so i play nhl on a regular basis, and i dont think i am to bad but, when every i play HUT my players move so slow they are rated 84> and it just seems to be lacking in speed i play offline games and seems fine but once online it is utter crap.... ???? any ideas ?
I just played my first HUT online game and got crushed 6-0. Both teams consisted of European league players, but his were flying and mine were sooo slow. It got better after the first period it seemed, or my opponent started taking it easy on me (he was much better than me, so it wasn't my player's speed that made me lose).
I went 9-0 in HUT games vs the computer opponent, so maybe it was EA's way of levelling the playing field? (maybe they thought my record meant I would be a good player, so I was handicapped)
I have experienced this myself. It usually happens when you play away games or/and the game is played on international ice. I suggest to get North American Arena. Sometimes it is also caused by the connection.
So i have herd that speed is affected by your Momentum in the game... This will take a little explaining so bear with me.
The ways that you can get more speed which in result will help your team score goals...
*Scoring goals will help your players get speed
*Less turnovers will result in more speed
*Try to minimize your offsides and icing as that slows down your players
* As in real life, If you come out of the gate with too much agression and always using speed burst then you will become tired... Its not an arcade game where you can speed burst the whole game... Use it when you need it!!
* Last way of getting speed is by winning fights and giving crunching hits to the other team.. it will slow them down and give your team speed!!
Hope this helped! Please leave some XP If it did 🙂
APPARENTLY ACCORDING TO A LOT OF ONLINE PLAYERS...THE REASON THIS HAPPENS IS:
When you play a HUT team with a much more skilled team (Crosby, Stamkos, Ovi etc....) your team if not as skillful(Kopitar, Sedins, Kesler, St.Louis, Couture etc...) will automaticaly feel as if they are slower instead of just having the teams play with the attribues of the players. WHICH DOESN'T SURPRISE ME!
WELL DONE EA WELL DONE! <----------ME BEING SARCASTIC
why can't there be just actual momentum??? let the game be a game? if u are a more skilled user then that should be the winning formula NOT giving someone an advantage from the start of the game.
its all about a balanced lineup, match each line on your team with speed and skill accordingly. say a HL backstrom with say HL hossa and HL marleau as a example high chemisty is there cause u got a SNP TWF and a PLY = 99 chemisty if every1 has the same team card applied. i rarely lose online because my biggest thing is patience, to many teams are reckless going for big hits with no support or trying to go threw my whole team with 1 player while his support is making a line change. so line em up make your forwards change get it to your D now get a moving, change D and u set u wont get tired if u keep your shifts short its not all about who u got its where u putting them in your lineup that they will do you the most gud. its not always about the big name players, yes u want your top 6 forwards to be able to score and your bottom 6 as your shutdown lines really. thats how ive dun it and its paid off big time for me. 69-12-4 agrees with that and i vs teams with towes kane crosby ect and make them seem like they dont even own them cause they getting shutdown by my 3rd and 4th lines all game long.
HUT online games are more like swiming (slow-mo) competition rather than hockey. I have 90 overal top forward line and I've tried adding skating training (to boost up to 97+ SKT), but made no difference.
My player hits are more like tai chi or it feels like they're going for a hug than a hit... embarassing.
