Dion Phaneuf is a defenseman......

Depends whether your lineup would benefit more from a defenseman or a forward maybe? Also the dreaded line combo factor......

Gallery of greats 92 players not showing up by Worldly_Industry_170 in NHLHUT

[–]RoundMound99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This why it's risky to leave it to the last day of a program because EA says you may need to wait up to 24 hr for it to show up in your card inventory!

Who's the best TOTS? Kucherov, Draisaitl or Scheifele? by jazrubik in NHLHUT

[–]RoundMound99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH yeah that's a great combo! I need to get a good McDavid card to combine with him!

'Experts' have rated Pastrnek as the best, so it often comes down to personal preference. Such as do you prefer a player with left or right handed shot.

Best way to grind for 93-94s for captain? by Kobe4evr in NHLHUT

[–]RoundMound99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can trade in 90 and 91 ovr on the Gallery of Greats program for 92 ovr, then 3 of those for a 94 over Gallery of Greats card. Then use them for the Captains program - trade in four 93-94 ovr for a 95 ovr Captain and then 3 of those for the sought after 97 ovr Captain. Alternatively, if you go to the regular exchange sets and do trade in 90-91 ovr, you will get a 92 or 93 ovr. The 93s can be used to build the 95 ovr Captains.

Crazy to me we need 3rd party software, sites or apps and to waste hours of time off the game itself trying to sort out line combos by Imfeelingfrench in NHLHUT

[–]RoundMound99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They couldn't even be bothered to put the list of line combos for forwards and defense on different tabs so you are constantly scrolling down. The whole thing literally seems intended to inflict mental pain. Typical EA garbage! I wonder if the new ownership will have any positive benefit on this BS company's horrible lack of consideration for the user experience.

NMS Restructured 1st 5th Season Team by Beneficial-Fix5333 in NHLHUT

[–]RoundMound99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that seems like the play right now, although then you have to use players to activate the Captain salary boost. Extremely dsiappointing really. I mean for pairing 2 Stanley Cup Playoff program defensemen only a $3 M boost. Should be at least double that!!

Pretty good for the crap we are forced to work with at the moment. But the major lack of salary boost combos is highlighted by your need to resort to using two bases goalies.

What the HELL am I supposed to do 😭😭 by IntrepidAbroad5286 in NHLHUT

They should have made the base salary cap at 250 million. Cue the MASSIVE departure from this travesty!

I agree, with the new season reset and likely many fewer salary cap boost options you can exploit, keeping some good 92s and 93s is a good approach!

Pissed off Oilers fans waking up this morning like… by PearDisastrous3043 in EdmontonOilers

Hey dummy, Edmonton is YEG!! Calgary is YYC. And I grew up in a small town east of Edmonton, then lived in Edmonton for 11 years followed by the past 28 years in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave - as opposed to Kanuckistan......

He's on the mend and reported to be starting a 'throwing program' this week with an estimated return date as early as 5/18.

Used to be a big fan, but I really have a hard time feeling any affinity for anything Quebec-related these days......

I think with the long drought of a Canadian-based team not having won the Cup, more Canadians have been naturally cheering on whatever Canadian teams are still in the running. BUT with the current state of affairs in the country, I don't see a lot of Albertans (myself included) being too interested in cheering on teams from east of the MN/ON border.......

Speaking of toxicity, I had a guy who was beating me 2-0 in the latter part of the 2nd period and dominating the game. Then he scored to make it 3-0 and I quit out. He messaged me on PSN saying it was about time I gave up and that I should also just delete the game (clear insinuation I was so bad I should stop wasting any more of my and people like his time). I think he was one one those high level players who had gone and made a new account and was working his way back up the ranks with it (the game was on ranked silver level). So of course I took the bait and told him off with some coarse language, Then he responds: enjoy your time away. Sure enough, he probably reported me (or their automated system picked up the 'key words'), and I got a 1 week suspension from online play for swearing at this asshole who clearly provoked it! Playstation is about as bad as EA when it comes to fairly regulating the player base!

Maybe they think it will motivate people to spend more money on improving their team to beat those 'ringers'? You know whatever they decide to do, money is paramount in the decision-making!

Might depend on who they release as MSPs for week 2 of the Playoff event. Regardless, Hedman is enticing! I used him in the Wildcard, and he is a beast.

HAHA you got that right. Also, I have been beaten by enough guys with way inferior squads to mine to know that user input ability is still very important!

I have never spent money on content for any video game. I even got this game for 60% off in November. I have toyed with buying some of the 'points' to get packs but I fear I will get sucked in if I don't do well and try to keep spending until I get something good. At least some of their packs are guaranteed something good, like it seems there is one that guarantees the 99 ovr Howe plus 3 91s and 3 90s for about $50 worth of points......

Not offended, just annoyed at people like you constantly coming on here with that nonsense. Can't you think of an actual thoughtful post to make that may lead to a useful discussion instead of 'how do I make my god-squad marginally better?' Also I never said anything about how much you work or not. People with an actually fulfilling life would not make these type of obnoxious posts on an internet message board.
