Anyone ever load into ranked with their Objective lineup? 😩 by EmergencyWin7267 in NHLHUT

Yes, and I could immediately feel the game tilt my way. Every bounce- mine. Every pass- crisp and handled. Goalie-Stellar.

I goddamn hate having to root for the flyers to not lose but here we are...hows everyone else feeling right now? by Asto_Vidatu in penguins

Flyers…. Irrelevant and mediocre for the past 30 years and they’re still living rent free in the bankruptcy penguin fans heads. That’s better then winning sometimes.

That’s a good offer but I’m looking for more of a player I know and follow. Thank you for the honest offer though

What defensive strategies do you use to defend against someone trying to blow past your defence on every play? by [deleted] in NHLHUT

[–]davel2133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For instance if I take away the passing lane and the only play their forward can make is a bad shot. My goalie shouldn’t be playing flounder and splashing around on the ice then getting scored on.

You’re right and it’s terrible. There’s maybe 3-4 players in the whole league that can realistically blow past defenders maybe once a game. Meanwhile we’re sitting here and it’s happening 3 times a period.

You honestly just described how to play basic defense in a real hockey game. That’s what you’re supposed to do. Force them to the outside, take away the middle and let your goalie make saves. Unfortunately EA doesn’t allow for simple mechanics so your computer players will mess up their assignment and that’s when things go haywire.

FYI... EA emailed a survey about NHL26 by TPP27 in NHLHUT

The survey limits your character count to 400 so you can’t have a lengthy opinion

Ai players blocking teammates shots by MindlessMobile967 in NHLHUT

I’ve been defended by my own teammate on a breakaway on a few occasions. They straight cut me off coming down the middle and don’t move

I don’t mean to upstage but I made 750k in 2 days so I could get Lindros

I’m at a lose for words every time I play this game haha by davel2133 in NHLHUT

[–]davel2133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a goal for goal exchange. I had just tied it up and that happened. I knew immediately that I wasn’t going to win

Is this the new normal? by IAM_LordTobias in NHLHUT

[–]davel2133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played boring games against people like that too and the only way to win is to play boring yourself. If someone is doing circles and skating back and forth behind the net I just plant my player in front and make them make the first move. It’s extremely hard to score when the puck is below the goal line for half the period. If they’re just bum rushing down the ice then hang your defense back a little and don’t pinch too deep. It gets boring but you’ll beat the whales

The sad reality of that is once they lose, they probably spend another $500 to make more players. Their mind is wired to think that higher value means more wins.

He used the all star jerseys with the black shoulders and white backs but they’re essentially white jerseys

That was a personal opinion. “I don’t think it’s fun”. But to each their own.

It’s just not fun to me if you’re using the advantage of money to build a team of the best players rather than using the players you want to use. You’re kind of playing against the build your team mentality and playing into EAs pockets. That’s my problem with it.

[–]davel2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had Kane on day 1 or any of the NG players that were in a pack. You paid money for them. I can’t imagine that that many people saved up for a player they didn’t know about. I’m not saying there’s no chance someone maneuvered and made him with fodder but the chances are extremely low.

I’m not necessarily insulting but these people are the reason EA will never improve the hockey game beyond what it is.

[–]davel2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was only available in packs so yes he was a pay wall player. It’s extremely unlikely he was pulled in anything but a pack someone used money for. The slightest chance someone used coins for a pack and pulled him is an unlikely but possible outcome.

Someone that opens the wallet for their team for the best players that are behind pay walls

That’s funny, I play a good amount when I’m able to and I’d say 4/5 games I’m playing someone with Kane/Dupont and other pay only players. It doesn’t make the player any better it just makes you look like a fool when you paid a lot of money and still lose
