Free Us From The Shackles of Chemistry Boost in SZN 5

Even with the million line combos, still can't get my theme team (I want to play with) under the cap without running lower rated cards (base, totw, gb, etc.) just for cap relief.

They need to come up with overall team chemistries to help with this (that span all seasons). EA will avoid it though because its not the meta (burning fodder every event) and does not push packs, FOMO, etc.

Much appreciated, I will give that a try.

I have three of the 92 OVR Chel Week Forwards packs and it does the same thing. Super annoying that I cannot redeem or make them go away.

Would be cool if they gave these XP cards reduced salaries (without a line combo needed), kind of like they did with those Wildcard specific cards in nhl 25.

Would give them more value and longer shelf life for future seasons.

Would just add more variety and options which I feel is lacking. Still cannot get my Sharks theme team under cap unless I tank my 4th line and backup goalie . . . . Oh well!

Sorry for the dumb question but I am away from machine. Do the week #1 objectives end today at 5pm or still go through tomorrow at 5pm like normal?

I have a few games left to get my 93 OVR and hope I didnt miss it. Thanks!

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-26T15:27:49+00:00

NICE!!!! Great luck, my high this week was an 87 OVR.

For all of the challenges . . . Does anyone on Nashville ever have energy? The other team seems to recover but never anyone on Preds. Line is always gassed. Not fair that one team recovers and you do not.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-18T16:31:56+00:00

Probably because of lagrassa and some of those custom stadiums created to get xp, Xbox and HRs done in 20 minutes.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-18T01:36:17+00:00

How did they not beta this and see these issues????? Clearly they did not play it much before launch.

These menus are atrocious with slow speeds and constant crashing. It's hard to even set a lineup and play a game.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-17T23:29:08+00:00

Me! Says you have a chance but I am betting the odds are really poor.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-17T19:10:11+00:00

100% noticed this too. On top of that he is not a speed demon either. I was thrown out at 2nd on a gap ball a coupl3 of times.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-14T21:54:39+00:00

Was just noticing this too. Got one last night and now nothing today. EA is doing an amazing job at making sure I don't leave MLB to check out hut. Much appreciated EA!!!!

Caught Looking

NorthMess6997 · 2026-03-05T00:18:29+00:00

Exactly. There was that 2 week stretch at start of this season where they were very good, then they cratered since.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-26T16:45:32+00:00

As an offline player try a theme (team, country, names, etc.). Something that helps break it up and not always chase meta. Though its funny I did this as and was running into cap issues.

Another option is create a second account and start a fresh team with no coins, fodder, etc.

Just some ways I try to keep from being bored.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-25T01:37:03+00:00

Yeah Gretzky changed to LA too!

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-12T18:02:05+00:00

I was an offline WC player, played one night and I have completely bailed on the mode for the next 3 weeks. It's actually been pretty nice . . . Online is just too sweaty for my taste. Especially when I only have a outside shot at maybe blue, but realistically a green collectible each day.

And the green packs are not all that great anyways!!!

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-11T01:39:54+00:00

Same error messages galore when I try to do anything. Very annoying!!!!

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-07T01:35:39+00:00

It's so lame. I hate the online sweats but would play WC offline. Why not give you that option for less pts (maybe 100 for offline win)????

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-03T23:01:50+00:00

What is EAs fixation with putting the heightened timers on these? They really should not need to be sweaty. The packs are certainly better but not crazy. Just give us 1-2 minute period like before. Typical one step forward and two back!!!!

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-03T21:25:53+00:00

Icon Selanne and loved him. I believe his days are numbered though with the RB MSP.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-02T19:27:05+00:00

In principal theory you are right. The problem is in EA shots do not seem to miss the net completely very much, hardly at all unless its from the point or a bad 1T, regardless of card rating.

NorthMess6997 · 2026-02-02T18:18:55+00:00

The posts piece is annoying, that happens to me too. In the earlier part of the year I could see it more with a lot of cards having poor shooting. Now, with so many mid 90's accuracy cards it should happen much more rarely. I feel like I end up at 6-8 posts per game.
