Important question regarding stat limits

I've been playing HUT this year and I've been having a good time with the mode but I do have an important question for any developer that can answer this; do stats cap out at 99? My reasoning for this question is because with Synergies in mind, I would assume stats can pop over the 99 limit otherwise it make them rather redundant for upper echelon teams, wouldn't it?

  • Synergies are a weird thing man. I’ve been burning coins messing with em.

    Why is Silver Mats Sundin the only player I can find that has synergies listed as TK WK. All others are listed in the reverse. WK TK.

    Why does it all meeeeeeeeaaaaaean??
  • 99 is the cap.

    Even though the card will say 99SKT, 99SHT, 99HND or whatever, if you look at the actual player stats by clicking R3, they wont all be 99.

    Personally I'm not bothering with synergies. You dont see the additional +2/3/4 whatever in the player card, who knows if it's even working in the background.
  • I've seen them post several times and yes, 99 is it. The 99OVRs won't be available until late in the season, maybe even summer so there's some time before it becomes redunant.

    Synergies will increase the ratings and I see the boosts once I unlock one but I won't get rid of a higher rated card just for the Synergy boost. There is no Chemistry component so you'll want to make sure the rating is where you want it. I had BM on recently but rolled a Stamkos and Bergeron and they gave higher ratings where needed so I broke up my synergy.

    I like to play physical and tend to look for NP, RS and AD 1st but until more 90+OVRs come out I'll take the highest ratings I can lineup. They changed the abbreviations this season and I'm still trying to figure which is which but NP for players and FB for teams are still the same and both have been good for me in the past.

    Needing 8 for TK, a player synergy, is a bit much to ask.

    Gotcha and thank you for the timely response. I'd imagine it wouldn't be that hard to implement visual synergies boosts in the player stats profile via green numbers adjacent to the stat itself.

    Exactly. Personally I dont notice synergies but some do. But even if you do, as Jeff mentioned it might be more beneficial to run higher overall players even if it costs you a synergy.
