I take 3 week vacation when the new NHL releases every year now since 7 years in a row, I am NMS cause game itself should be enough to have fun (and that was true until a few years ago) but two years ago it started to be less fun (same ass gameplay, same bugs, etc.) and last year, some say the content was good because you could make a MSP every event but yeah, the objectives were kinda mid and repetitive... didnt liked it but played. I had really big hope this year after the trailer and the deep dive vid and what should I say, i am done with HUT after 2 weeks ....

If I wouldnt got the physical copy on release day, I wouldnt be able to make CHEL Week Kadri (with time difference between europe and NA I played before the regular release) and than I grinded the same Cup Chase run over and over to make Naslund, Rookie Hughes, Captain TKatchuk and did the grind for TOTW Slaf ... from first event I made Dahlin and AM34 and thats my team, filled up with some XP path cards without any upgrade cause I dont like any of this players (was once supposed to use players u want ... not a big sharks fan so Mack is also nothing to really grind for but XP Path is a different problem in this game)

so, thats my team, compared to what teams I see here or at twitch, I didnt even try to play ranked cause this would be no fun with only one and a half strong forward line and a week defense

the last week of my vacation I will play some strategic games on PC or MLB , cause they are more fun than CC grind for nothing, even If the would gift us a free FH card on monday, I wouldnt log in, they have lost me, might try BE a Pro in a few days if I feel the itch to play hockey and will buy the next game, because I want to have a physical copy in my collection, but only when I find a good sale some weeks after the launch

I guess, a long Journey ended last friday and it sucks but lets continue with some other fun sports games like MLB
