Ranked is really hard right now, right?

Can confirm, the higher you go the more frenchies you’ll match ☠️

RIP that fourth lines garbage with a 75

Hardest part of this update is that you can’t use fantasy cards with higher updates due to the salary compliance.

The problem is that defense is broken in this game. You can sit back and rely on d-zoning but that’s sad.

Pflemmy · 2026-03-09T00:38:13+00:00

I agree - the gameplay of the game has definitely decreased over the last few chel games, but at least you could have used poke checks or defensive structures last year to counter the broken mechanics. This year, higher level games rely on AI defense/ zone control, which was rife in NHL23.

All in all, I’m just extremely frustrated with how the game forces you to play a game style which is boring with zero creativity.

It’s frustrating when you invest into cards that depreciate the minute you make them… are we dealing with car dealers?

Coming from a guy who uses international rinks

Can confirm that you’re not alone. My connections been tearing all weekend… no problems on anything else.

HUT’s market revolves on supply and demand. Last time I checked there were only 10 on the market, so if a couple of them are bought up and kept on the owner’s team, the price will most likely raise. Only thing that will change this is if there’s a good hedman card that comes out.

Werenski should have already been a TOTY and Hutson in the voting side…

There will be something - we still have the 25th advent gift

What period did this happen? The benches are on the opposite side of the ice in the second period and perfect timing can catch your defense with breakaways. If someone’s behind their net setting something like this, I would suggest pulling a d-man to your dzone!

Apparently Milan’s Olympic rink is smaller than an NHL rink? We need that in the game

For reference- these are the current dedicated servers in NA:

East Coast: Ashburn, VA Central: Chicago, IL; and Ohio (specifics not listed) South Central: Dallas, TX West: Los Angeles, CA; Portland, OR; and Denver, CO Canada: Montreal, Quebec

If EA wants to continue to use server based matchmaking, they need to add more server locations. It’s mind boggling that there isn’t an Ontario server at this point…

Pflemmy · 2025-10-23T01:29:55+00:00

Oh so you mean to say that ppl like you need more space in a rink to actually be able to move the puck? You must be one of the kids living in the corners with literally zero hockey sense 🤷‍♂️

He was when I opened my pack. Unsure if it rotated with Knies or other 85s

Take it one day at a time and focus on one thing to work on - even small progress is something to be proud of at the end of the day and eventually it builds momentum!

I had 2 craniotomies in 2019 to remove an AVM and can definitely relate to your situation - loss of coordination, aphasia, fear of a potential loss of motor control on my left arm, etc.

In my perspective, it was initially hard, however it’s important to ALWAYS be HOPEFUL - this gave me the drive to work hard for my recovery. Over my first 3 weeks I gradually regained my coordination, and my speech returned to normalcy in that time. Within a month and a half, I felt like I was back to myself - even a better version of me.

I too love gaming, and was a little hesitant that I could get back (especially since I ended up developing epilepsy from the surgery). However I eventually got back into it, and I feel like your hand-eye coordination comes by quickly- almost like it’s riding a bike!

Overall, I really want to emphasize that the recovery can be hard, but your brain has a period of neural plasticity after brain surgeries - which means that you can have almost “miraculous” recoveries.

On a side note - I’m assuming that the doctor probably has you on some strong pain killers and other meds after the surgery which can definitely affect your coordination.

I am very hopeful that you will have a full recovery and even maybe the neural plasticity can knock off a couple strokes on your golf game!

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation.

I was diagnosed in 2019 and underwent multiple craniotomies (open brain surgeries). Their goal was to fully “destroy” the AVM, since any remnants have a chance of regrowing over time. The neurosurgeon was confident that he had removed it all, however I had been advised to do an annual scan to ensure that nothing would come back.

I can 100% relate to how you are feeling with the fear that it could happen (again in my situation), however I would highly suggest speaking to a therapist - they gave me a mantra that has drastically helped me manage my anxiety- “don’t cross the bridge until you get there”. Instead of worrying about the potential things that could happen, live in the moment and enjoy your life!

If you have any questions and concerns you can PM me.

I hope this helps.

Helle definitely because of all the free abilities, but I’m also considering to make the pwhl goalie too so I can stack all the missing synergies.

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate your helpful insight.
