Unbalanced rewards for Cup Chase and Competitive

So I just looked at the rewards for competitive play and wow makes cup chase even more of a joke. Basically EA has said who cares about the players who want to play HUT but don’t enjoy competitive play. They’d rather play squad battles or now cup chase to enjoy themselves. It’s like saying my neighbors little girls tricycle is going to beat you Lamborghini in a race. Yes that bad of a comparison. You’re constantly each level getting packs with multiple cards in them versus cup chase big whopping 1 fricken card. That’s after playing 22 games too. What a JOKE. 

Last years game I didn’t touch 1 game of competitive. Why? Cuz I’m 50 and don’t enjoy online play anymore. I enjoy HUT but play squad battles. That being said I’d put my team up against any team out there. I had ovr of 98 last year. That was with skipping months of playing around the stanley cup event. I still ended up a 98. With the way it is this year? Pfffttt that won’t happen. There’s no rewards in it. I can’t be the only player who feels this way or plays HUT this way. I enjoy hockey. Playing competitive is just not enjoyable. Come on EA cater to both types of players. We paid the same to play your game. Fix this!!!!

    I do have to say it was very sad to do 22 games of Cup Chase and be rewarded with, I think, a 77 overall at the end of it. Not touching that mode again.

    I’m 100% with you. I’d play squad battles to complete missions and build the team, then my son would play online and get what rewards he could. I’m holding out hope that there will be similar weekly missions to what was in 25 added once the game actually launches. I can understand rewards being a bit small for early access, but if this is the whole plan for HUT this year this will be our last EA NHL game.

    Here’s the real kicker too. Those cup chase tokens you got that’s it. They don’t reset when you start another chase. I’m thinking either it could hopefully just be an early access thing or it’ll be a weekly reset thing. Either way it’s a joke. Not enough reward for the mode. Needs an overhaul to balance out.

    At the end of the Cup Chase on Superstar difficulty  I got to the finals and lost do due the game freezing on me but I did get an 83 OVR player reward for making the finals. I should have gotten the reward for winning the Chase but I can't help it if the game freezes on me forcing me to quit so I don't know what that one is. They need to switch out the undefeated pack and replace it will something that can't be impacted by the game freezing or EA's network having an issue.

    That’s just it though. You got 1- 83 player. One. If this was last years game that final pack just for winning 30 games gave you 5 or 6 cards with a chance at multiple 83 cards. Not to mention the other 4 packs you got before that final one. Plus like 30k coins. Close to a total of 12-15 cards all around. How many cards you get this time? Just a couple and some of those based on your internet or their servers or just plain bad luck and your game freezes or even dashboards you. Then when you reset run again you only have shot at those 3 packs of minimum cards. Those tokens don’t reset. It’s a joke

    Oh forgot this. It shouldn’t be based solely on what level you play either. None of the prior games based pack rewards on the level you played at. At least not in squad battles. Rewards should just be pack luck or random in that you can get a 79+ no matter the level. Games supposed to be fun. Not everyone’s level of fun is always superstar. I don’t always play superstar. It depends what mood I’m in. Or how much I want to mess around with my team. Either way it’s not competitive play so level shouldn’t matter overall

    The rewards for winning Cup Chase mode is very unbalanced. From 22 games or 23 we might play win the mode.  We should be getting at least a 10 players and 5 items for pack 10 players and 5 team items.m

     I pre ordered and No Toronto Maple Leafs home ice. Arena Why are being forced to spend our coins or points for a home teams Arena?

    The Xp path to short and rewards unbalanced

    Well the XP path this week is just a mini 1 week early access one I’d imagine. I would think Friday/today after the game officially drops that we’ll get the true season 1 XP path that’ll be a bit longer and have more to it. Pretty sure yesterday after the 5pm reset I got a choice pack, I didn’t buy anything or win anything extra, that was pick 1 of the 5 first season XP players just like last year’s seasons had. We’ll see I guess in like 4 hours from when I typed this reply
