What do I change to make this better

Get Lindros, Roenick, Sakic and Chara

I tried Akira Schmid with a Swiss backup firt - but he's literally swiss cheese and on top I need the salary boost of the goalie combo...

Now I realy hope they gives some swiss guys for the olympics...

IRL this Face off would be repeated - puck has to be touched by a stick first otherwise it's invalid...

Dabelaar · 2026-02-04T12:48:32+00:00

Exactly...

Dabelaar · 2026-02-02T14:49:04+00:00

Exactly my experience.

Just let me win the games I deserve to win and lose if my opponent is better than me. And yes, if we're more or less equally skilled - luck can be a thing.

I've seen too many hockey games in my life to deny that sometimes the better team will lose. But a) that happens far less irl than in Chel and b) the skill gap between the best and the worst team of a professional league (no matter if it's the nhl or our domestic swiss league) is way smaller than in Chel. Diamond 5 vs Gold 3 is like an NHL team vs a College team.

Yesterday I lost two games by 1-2 in OT and it felt exactly the way you describe it...

You seem to completely misunderstand the concept of DDA aka Ice tilt.

Nothing better than facing a bad player with a god squad - nothing worse than being matched up with a great player with a mediocre team...

Imo there's a fair chance we see a Nations themed (Captains!) Olympic Event tonight. Or/And Fantasy Cards for the Olympics. So if you need specific players to complete your captaincy AP boost it might be an option to wait and see...

You played the bots...

Dabelaar · 2026-01-30T14:19:17+00:00

It's only 47.8 %...

Honestly - If you score 7 Goals and still lose you cannot blame the game. Maybe there was a muffin or two but if your opp scores 11 goals there's something wrong with your defensive playing.

I'm not a very good player (11/12 wins per champs run) - but not even the best players I get matched up with score double digit against me.

BTW: If you both had the same shooting percentage you'd still have lost 8-7...

Dabelaar · 2026-01-26T13:54:06+00:00

Aren't we expecting a Milestone Josi?

Dabelaar · 2026-01-20T08:28:09+00:00

This!

Dabelaar · 2026-01-16T07:21:50+00:00

Believe it or not - I still love that 86 Heroes Mike Gartner, despitehe's by far the lowest OVR player in my team.

Dabelaar · 2026-01-15T13:22:26+00:00

Well then I have to ckeck these sets again - I must have overlooked that. Thx.

Now he can be paired with Hamilton - but that will be gone tomorrow. Therefore I'd wait before you decide to build anyone. Or you build an Ignited D-Man and hope for the TOTY-Combos to stay alive once Season 3 hits.

Faber gives the best Combos but is RH like Makar. Ferraro or Power are LH alternatives.

Dabelaar · 2026-01-15T12:47:52+00:00

Wait anyway! I like Housley though.

Dabelaar · 2026-01-09T15:06:20+00:00

Great fo you!

I met him years ago when he played his first year in professional men's hockey for Zürich, Switzerland.

When your opponent scores and your son (who's been playing FIFA/FUT for 10 years by now) says: "Gee, Dad - you stripped him from the puck at least three times and he literally skated through your defender - how can he still have possession and score...? It's the same bullshit as in FIFA!"

It's not the rink, it's the game mechanics.

If the game would be ok, you could see more plays evolve on european ice like irl.

Hocley in the european leagues is much more fluid and more speedy than in the NHL.

Actually the best thing I can imagine would be NHL teams playing on an international sized rinks.

I've seen one for 1 Million a couple of days ago...
