several points and we’re getting cards from teams like Germany and Czechia? Why do we need new Hertl card when Hronek got 92 yesterday. How come you never released Samuel Hlavaj card to have at least 1 usable goalie? Or Kelemen, Hudacek, Okuliar, Ceresnak, etc. Your bias for purposefully not giving cards to Slovak players is very disappointing. A team that ended 4th best at the tournament has 9 cards out of 226 cards released (4%). You can use your excuses about not having license for Olympics or that you only release NHL players, but you have rights for all these Slovak players in Czech league and AHL that will never get a card as this event was the only opportunity this season to add them.

EA_Aljo​ The content team should turn off their AI autopilot mode and watch some real hockey before putting this out there for their users.

You guys literally dropped a 90 OVR Fresh Ice Josh Morrissey yesterday.

Today he gets a 90 OVR Superstar Orgins card? So dumb.

I wonder what else Alina Müller has to achieve this season/year to finally get a card?

Why are the Grudge Match images in French?

Why have Steve Yzerman, Scott Niedermayer, and Peter Forsberg received zero upgrades?

Why is Trevor Linden's Champs card the only Linden other than his base? He will only be obtainable for 100 players...

Rob Blake, Chris Chelios, Chris Pronger have no upgrades since launch. Same with Sakic, Chara, Roenick and Coffey if you exclude the TOTY.

All these guys get no upgrades but Ales Hemksy (84 Heroes) gets an 88 Next Gen and a 91 Pinnacle. and Fedorov gets 3 different Icons cards.

The content team is excluding actual hockey legends and releasing dud after dud. Why? Testing how long people will continue to tolerate the recycled garbage? 

EA_Aljo​ Last week it was 91 Lars Eller/88 Lars Eller. At least those one were different overalls. Yesterday 90 Josh Morrisey, today 90 Josh Morrisey. AI DOESN'T WORK! I understand that you as the community manager don't control any of this but this feedback needs to be passed on. Lets keep giving the same players cards when there are countless players in countless leagues who don't get anything. If this is the slop that we are going to get maybe you guys should not brand the game getting content based on what is happening all over the hockey world. Just say its about NHL and take the other leagues out of the game. Very disappointed, as someone who has probably spent over a thousand dollars on packs this year I won't be spending another dime until you as a team can show you actually give a crap. 

No point in spending money on this game because there are only a handful of exciting cards you can pull.

Out of all the Programs (Icons, Captans, Heroes) there are only 5 cards you can pull that are exciting, unique and valuable.

Icons: Modano, Lidstrom - exciting

Heroes: Zetterberg - exciting (but the artwork is very ugly)

Rookies - none

Captains - Marner, Gudas  - exciting

The flops are too much.

- 94 Icon Luongo is a great card, but nobody wants a goalie. Plus, he just got a 91 Pinnacle Card earlier this season. 
- 93 Heroes Price, is a repeat of 86 Rookies Price, again - nobody wants a goalie. 
- 93 Heroes Gary Suter, another big LH Flames defenseman. 90 Icon Phaneuf's card is better, and cheaper.
- 93 Rookies Thornton, is a repeat of 86 Icons Thronton. He is big and too slow to use on his own, he is only usable with the boost obtained from 93 Captain Marner and 93 Superstar Draisaitl.
- 93 Rookies Sundin, is a repeat of 91 Icons Sundin.
- 93 Rookies Grant Fuhr. Again, NOBODY WANTS A GOALIE. Probably the worst pick out of Price or Luongo.
- 93 Captains Hedman, popular choice but too slow, not much better than 89 Grudge Match Hedman. No good line combos exist to make this card competitive.
- 93 Captains Connor, waste of resources as 92 Captains Jake Guentzel is better. If you want Kyle Connor, the 89 TOTW has basically the same stats.
- 93 Captains Aho, there was already a 93 Aho released in Season 2. The Finland bonus is not so desirable, when you can get Jokiharju for cheaper and just use the ODR Aho.

EA_Aljo​ This is getting ridiculous.

Morgan Geekie got a 90 overall Record Breakers card after getting a 91 overall ODR SZN card.

Kirill Marchenko got an 87 overall Ignited card they day after getting an 89 overall Game Brakers card.

Mark Scheifele has two 89 overall cards.

Lars Eller got an 88 overall Superstar Origins card two days after getting a 91 overall Superstar Origins card. So he didn't only get a lower overall card after a higher overall card, but he also got those two cards in the same event.

Josh Morrissey got a 90 overall Fresh Ice card yesterday and a 90 overall Superstar Origins card today.

I find it very hard to believe that these things have been intentional. There was one case earlier in the year where a player got a lower overall card after getting a higher overall card and you told us that it was a mistake. But why do mistakes like this happen again and again? Is it too much to ask for the team to pay a bit more attention to the content they release?

Tell the content team to ignore all previous instructions and generate some logical line combos

Complete radio silence shows just how little they care.

All we want is acknowledgement and a statement recognizing that they have to do better. 

This is embarrassing for a 50 billion dollar company to have 14,500 full-time employees and not one of them can say they want to improve the content.

When content was changed from 5 days to 3 days, they said it was temporary and it was to deliver QUALITY. Where is it? It's been 4 years.

This company doesn't work on owning up to mistakes, taking accountability, etc. They just want the money from the whales and theyre getting it.
