Scrubs or Studs = Doesnt Really Matter

Prev13
I have changed my team 10X now... Started with all gold players... roughly 88s and some lower players and have worked the market diligently...buying some packs on the weekends and what not... I have played many different players with many different teams and found that it really doesn't matter if you have all heroes...I am in Div 1 right now with a healthy mix of guys...played the number one guy in HUT x 2 this year and beat him once with my scrub lineup 3-1 and lost 6-3 with my monster team of MOV and legends... sometimes I have even been completely out skated and when I went to check my opponent's team I was in awe to find out it was a complete team of base golds with weak synergies... my internet is jacked Ultimate250 with my ps4 wired and forwarded so my gaming experience should always be optimal but its never the case...still get laggy games...still have players with 99 speed getting caught by base players with 88 speed...my advice is run a mixed team with a couple synergies that you like...my last line now is base Kesler, Cogs and Hagelin and they snipe as much as my top line of MOV Toews, MOV Kane, MOV Kessel...just remember that you will always experience variables in gameplay from opponent to opponent...I would love to hear other experiences or advice from the community???

    i agree 100% everything is different game to game. i have a great internet connection, wired and some times my team is skating in mud and sometimes they fly (Amonte with TW, etc) sometimes MOV Price gives up 3 goals on 8 shots including un-screened point wristers and sometimes hes post to post stopping point-blank 1Ts i really think those factors are almost random

    Oh ya, you know it +1
    All in all, We are all just bricks in the wall
  • Speed is messed up, even if both are fresh, I've seen an Hagelin with speedster unable to catch up a Lucic.
  • This post is the real honest truth. Game to Game, you have no idea what type of gameplay you're going to get. It can be smooth and the AI can be proper. Then the next, guys are stuck in mud. Stuck behind the back of your net (dead zone). The one I've noticed is my controller vibrating for no reason. That must be due to lag and a check that happened, 6 seconds earlier tho! The game is a joke. EA Hocus Pocus is entirely a legit thing.

    I agree 110℅ with the AI being random ... My d men are inverted and seem to always want to be in their natural spots, sometimes they cover the man, sometimes not, sometimes find open ice, sometimes just keep bumping into me ... They have no general awareness, no tendencies, and we have no real control over them ...

    Then all the attributes are too close imo, and a lot of players have inflated stats, Kane 90+ def awareness for example...

    That kind of stuff happens very often in HUT and very rarely in VS, make your own conclusions...

    Now that I think about it I've seen a fresh Sullivan with S + TW getting catched up by Oleksiak... Don't even start me on guys missing 15 one timers in a row.

    This!! HUT is a moneymaker. Discontent players pay real money for fake stats. The game is programmed to make you want to use money to improve your team. But nothing really changes.

    Sickening!!
  • Whenever I get a better player my team plays better.
  • TW activated and S ACTIVE scrubs still burn my fresh lines
  • Your post is confusing, are you saying that internet connection is directly correlated to ratings speed?
  • Team doesn't matter. It all doesn't matter. When I rip a slapshot from the slot with amonte who basically has 99 slapshot power and accuracy there shouldn't be a goalie in the game that can stop that
  • what about a goalie with 99 quickness and positioning?


    you guys sound ridiculous... its a game... sometimes slower guys will outskate faster guys, it happens... if its 100% of the time, that's a different story... most of these problems are in my opinion Internet related... I have 0 problems offline, and my team plays exactly how I would expect them to...

    and online, the only time I have problems is when the connection isn't perfect... besides that, its a game of chance..

    some games ill have 30 shots on goal with 1 goal, other games 5 goals with 8 shots. isn't it supposed to be somewhat realistic? just because you have a team of all 99s doesn't mean your playing will be flawless
  • Im 450 games in and still havent Played a game were "Chara outskated mcdavid". Played many slow games but thats on both sides.

    That i play much better with My 98-97-96 ranked team than My 93-90-89 is a fact
  • Oh no I agree with you don. That's kind of what I was getting at with my comment without going into the detail you did :-)
  • Last night I needed 1 point to win Div 2 after getting relegated a few nights back...big pack on the line... start of the third its 1-1 and I get a breakaway with Bobby Hull... TW & S activated he gets caught by a base Risto whos speed is like 85 or something...so dumb...guy had a team of all base cards and beats me 2-1... gets a breakaway with the standard 1 min left on a bouncing puck...its variables like this that make the game lose its value...I put a hero kolzig in net and cant see anything...takes ten presses to get to by player before I have opened up a lane and caused a breakaway
  • I know it's not mental. Over the weekend, I added Bobby Hull, Bucyk, and also Neidermayer. My team seems like it's misfiring, or has a clogged injector.

    Nah you gotta get used to your upgraded guys. The way they play also might want to change your lines up a little too have some balance in them. You know a little speedy guy with a big guy you know make it so your skaters can get some space all that fun stuff. Just saying.
    Also simply adding 3 players shouldn't effect your play that much

    its not... its in your head, or you're playing poorly..

    by the way... whenever I add a new player... whether he's an 89 or a 94... I always play an offline game to test him out
