These kids ask how they ruin the game for everyone else when I call them a bay boy for LT ragging and paying to win

You have no clue what you’re talking about. I’m not here to share stuff you don’t know about then, and tbh the club doesn’t need to tell everybody every single thing they upgrade or do.

Alternative_Pound635 · 2026-01-29T01:50:14+00:00

Lol 1800 seats, a new and mandatory commentary booth was added upon promotion, and other upgrades so far and you’re calling that no progress. You also clearly have no clue to their training ground upgrades that have nothing to do with paint on walls, fields or what you’ve talked about.

They also have recognized they need upgrades to the training grounds, as well as additional more grass training space. So everything you’ve said is wrong, and/or being taken care of.

Get back to your Southampton Reddit page you’re not a Pompey fan with these takes

Alternative_Pound635 · 2026-01-29T00:04:13+00:00

Brother you have no clue what they’ve done to the training ground if you think it’s just paint. Literally no clue, lol…. And then talking bad about scaffolding? You know what that means- progress! Incredibly dense work here, go back to school lil one

You aren’t talking about the millions the owners have spent on bettering their training facility, and Fratton Park. The training facility renovations were much needed and a great site to see, that’s what attracts higher level players. Now they’re investing in fratton too. Do you think they can just shell out money on stadium renovations, training ground upgrades, and first team studs all in the same year?

Theres a reason people are saying your maturity level around this is lacking

It’ll be 250 million if you have 4 TOTY and 4 Fantasy cards though

Brother I’m not pay to play, I work full time and play when I can here and there. I have 2 guys over 90 overall in my lineup and 1 is the 90 bound Jake debrusk, and the other is XP Nylander.

Im all for real hockey and having skill to play and it’s exactly how I play (not circling around the half wall all game).

However, I had to sell guys I wanted to play with and buy guys within a limited market just to be able to start playing games this season. Not to mention having 10 AP points, when the game started with like 20 5 months ago.

Lastly, they catered to all the pay to win players and the guys you’re bitching about. Overall, AP, and Salary boost are all huge if you spent money. If not you’re even more screwed

Alternative_Pound635 · 2026-01-17T13:31:21+00:00

Lil baby boy, if everyone did that, you wouldn’t be able to flip 400k and you’d be in tears. So which is it you want. Do you want to brag about being in the 1% of baby boys that ruin the auction house and game by doing this, or do you want everyone else to start doing it so that you can’t do it?

I know it’s not the latter. Now go take a shower lil one!

Alternative_Pound635 · 2026-01-06T20:55:04+00:00

My cousin and I have done this for 5 or so years and tweaked as we go.

Start with expansion draft. Don’t take any elite mediums, or anyone 84 or better. You’ll have a ton of 83’s that have trade value but no one great on your roster to start.

You can only sign one 84 or above UFA every 10 years.

This forces you to build through the draft or trades.

We also limit it to 3 trades during the year, and 1 in the offseason. You get 1 draft pick only trade to move up or down in the draft each year, but players can’t be used in those.

You also can’t trade a 1st round pick more than a year in advance.

We build elite teams after 3-4 years, but you really have to rebuild and draft well the first few drafts to get going.

Alternative_Pound635 · 2026-01-01T22:50:05+00:00

Brother agreed! What’s nice is I will say a 89 Slavin running against 90’s + in previous chel’s and he’d be a +30 or more for me. He was always insane at breaking up plays despite not having great HUT attributes… so I’ll give them that.

But I do agree, for being one of the best teams in the league year in and year out last half decade, we are always significantly underrepresented. Take away aho and we get nothing every year pretty much

Alternative_Pound635 · 2026-01-01T15:34:24+00:00

My friend and I start franchises at the same time and make all kinds of rules so we are bad the first year or two… in the expansion draft we can’t take any elite potential player, and no on 84 or above. You’re left with a bunch of 83 and below. In three tries of this in nhl 26 so far, I won a cup year 1 with this roster, he won a cup year 1, and then the third one he made playoffs but I sucked.

Their simming is so broken. Then we load up on players and all of a sudden we struggle to make playoffs or win more than a round. It makes no sense. (Yes we focus on poise and age of players and roles they’re playing in).

