  • I don’t recall ever being able to skate to the bench to make a change in any game mode other than in Be a Pro
  • NHL 08 is the last game I remember it being in, I could be wrong though.
  • The issue I have with line changes is often I’ll have 2 of 3 forwards change or 1 of 2 D change, and if the other line mate isn’t able to change within like 10-15 seconds they forget about it. Then you have to hit B/O 5 times or X/square 4 times to get the straggler off the ice. It would help if we were able to hold down B…
  • The randomization is about the only thing that separates squad battles from weekly challenges. Beat the cpu 37 times on legendary for X Prize. I think the reason they’ve kept randomization is it gives the players that wouldn’t be able to finish top 100 in a skill based ranking the opportunity to finish 1st or top 10 etc.
  • It’s funny because if you talk to any of the game changers or twitch streamers they’ll tell you the opposite. EA knows that the game changers/streamers/“elites”/competitive players will buy the new game each year regardless, but there are casual players that won’t buy the game if a chl goalie’s helmet art isn’t correct or…
  • What happened when you used the 84 rated lineup on your main account
  • The BBB is just a bigger version of Yelp that offers to help “mediate” complaints between consumers and companies. If you actually want to make a meaningful complaint file one with the FTC. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/
  • They definitely tweaked things but I wouldn’t necessarily say they increased the difficulty. Pre patch I had been using a 65 overall goalie, as I found low overall goalies were just as good, likely better, than 84+ goalies. But mostly that having a low team overall (79) made the AI really easy to play against.…
  • I’ve found that it doesn’t really matter what OVR team I play against, I end up having a really easy game, followed by a tougher game, then followed by an easy game, and followed by a tougher game. Etc Now whenever I have a ~15-0 game, I go do a quick daily challenge and let the juiced up AI wear itself out. Then I go back…
  • Here’s a few examples from one night of squad battles. Game One: Period One play: Opponent dumb & bad, gives up goal https://xboxclips.co/ay-dindu-nuffin/487aa259-3218-4748-a036-350f9b36a775 Then period 3 comes along: Pulled hammy? https://xboxclips.co/ay-dindu-nuffin/099ca15c-256d-4733-95b2-9ae14ce078b4 Why go after a…
  • Because coins are constantly being added into the game, through games played, packs, rewards, etc.. The auction tax (and sets for unreadable cards) takes coins out of the game to help slow inflation. Or a more forum friendly reason would be, so players still spend real money on packs. It also helps prevent cards from being…
  • Here are clips from two games so played today showing the difference on how high vs low ovr players move the puck, both on Superstar. Clip 1: 76 team ovr, feat. 69ovr Ryan O’Rourke & 61ovr Cole Jordan on defense https://xboxclips.co/ay-dindu-nuffin/5ec94f16-1ea0-4fc0-8a66-232597b672ac Clip 2: 86 team ovr, feat Lemuix,…
  • Look at lines, not the team overall. It only takes a bronze goalie and a bad 4th line to drastically lower a team’s overall. There’s a lot of teams right now from people that simply made a hut team, grabbed the two 89 loans and that’s it. So you go in thinking you’re playing some scrubby 74 ovr team and then a 89/89/82…
  • Loose puck dekes up the ice and then skate back towards your own end holding the puck between your legs. You’ll get tripped soon enough.
  • [quote="Dmaster99;d-242259"]Just played a guy in HUT / Div 4 who was staying beside his goalie the whole game. We went to OT where he had a 5-3 PP but remained in his zone. This kills the interest for this game when people are playing like this. I am about to give up as I am facing too much defensive style teams. It is now…
  • Or you know, you could just play HUT & “unlock” a team instead of trying to buy it. Since the 97 gaborik was specifically mentioned, I’ll share how I got mine. I received a 90 trade deadline gaborik in exchange for 2 2k cards in gold rare re-roll set. I did the few challenges and received the 2 free trade collectibles. I…
  • Make sure to play the competitive seasons each week. You get free pack(s) at the end for just participating. Not all cards are equal. Before buying cards from the auction house, look through it a bit to get the sense of who to use. For example, there’s a reason players like Kopitar, Getzlaf, and Barzel are far cheaper than…
  • [quote="walkingwounded65;c-2052851"]Not saying this didn’t happen, but I have never had it happen to me.[/quote] Its happened to me 2 or 3 times earlier this year. Likely random server error(s), no biggie, but it gave me the habit of watching if the season tab updates at the end of a game. Given the apparent recent issues…
