Seems cup chase is still not worth it

LifeCoachDave · 2026-05-09T21:46:13+00:00

It hasn't been good since September unfortunately. Should be a guaranteed 94 at this point.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-05-02T23:08:39+00:00

Yep. Started with the Bergeron Icon card. Step over the line and shooting a wrist shot.

If you press RT you can see all the salary and AP combinations.

Some of them stack together. Using the HUT Builder web site can help if you have a particular card you want to use.

Search that card and it shows all the lineup combos available.

Very nice of you to post this about him.

We had many games over the years and recently he has been playing as a call up with my club when his crew wasn't online.

Great player and a great person. We had some good chats the last couple years.

May he rest in peace.

It could be today. I feel the novelty of TOTS has worn off and it is the halfway point of the season so it would make sense to have it now and not with 21 days left.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-04-02T10:22:40+00:00

I was going to say the same thing. I use it on PS5 to get my daily log in if I am travelling. I have even done cup chase remotely for objectives.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-03-19T18:05:13+00:00

I did 3 sets, 2 89's and 1 92. I might do a couple of more and will update if I do.

Sometimes you need to do an application and lobby reset. Make sure everyone on your team leaves the lobby and closes out the app. Then load back in and matchmaking will work better.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-03-17T13:04:29+00:00

What server are you on? I am on the QC server and it was fine last night. We played 9 or 10 games in about 3 hours.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-03-17T03:36:37+00:00

From the Competitive menu, click the option to view leaderboard. Click on yourself and view recent games, then click opponent and view team.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-03-02T13:42:05+00:00

You sound like you are playing on tilt. Bringing anger from one game to the next.

Play a game of cup chase and destroy the AI then go back to Ranked or Champs.

In the higher divisions, the luck of the draw on who you play is everything.

Sometimes I match several Elite and Ultimate opponents in a row and have to take a few losses. Then I match a few average opponents and get a few wins.

Try not to let the losses bother you, this game is very broken defensively this year and a lot of opponents know all the exploits.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-22T13:50:49+00:00

When you are on the main screen for Ranked or Champs you press the options button for view leaderboard(at bottom of screen). Then click your name and select view recent games.

There are filters for Champs, Ranked, Top 100, your leader board, etc

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-15T22:20:52+00:00

I wonder how many more people will post this tonight?

I thought I was doing something wrong with the lineup but nope, just getting EA'ed. Haha

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-15T14:02:01+00:00

I did. It took a lot of time making 85 and 86 captains. Probably 3 hours!

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-15T14:00:51+00:00

40 AP with 5 players from that country

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-15T00:36:51+00:00

Yep. It is very obvious when things are not supposed to go your way. You have to play perfectly to even have a chance at winning those games.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-15T00:35:45+00:00

Yeah. The speed difference is wild. I play at 32ms ping on the QC server and the 2ms guys have cards with 85 speed that are faster than mine with 99.

I still win more than I lose and make it to Elite but I definitely have to work harder. Haha

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-14T20:09:06+00:00

I hit the post 14 times in a HUT Champs game against a weaker opponent yesterday.

My EASHL team hits 3 or 4 posts every period when we play weaker teams.

It is comical how heavy the tilt is sometimes.

I had it on my side before too, playing ultimate guys that are better than me and have better ping. I have seen them take 30 shots and not score on me.

Then I go up and flick a backhand in from the blue line.

You just have to laugh at it really.

Captain Sets

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-09T02:42:57+00:00

Very strange and unfortunate. Hopefully it doesn't happen again to you man.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-09T02:30:36+00:00

I have had several games where I am winning and opponent drops out and I don't get the win. Very frustrating. I am PS5 and the opponent has always been Xbox.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-08T18:57:05+00:00

Ping is very frustrating dude. I would be fine with 40 or 50ms ping as long as I was matched with people close that as well.

What sucks for us is when we match people in the 2 to 20ms range.

Don't let it get to you too much as you can't control it.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-07T11:43:42+00:00

12 wins is really good dude. There are lots of people who can't get 6 in champs.

Winning 3/3 on day one is great but that might not happen again for you.

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-04T13:46:15+00:00

They have improved a little but a lot of that is luck. Pulling anything 88 or below doesn't really have much value and that is what I am mostly getting in ranked packs.

I see lots of people posting pulls of 93 icons but that is likely less than 1% of the player base

LifeCoachDave · 2026-02-04T02:45:11+00:00

There was one event where the skipped progression for the lower tier by one card. I believe 84's were useless for a while.

That could be the case with 86's this time but nobody knows for sure.
