NHLHUT needs salary cap mode or better matchmaking system.

I’m playing on Div2~3 with my 78 overall team. I combine less stars with lots of average players and silver, bronze players to build a realistic team. also activate some synergies. But almost team that i played against was upper 90 overall legend+superstar team. they got almost same players.(gretzky, sakic, salany, horton, modano, gartner... )
When i meet that kind of team, there’s not much i can do against. they are shooting everywhere, they do crazy dekes, bonecrushing bodycheck....I just watch my team fooled by the opponent legends every time and it sucks.
Some say build a better team like they did. Of course i could do that. but you know what? I don’t care about winning or losing. it’s a part of the game. but at least let me play a game in fair condition. Why silver, bronze players exist? just for reroll gambling? what about all that synergies?
There’s many thing that i don’t get it.
Matchmaking is aweful and totally unfair. I’m so stressfull playing games like this. Please EA, make a salary cap mode in HUT.

That said, I could see either more competitive seasons with this kind of catch or a different division (Salary Cap 25m, 50m, unlimited) allowing for something like a ‘salary cap.’
In the previous games, the players actually had a salary and you could see the total salary for your team. Not sure why it wasn’t a feature optimized by EA.
"Ultimate" is just a name of these mode.
I don't think it means "keep buying OP players which finally makes every team looks same "
Ignoring salary cap, it ruins the balance of game IMO.
silver, bronze players are useless. they don't even have a contact in NHL 19.
synergy's useless against that kind of teams.
I have no Idea why EA made this contents.
I'm not asking EA to make an another mode beside HUT.
Just add a category in it just like before(maybe it was nhl13~14 or something..)
To me, it doesn't look that complicated.
To split the mode would be ridiculous, the community has been shrinking the last few years. If you want to play a mode where the teams are more balanced, then play vs and leave HUT for those that want to try and build their Hockey Ultimate Team. Not their hockey mediocre team.
I’m just suggesting my opinion to make a better, fair and more reallistic game.
To me, you’re the one that make no sense.
First of all, I didn’t ask to “split” the mode.
Second, Don’t split the mode because community has been shrinken? community has been shrinken because this game sucks.
and i know play with AI team is more balanced. but i like to compete with real fans. that’s why i subscribing psn plus.
so you can call me whatever you want, but you can’t ask me to leave just because i don’t worship this mode.
It would be a great addition to add something like this, similar to the current progression challenges.
If you “Play Friends” it actually gives you options like this.
What I do agree with though, is in the Division games to cap the range of divisions you can match up against as you work your way up from Div 10 to Div 1 (hopefully) - say no more than 2 divisions up and down from your own. I struggled badly in September and October to make progress in Divisions because I would keep coming up against teams that were 4 and 5 divisions higher than I was. It wasn't until I built that team you mentioned (with Sakic, Modano, Gartner, Macinnis, Ferraro, Nieuwendyke and Roenick) that I could start to compete and I'm currently in Division 3.
Would you complain if you met me because of my team? I've worked hard at the game and logged in regularly to get the monthly free legends so why should I have to play the elite players who also have a team rating or worth the same as mine? I'd never win.
Lets say I do that...
So if you don't care about winning and loosing what is the problem? It's not fair that within the rules someone plays the game differently to you? If the NHL did that they half way through the season why don't we say to the top teams that you have to give 3 of your best players to the bottom teams to even things up. That would work, wouldn't it?
I'm sorry but this to me is just another strand to the ice tilt, HUT not fair arguments we see in the forum all the time. Many of those I would file in the 'making excuses because they are losing' or as my dad used to say "A bad workman blames his tools." I hope you're not aiming for the same bin as those.
If you do the same your team will be as good as the guys you play, therefore it will create the balance you seek.
I really dont understand your argument. The cards you have are for early hut season. Your thinking backwards.
Also drop the front about i dont care about winning...everyone plays to win otherwise take up knitting.
How is it my terrible HUT team at 85/84/85 OVR gets matched against 90+ teams? Oh right, pay to win. Some terrible player who ends up 55% at passing can take a game to overtime because he paid to get Gretzky, Matthews and Landeskog. He just "snipes" (quotations because he just mashed up on his stick) through three defenders draped all over him. If there's skill-based matchmaking I wouldn't know it because his players just make up for his deficiencies. I skate and pass circles around him all game but because he's got his strat set to protect net I can't get the one-timers that are the only way to succeed in this game.
Come on EA you have the monopoly on NHL games so why not just focus on making the game fun. You don't have to sell pay-to-win packs. And if you insist on being so greedy at least adjust the matchmaking decent so my Andrew Copp isn't lining up against Wayne Gretzky all game. I do pretty good with my terrible roster but it's so damn frustrating playing against all-stars all the time.
Radel Fazleev beats Paul Coffey to get the pass to Michael Dal Colle for the OT winner!!!!!!!! Wooooo!!!!! So awesome can't wait to play against Al MacInnis next game!*
[Removed call out]
Don't have to spend a cent. Grind out milestone challenges for Legends, monthly rewards etc. You can get a good team without much effort, and without spending a dime.
People need to get off the pay to win shtick, because it's a bogus excuse. Do what i did and build a semi competitive team offline, before going online, if you don't want such lopsided team matchups.
If you can't, or are unwilling to make the effort to build a competitive team, then play VS mode.
Also, just "mashing up" on the rs isn't sniping lol. Taking a perfect shot with perfect aim is. I always smh when people think there's no skill involved in this game. Literally a cop-out to acknowledging an actual skill gap that so many are determined to claim doesn't exist. Because everyone knows everyone can score at will just from randomly hitting the sticks on the controller, from anywhere on the ice, /s.
Now it was a Competitive Seasons game, so I could have played anybody, but this was grossly unfair, and I hope it didn't scare the guy away from HUT.
Nothing unfair about that. It's competitive seasons, not bring your starter team seasons. He should be at best, playing standard online hut until he's either skill wise good enough to be competitive with any team, or have a good enough team to assist him in being competitive.
I'm not exactly one who thinks everything should be fair for everyone. There's equality of opportunity, so it's up to the individual to utilize that to reach the possible outcome(a good team). Not investing the time and effort means you shouldn't have the same advantage as someone who has. But I'm now digressing.
I totally agree he shouldn't have started in competitive seasons, but it had to be crushing for him and it was too easy a win for me.
