Game is ruined because of fairness advantage. All you can do is use a lower team with checking, play 1-4 using neutral zone trap and defence pinching. Let your ai play for you wait for turnovers then cheese one. It's diaperware 20 that's how to play now not with decent players.
I now have NP, 1T, TK, SP, FB active(4 full team syns)....My AI’s should be beast mode and they are trash. Morenz, along with a number of other high profile players on my team with all of those team Syn boosts should be blowing by guys with ease.....Yet comp players on pro difficulty and above even from lower leagues are blowing by me. There are no excuses you can make. It’s handicapping higher overall teams to allow lower ovr teams to compete. AKA ice tilt. It affects online and offline. It’s called HOCKEY ULTIMATE TEAM. Not HOCKEY.....build a lower overall team with 4th line bronze and backup goalie bronze TEAM...Cmon
I am tryin somethin new. I tried the base team. I tried a base card on every line and now I'm tryin another mixed version of beast team and 2 bronze tendies haha

Activating syns doesn't mean they go beast mode. Just raises their attributes slightly.
For the record, using a 91ovr team, i smashed an 80ovr sb team 18-0 on ss difficulty. I have a feeling it's more strategies being used that the player has set with their team. Combined with the fact we're 2 months in, and I've adjusted to the subtle and not so subtle changes, scoring is much easier now.
Online, I'm certain its simply latency making the difference, and confirmation bias associates the low team as the reason, as it's your default thought when it happens. When it's a better team, you probably shrug it off to it simply being a better team. Ea says going to dedicated servers means if someone has a poor connection, it shouldn't effect the other player. But I don't think it's working like that. I'd wager ea nhl team really needs to redo their "net code", to make the online experience better. Mortal kombat did this for mkx, and it was a MASSIVE improvement. This is, for online, the most likely reason for the inconsistencies, imo.
I’ve been playing HUT since ‘12 and I’ve noticed a very prevalent downfall in the overall path that this game Has taken over the years. EA has been geared towards the ability to exploit gamers for several years now...And also you guys have to stop making excuses for why a lower league 69 ovr player with a speed of 79 is catching my 91 ovr Gretzky.

Agree 100%. This game only gives the advantage to influencers youtubers and EA assoc. There has been ice tilt ever since i recall. And everyone knows this. If people say otherwise they have a different agenda.
I play on average 6 games a day and it is so apparent that sometimes i wait for it if im leading 3-0 start of period 3. I know a goal will be s scored within the next 5 minutes. Boom --slapshot it hits my goalies head pings the crossbar and in. And the announcer yells..that was filthy..scripted. now 3 1 minute left. I know a wrister from the blueline is coming and i defend well. Hits a skate and gets rediredirected in.Goallll,,, now 3-2. 5econds left cheese wrister over Bishop left shoulder hits his padding..Goal... now tied 3 3 OT coming. They win faceoff 5 lightning passes 1 time it in. They win 4 3 and all i can do is laugh ..because i knew it was coming.. then i see my Ovi on the bench shaking his head.. and liberally thinking..
Wow we just got EAed again...

@Z0mbieBabyJesus teams, syns and stats.. everyone throws the blame to one or another or all for what's at fault.
It's a straight up game that in alot of instances should just be black and white.. it's why there are 'divisions' in every mode but it's not. It doesn't matter, it's like a teeter totter that has to keep balance.
In my mind if they want balance there should be no cr no divisions etc... it defeats the purpose to have either and still try to handicap and balance ?
Anyway that stuff aside in all reality it doesnt matter if you're the 91 team or 80 team if you win you dont totally notice it, if you lose you see everything... it has instances of evidence in just about every game though in all honesty
