I won a game and I'm a veteran 3 as a defenseman, and my stats were all A's and the thing to level up is a B+ and I can't level up it's getting frustrating.
IDontTeamwork is right. If you quit a lot of games it has a negative effect on your grades. For example, it's the 1st period and your human goalie has let in a couple of goals so you decide to quit. Your grades haven't built up much yet. You may have an A in position, B in teamplay and a D in stats (this would be a C+ if the goals were scored when you were shorthanded), but these will drop a letter grade if you quit. Changing your grades to B, C and F (or D). Too many of these has a very negative impact on your overall grade.
So, don't quit out if you go down a couple goals. Let the other guys on your team rage quit. You'll end up with a team full of AI players which actually do quite well against humans if you let them do their thing and not call for the puck all the time.
The way I have previously gotten my player to level up fast (without boosting) is by adhereing to a certain set of rules when joining OTP games.
- Never play with a human goalie on your side. If you can't find a game without a human goalie, at least make sure the other team has one too.
- Choose to play on the home team. I have always had better luck there. If you see the home team is full and there are 1 or 2 players on the visiting team, leave the lobby and find another game. This also helps avoid "teams" that play OTP together.
- With playing D you can really raise your templay score by hitting. I wouldn't go crazy on the hits because that is bad for your whole team in general, but hitting when you can will really help.
- Dump the puck on penalty kills.
- Don't call for passes that won't get to you and make sure your passes are going to reach their target.
I hope this helps. Good luck! Getting L3 takes a lot of work, but it's a huge weight off your shoulders when it's done 🙂 Can't wait to do it all over again in NHL 15!
