Do you agree?

I have a solid team of 85s-87s with my one 91 Kane from Christmas. As a measure to decrease whatever this momentum is people talk about (which I more or less noticed on my way up to div 2 as I was usually the better team) I swapped my backup to a 52 overall to bring my team rating down to 85, instead of 90, which drastically changed the way the game felt. This aside my main point is, I was steam rolling my way to div 1, but now I struggle with a new issue. People who have these teams full of 92+ legends from whatever challenges or whatever, that I literally have upwards of 10 minutes of control on, and out shoot 3-1. What got me to write this post was playing a game against a 95 overall team where I out shot them 37-6 with 9 mins 25 seconds of control to their 3, and guess who wins? 5-2 for them. Now I'm not saying if someone is legitimately creating good scoring chances it's an issue, what I am saying is all these cheesers that wanted to sink their life into the game and lose all their games while doing it to complete these challenges for legends, now coast their way on face stats of their cards. There is no way I went from winning games 7-2 etc to still continuing to roll guys only to be scored on every shot. I have an 89 overall goalie. Literally 3 times today I had guys have less than 10 shots total in the game and score 4 goals in the first period. It's ridiculous, and while no one cares if I ever pick up the controller again,I know I can't be the only one dealing with this. it's annoying that to even be close to competing with these guys I need to drop divisions to knock the challenges off or dump a bunch of money in the game. At the end of the day it should be who has more skill that is the winner and I'm literally bending people over and spanking them only to be scored on every one of the few shots they squeeked out a game. Trying to make div one is like trying to get through a concrete wall head first. Either fix the goalie AI or stop giving legends 90+ stats in every category even tho they might never have been very physical or never really had good hands or never had a highly accurate shot. It's garbage. My only large defencemen that isn't a special card is Shea Weber and he literally got laid out by a legend Clark. He's twice his size and would surely run 5'9 Clarke over in real life but because of jacked stats who ends up having the play stopped to be stretcherd out of the building. Shea Weber. Please let me know your thoughts on this

I’m convinced that the only reason glitch goals exist is because of AI programming, where if you’re playing against the AI and it’s “programmed” to win, these are the types of shots they take and these are the types of shots that go in.
I’ve not experienced so much as ‘ice tilt,’ but rather host advantage. Lower overalls, in my experience, haven’t yielded higher win results. Quite the opposite.
Bobby Clarke was captain of the “Broadstreet Bullies”. He was known as a hard heavy hitter. Being big doesn’t mean you can’t get hurt from a hit. Also he’s not 5’9”.
As for the legend cards, almost all (if not all) are NHL Hall of Fame players. Of course their stats are going to be high. And almost all of them are attainable without spending any coin, just complete the milestone. These are also (for the most part) end game cards. Honestly you’re making a ton of generalizations about these cards. There is no 95 Modano he’s a 92 (comp season reward Modano is 93), nor are there remotely enough 95 rated legends to make an entire team of 95’s & a 99 Gretzky.
Talking about shots & goals without actually seeing the plays that led to them is pointless. Post a video or 2 of gameplay footage.
Lower rated teams are way too close to top teams in terms of speed , skating ability. ..
You complain about people "sinking their life into the game" for legends, are your probably the first to complain about people buying teams with credit cards. ..
You're complain about the fact that the skill leveling modifier is allowing you to dominate everything but the scoreboard against legend teams? Guess what ? You shouldn't be. There's a reason why a player with 90+ shooting can score with one chance, while your 81 gold players rack up the shots with nothing to show for it.
Bizarre game this NHL has become
What's the point lol? Really?
I'm really sick of this "conspiracy theory " bd they try and throw at us. No tilt, no skill leveling.... they have dedicated servers and it's still there.
Gold cards defenseman can catch my 94 Sakic, 94 Kucherov? Yet my team forgets to backcheck for 4 straight 2 on 1s?
His best player 88 redden 87 smith. He also had 4 silvers.
My overall is 88 had quality shots he scored on a breakaway after 85 Taylor hall skated through 4 defenders and kept the puck and in OT on a play from far corner across ice pass for a one timer.