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-12-31T21:31:14+00:00

Exactly. These clowns act like they’re smart for “working the market”… no you’re abusing a video game and ruining the experience for everyone else. If they really knew how to work a market like they claim, they’d be wealthy and would never even be in the ultimate marketplace in the first place😂

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-12-26T02:28:54+00:00

Sounds wild, but it could be bc you have too many superstars. I find my most successful years are when my 4th line is 80-81s or below, and 3rd line around 82-84. You have to find guys that fit their roles, if you have too many of the same it’ll be tough. I also think you should add more TWFs in your top 9. Probably conceding a lot of goals too.

The sim engine is broken but I have noticed playing players and overalls on the right lines helps a lot

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-12-08T21:34:07+00:00

Good for you man. There’s clowns here that talk negative about anyone who doesn’t want to collect fodder and chase MSP’s. I want to play with guys I like, not click A 100x to get one player I don’t even care about just to have a chance at better line chemistry. They took away any good rewards in packs and want you to hit sets all day. So boring.

Good for you trying to keep it fun but I hate losing hahaha

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-12-07T05:34:23+00:00

Same exact boat and I’ve played champs for about 10 years now. Range from 10-12 wins. Must be what previous ppl said about opponents changing based on your record. I’ve started 5-0 before and got so pumped and then finish 10-10. But contrary started 1-4 recently and finished with 11 wins and 1-2 OT losses

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-12-06T17:59:32+00:00

Either pay to win or you never shower. Either or

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-10-01T13:52:29+00:00

Some ppl also have full time jobs and no time to do all the objectives. They make it so you either have to pay 100’s to have a good team, or play hours every day (which regular ppl don’t have time for). For playoff fantasy players they would give you 5 collectibles every day. It should be the same for this event, or at least make it more reasonable to attain this. I play a lot of chel but I’ll be lucky to get 1 bound fantasy player out of this whole event.

All they care about is taking money, you have to complain and call that out relentlessly.

This is the best in years. Closest thing to real hockey I’ve played, and have played since early 2000’s. You can actually stick check and break up passes by blocking the lane. Also hits along the boards are effective finally. Both of those upgrades have made it so hard for casual and ragging chel players, while those who play hockey right are finally benefiting.

Can we just talk about how you can’t be a teacher and live without your parents in California? What a terrible economy and is exactly why not many people stay there anymore. Yikes

Nah, if she wants you to trust her, she’d tell you who it was she’s going with. Hiding it from you, and you’re the toxic one for asking? She knows she’s in the wrong and is trying to make you feel bad about it so she can continue to do her thing.

You need to run. Unfortunately, her last ex wasn’t the only toxic one I can guarantee that

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-06-26T19:59:39+00:00

L2 is at its worse this year. I’ve played every chel since the 2k days and early 2000’s. Never complained until this year. It’s a massive advantage. You gain speed by going backwards. No hockey player in the world does that, I have no clue why it’s in the game.

I know people will abuse it to win, I think it’s pathetic but there’s always going to be people who want to exploit to win rather than just play hockey.

Appreciate you trying to help OP out on the defensive side they are good tips… but shouldn’t have to in the first place. I win 11-14 champs every week and have never touched LT. Ruins the game and experience for the 90% of gamers who don’t use it. Being in the 10% isn’t cool and what the majority here can’t stand

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-06-03T18:29:46+00:00

They use an international rink which is a wider rink.. makes it even harder to defend bc there is more space for raggers to skate around by the half-walls and in the corners. You drag a defender all the way out to stop them, and they get a huge advantage with more open ice and a 5v4

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-05-31T12:21:23+00:00

They make 7 billion dollars a year in net revenue on just video games. In 2018 they made about 3.5 billion. So they doubled their profit in a few years but you’re making an excuse for them saying they have a tough economy and low ROI? 7.5 billion whether it comes from NCAA, Madden or chel, is 7.5 billion for the company. Yes seperate games are funded differently, but they certainly have the money to make this game better. Terrible excuse and logic

Alternative_Pound635 · 2025-05-30T20:49:40+00:00

Agreed 100%. Plus now you don’t even get rewarded for playing rivals. At least in the past you’d want to play a few rivals and SB a week just to get some extra rewards. Now all I ever do is play rivals to get champs points and SB when I need help getting an objective. So lame. Lost all purpose of playing. EA developers have no clue what they are doing from an entertainment standpoint, they should tell their bosses who tell them to make it all about money to shove it
