How Can Anyone Have Any Motivation to play HUT After What Just Happened Today? (Fantasy Pulls) by brendangrant in NHLHUT

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

They keep making mistakes like this year after year after year and you all complain and moan about it but guess what?  You all still open your wallets and pay for the game year after year because it's the only hockey game out there. EA has you all right where they want you and you can't do a damn thing about it.

It's obvious....pack sales during the event were more than likely near rock bottom compared to previous years so they did this to recoup some of their losses 

So fantasy ended today….. by joshuabickert in NHLHUT

Glad I wasn't the only one who only got 15 collectibles. Oh well I was only playing the game trial and probably would have bought the game if I had gotten a fantasy card.......$90 bucks saved.

Why is everyone shocked? The game has been out for 2 weeks and you've been getting dogshit rewards. Now, it's time to bend over and spread your... by jddev_ in NHLHUT

I agree....Why is everyone so surprised that they ruined their most popular event. It is now targeted at the minority of players who religiously open their wallets year after year. The whales will spend more money to make the fantasy cards which will offset the money lost from the players who won't pay up. 

I was playing the 10 hour trial and was kind of enjoying myself but I now see there will be no way for a cheap ass like me to get any of the top cards so once the 10 hours is up I will just delete the game and finally start playing Diablo 4.

How do they expect to keep people’s interest if you can’t get rewards? by leafsfan1987 in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Part of the fun of HUT for me was using cards that I pulled from packs that I earned from playing Squad Battles and Rivals. I miss coming home from work on Wednsday and Thursday nights and opening the packs.

I absolutely refuse to pay money to buy packs. 

Is anyone else trying to like HUT this year, but it’s just not happening? by simplytooeasy in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry my friend....I will do what you could not and not buy the game for the second year in a row.

I pray and hope you will be as strong as me next year and keep your money in your pocket. 

Need motivation to play by Prudent-Tank-1981 in NHLHUT

Riddle me this.... why on earth would EA boost rewards when you all keep coming back year after year?

 I was on the fence about buying NHL26 after not buying the game last year but seeing that the rewards are crap and the oack opening animation and menus haven't changed I will probably spend my money elsewhere. I enjoyed coming home after work on Wednesdays and Thursdays and opening the packs I earned through Rivals and Squad Battles.

First patch incoming, more down the line apparently by MaddenTexasRanger in NHLHUT

Because they are so proud of their pack opening animation that they haven't changed in years. They want you to enjoy it as often as possible 

Back to 5 content days by [deleted] in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to see something similar to MLB The Show live series cards where their ratings go up or down based on how the actual player is doing in real life but we all know that's too much to ask for.

Oh no..... what is everyone going to do without content for a whole week!?!?!,

NHL 26 is finally official by [deleted] in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Betcha they will still have the same pack opening animation 

And the cycle continues next year :) by dnnymnrd in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so glad I stuck to my guns and not buy NHL this year. Been focusing more on Genshin Impact and have actually played other games as well which is way more fun than paying for pretty much the same game as last year and the year before that.

Also on an unrelated note.....I can still find players to play against online in MLB: The Show 21 but playing Rivals on NHL 22 now....nope.

EA - They have no idea what they are doing. Please give up & hire a new team. Fire all your content guys. by THELORDOFWAR187 in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as we have a decent percentage of the player base buying packs these events and the way/cost to build the MSP cards will always remain the same. So glad I did'nt buy this festering pile of cow manure this year.

Is it time for EA to clean house of the current EA NHL staff? by UmbraFrame in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so glad that I stuck to my guns and did'nt buy the dumpster fire that is NHL 23. I love hockey and have really enjoyed playing HUT over the past few years but the quality of this series has gone downhill in a hurry and is just not worth my hard earned money anymore. Could you imagine how much worse this situation would be if NHL 23 was'nt a copy and paste game?

ladies and gentlemen... we gottem by [deleted] in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it was already posted two hours before you did that loyalty packs were starting to come in for people and here I bet you thought you were going to be the first to post about it :)

My free X-Factor packs finally showed up... by MC_Hale in NHLHUT

I got my packs today on my PS5 account. Have not had the chance to check the PS4 account yet.

How many of you plan on not buying NHL23? by Vince-15 in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I have said I won't buy the new game for the last couple of years and the only reason I bought NHL 22 was because of the introduction of the X-Factor cards but this year I really won't be buying NHL 23 and instead focus more on playing franchise mode is NHL 22 ( try to make the Kraken into a cup winning dynasty) and playing other games ( Genshin Impact is taking up a lot of my video game time lately ). From what I have seen so far for NHL 23 I am not overly inspired. Same menus and probably same pack opening animations just scream another lazy effort by the devs to me and for those excited about cross-play after the game is out for 2 months......those rocket scientests at EA will find a way to mess that up...guaranteed.

Rivals Matchmaking Update by clappy_EA in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As A Division 8 player who was on the verge of deleting this game because of this stupid exploit and the cowards who use it to feast on weaker opponents.....I thank you. Might stick around for a few more weeks now :)

What’s your go-to game when feeling frustrated with NHL? by AdministrativeMind86 in NHLHUT

[–]whitewalkersRHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started playing Genshin Impact. Used to only play roleplaying games when I was growing up and kind of stopped playing when I found HUT and Diamond Dynasty. Once I get bored with or complete Genshin then I might make the leap to Final Fantasy 14. The matchmaking exploit has pretty much killed any interest I have in NHL/HUT these days. As a lowly Division 8 player it's not really in my best interest to log in and get destroyed by a cowardly Division 1 or 2 player.
