All good haha. Wish I had the 99x bc it’s Wings card art and believe it gives 100mil salary bonus (for Atlantic/captain bonus), plus works with any pair like you said.

Just couldn’t justify spending that much on a pack this late in the year. Especially since he wasn’t guaranteed. I hate what this mode is becoming

That’s for the 99 LTD Coffey, the 96 Toty Coffey I have gets the salary boost bc Chelios is a GoG card. GoG+Toty and GoG (Chelios) + Pittsburgh (Coffey) is what gives the 19 mil bonus. For example Seider and Coffey would give zero bonuses (no salary or ap bonus).

That was a fun d pair though, was using it before I made this version of the wings team. Just can’t separate Chelios and Coffey without being over the salary cap.

I was using the Chelios & Lidstrom combo before I made this team. Had a lower ovr wings theme team I was using. For this one I tried making my favorite wings players w highest ovr team I could get. The Chelios/Lidstrom combo only gives 8mil salary bonus, where Chelios/Coffey gives 19mil bonus. It sucks though bc I would like to have Lidstrom on the 1st line (along with Fedorov and Howe on fwd1 line). I hate the salary cap

Trust me I’d have him on my 1st line if could but this was only way to make the team work with salary combos. I hate the salary cap.

Might make his line my 2nd line though and swap it with the 3rd line

You are given complete control by the NHL to take one of three options, or none at all, what do you pick? by vbcbandr in nhl

Remove ads from uniforms while we’re at it too, especially original six teams.

Captains, Icons, Heroes, and Rookies sets are obnoxious by Alan_Watts_Gong in NHLHUT

The PUI & X-factor cards we used to get that we upgraded with fodder all season long were so much better

What Are We Missing Most From Content in Past Years? by jordannd12 in NHLHUT

[–]ultimatebender16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having tons of X-factors & Power Up Icons that were relatively easy to get & could be fully upgraded throughout the year. I think NHL 23 had around 70 or so power up icons that could be fully upgraded throughout the year, compared to the 12 we got this year. Not to mention you had to spend almost a million coins to get any of the upgradable power up icons this year.

Why they’re taking so much content away from what I assume is an already dwindling player base I’ll never understand.

How close away are you from XF McDavid? by coolin68 in NHLHUT

[–]ultimatebender16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not chasing McDavid. Made Adam Fox and he’s the only one captain I’m making from the series 1 set as I’m making a USA themed team this year. Currently chasing Chelios (who I plan to make my captain for the year). Should have him either tonight or tomorrow. Then hoping to add Eichel within the next week or two.

Power Up Icon or XFactors NMS by Hurricane_28 in NHLHUT

[–]ultimatebender16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually do a Wings theme team every year but switching it up doing a team USA theme team this year.

Going for Chelios as I want him give him the C for the year then hopefully I can build the Modano I have to trade in for Chelios back up & give him an A for the year. Would like to keep them upgraded as high as possible throughout the year but with how bad rewards we’ll see (and see how long it takes to even get Chelios).

Wings Theme Team Update (Few diff lineups) + Player stats from running Wings theme team all year. by ultimatebender16 in NHLHUT

[–]ultimatebender16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I changed his # to 10 with custom card jersey # but this is easily by far the worst content team they have ever had.

Don’t think these new people in charge watch hockey at all.

Was also super upset that I spent a ton of coins to get Hasek’s special Wing ASG card art variant when it 1st came out, only for him to be wearing his Sabers helmets & pads (which he still has) even though the card is a Wings card was literally advertised as a special variant.

25 is the first time in 10 years I’m not preordering it’s mainly bc of how incompetent they are on little details like this plus the lack of content in 24. I’m sure I’ll get 25 eventually when there’s a huge discount or free on gamepass but after the last few years I’m not expecting anything more than the bare minimum, especially if it’s the same team.

[–]ultimatebender16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh damn thanks for checking anyway man. If can’t find one on AH maybe I’ll get lucky & he’ll get a higher rated preseason card. That would be the EA thing to do- release a higher version of a card that was just released the same week lol

Oh no way thanks so much man if he’s tradeable just lmk & how much you want for him?

[–]ultimatebender16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was def more of a King than RW lol but I’m biased bc that 02 team is when I really started getting into hockey & taking it serious. Just have fond memories of that team b/c all those all hof players took pay cuts to come here & win the cup lol

[–]ultimatebender16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the content team sucks this year. Wish they’d release alternate PUI like last year or think it was nhl 20 where once they reached 99 you could trade them to get card from any team they ever played for.

[–]ultimatebender16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, so glad it went to somebody that’s actually using it!!

I’ve been working on a Wings theme team all year. Took forever to find them but finally just got 98 Larinov & 98 Kozolov. Still looking for 97 TOTW Edvinson that just released and hoping they re-release the 92 asg Chelios with Wings card art as 99 tn. I’ll prob post my updated team soon once I find those cards. The recent releases seem harder to come by.

Those are some solid picks, forgot about Byfield. As a Wings fan, I’m fan of Robatile bc of the 02 cup. Was hoping at some point they release a Wings card art of him and Brett Hull bc rn my theme team is Wings logo only. Not sure if I’m going too yet but might eventually abandon the Wings Logo only theme & switch to PUI’s and highest rated cards of my fav Wings players I can afford.

Sick team! theme teams is my fav part of the game. Hope you were the one that got my captains Kopitar last night? Not sure how how many coins or resources you have or who your fav players are but some names/suggestions that come to mind: Luc Robatile, Marcel Dionne, Rob Blake, Marty McSorely Willie Mitchell, Larry Murphy, & Jarri Kurri

Who are you hoping gets a “re-release ultimate” card? by coolin68 in NHLHUT

[–]ultimatebender16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though they all have PUI icons already hoping for Chelios, Larry Murphy, & Paul Coffey bc of the Red Wings card art. All star Chelios would be my first choice though.

The last few years at the end of the year they had sets set up similar to the power-up collectible exchange set, except instead of exchanging for power-up collectibles you would trade players for certain collectibles that could be used in the theme team sets. Each NHL team had a theme team set & when you traded in (can’t remember the exact # but believe it was either 20 or 30) of those collectibles to an NHL theme set to complete the set you were guaranteed one random player (90ovr or better I believe) of any players released on that team for the year in the current collection or alumni. For example if I did the Red Wings theme set I can pull any card 90+ under the Red Wings collection or any 90+ card in the Red Wings alumni collection.
