100% agree with everything you said. I built up a great team. I was excited to finally play with a team with my lowest player rating being 90. I had all the players cards changed to the same team, with 100 chemistry across the board. I was 2 points away from a division 1 title and with 3 games to play and suddenly went into a downward spiral. I lost games after game and was dropped all they way to division 4. My superstar players suddenly couldn't skate....defense suddenly couldn't poke check...I would check a player only to see that player get up, grab the puck, and score. My goalie couldn't stop a single shot. The other teams goalies would have several miraculous saves a game. My CPU players would go offsides when I was on a breakaway. My 90 rated checkers would bounce off forwards when trying to check..........so I decided to test something. I changed all my superstar players out with lower level players. I only had one 90 rated player and the rest were 88 or 89. I suddenly when on a win streak back to division 1, getting division titles in all divisions along the way. I changed my team back to the superstars, win a few D1 games, and am now a loss away from division 4 again. I hate this. Ice tilt is 100% real. EA is a bunch of crooks, setting up ice tilts to make us spend more money on packs. If you want to win games, put in your scrubs.
