Community ManagerHi there, @MarlieCash.
Can you post those clips where you're getting beat by lower-rated teams? They'll be reviewed for any issues. Thanks!
I was considering posting a topic about this, but I'm glad you did. I feel the experience is completely random, and agree that my 90 OVR Squad Battles team should not be challenged at all on All Star by these 77 OVR teams with no synergies, and about 2 actual NHL players. The amount of boost makes me wonder why Superstar even exists. But then, some days, I'm lucky enough to get two of these team in my list, and I'll struggle to beat one 3-2, then blow the other out 11-0 like it's on Pro.
If there was any benefit at all to winning an evenly-contested game, I wouldn't care much, but this scoring system is all about "the 5 goals scored". If I shut a team out 2-0 on All Star, I still get more points if I just blow them out on Pro, instead, so what's the point to ramping up the difficulty? And when complete garbage teams get so boosted on All Star, what's Superstar even for?
To further the point, here's a screenshot from tonight's games. These were boring AF. There's very little difference in points based on level and results. The two games with no replay available, I played on a level up, and lost each 3-2, so had to replay and kill them on a level lower. The 12-0 game was I believe a 91 OVR team with synergies, the 4-0 game, like an 81 at best, without synergies. The 14-2 game, I didn't bother playing a level up. I sit on the line between Elite 3 and Elite 2, but 1000 coins and a black pack just aren't worth the frustration of trying to beat these teams on a higher level. I can just coast through every game on Pro, instead, and not have the frustration and stress level for what isn't even close to a worthwhile reward.
