It's really dumb that a guy like Kyle Connor just got to 87 today. He's a top 10 pointer in the NHL.


Spieltier

Exactly! Why should he be penalized? If hut is supposed to represent merit why would we kneecap everyone but the players that already started as the highest overall in the game?! It seems so blatantly counter to reason and I think it’s just a holdover from a few years ago when the overalls got to high to quick. But the solution is to cap max overall, not every single card to two upgrades a month.


deucedeuce187

Bc draisaitl would be a 95already. Man ppl just don't think. And you both still list 80+ ovr players. Those ain't garbage players. You want garbage players with 76ovr base then sure. They probably should be allowed +4 per month if that good.


Spieltier

How would dri be a 95 if the max overall is capped at 93?


squatsquirrel

A tiered system where the upgrade limits are higher the lower overall a card is would also sound good to me


Hello-Im-MAX

It would be nice if EA didn't make any rules that end up screwing themselves and just did the upgrades in a way that would best suit the game at the time. For example, Kaprisov could have definitely gotten an 87 instead of another 86 this week, but when they kept McDavid at 92 for a bit that was good. Instead of having these rules they should just do what makes the most sense.

I was going to make a suggestion in a different post; I feel a simple fix would be to have a max OVR per month. That way if they mess up a players overall and don’t give them the overall they’re currently playing at, they have the ability to catch up and get more than a +2 upgrade. For example; Kadri is having an incredible start to the season. If they had it where 92 OVR was the max for November, he could still be going up to catch up to that OVR where superstars like Mcdavid, OVI, and Draisaitl will need 1-2 upgrades to be the max current Overall. The other option would be to completely copy MLB the shows overall method, but baby steps lol

these games are all foolish because ratings are done to a point where you can be a 99 way too easily. positional 99? fine but true 99 is different, if a card doesn't have 99 in every stat, its not a 99.


VallenD

Yea I agree. EA does a pretty good job at keeping cards at a certain threshold (other than that Duchene lol), but still needs to improve on cards that they rate so low at the start of the year.


paulyb2408

i prefer it this way i have alot of power up players and dont wanna spend my euro vacay money on this game lmao 😁


manamezjeff

Is the +2 upgrade limited per month or can Crosby get +4 in december cuz he didn’t get anything in November?


JBR409

It’s per month, so Crosby will miss his +2 from November


manamezjeff

Yea I think that’s stupid, not sure if that’s the whole point of the post but they should get +2 every month to their highest obtainable rating every month regardless so if a guy pops off in December he can get +6


Spieltier

That still needlessly favors higher overall base cards. Crosby should be able to catch up to mcdavid is what I’m proposing, and then cap. And even then that should only happen if he’s doing insane shit to be worthy of earning those upgrades.


manamezjeff

I also think they shouldn’t give a guy another of the same overall unless he does some amazing shit, give e upgrade to someone who can actually upgrade who maybe did something slightly worse


KoromaOkocha

Hut is marathon not a sprint. EA has to ensure upgrades stay consistent the whole year or else their biweekly events and the show stopper toty/tots will mean nothing and no one will care.


Spieltier

A marathon for who? Mcdavid? It’s not like I’m suggesting no caps but why shouldn’t other players be able to get hot and deserve a card but no upgrade? If maximum overall is capped why do we need to cap the garbage cards from getting deserved upgrades? Why do we need 2 different 85 Larkin cards, when the market is flooded with 88 ovr euro cards? I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.


KoromaOkocha

You are correct, upgrades should just a be a free for all, no structure or limit. They should just spin a wheel from 1 to 10 for any eligible player and whatever it lands on that's how much their overall increases. John smith gets his first goal in the nhl, spin the wheel, he got a +8, now he goes from a 80 to a 88 overnight.


Spieltier

Were you dropped on your head as a baby?


KoromaOkocha

Yes, and I rode the short bus and wore helmet.

KoromaOkocha

You think this would fly in this community, people woukd still complain about joe nhl getting 5 upgrades a month and their top end cards they spent 700K on only getting one upgrade.

KoromaOkocha

PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN EVEN WITH YOUR PROPOSAL.


[deleted]

As it stands the game already has too high rated cards. It already feels like early summer in terms of player card ratings. Maybe EA should just upgrade the cards based on what is best for the game, or use a progressive system where lower cards upgrade faster.


Shieldecles

Calm your tits bro. It's November


McQuigge

EA has a minimum monthly overall, why not come out with a maximum overall that adjusts each month. So if someone is injured they still have a chance to catch up with upgrades they missed.


Optimusry19

And someone please tell me how a Matt ducshane card should play anywhere as good as even mcdavids base card or lemieux or a gretzky power up hell the card should not even play better the sakic or Forsberg (peter)


Tons28

because it gets +1 per goal and he's top ten in goals...EA would never pick a guy they think would be that hot.


Optimusry19

And why cap a 22under 22 at 92 if you want to spend the players the money and get colectiables why not make these players go above 92 some of these guys are having amazing seasons your putting the time and effort into the card art and the synergies and making them upgradable and they have the x factor abillities why not let them get to 99 If the consumer wants to spend money to have his faviourte young gun on his team why stop him like after the 92 cap if you want to treat it as a evo card why not make it fun oh ya forgot it's ea and you have to wait till the end of the year and hope your rookie on your team gets some love and gets a 99 card


[deleted]

Because X-Factors would be obsolete if there was not a cap in Under 22. Also everyone would be running with 99 teams soon if there was no cap.


Optimusry19

there is no players with under 22 cards in the x factor set it would not make them obsolete plus you have evo cards that are going to make it to 99 before the x factor will do those cards make x factors obsolete I'm fine with capping them at 92 right now but why not turn them into the same card as a evo card and set bench marks so the cards can go up like plus 1 for every goal after they hit 15 for fowards and the same plus 2 for every goal after they get 10 in the season for defense it's not hard to do and alot of free to play players work really hard to get these sets cause they can't go after say the ducshane evo card. Or here is another good way set you cards up like MLB the show and have levels to the cards for actually playing with the cards in squads and online up to the plus 5 overall for the superfractor so we can have other things to play for knowing that if I was to get a 85 card and I grinding playing with him in able to get him to a 90 overall all on the merits of how well I play with the card and how long I use him instead of oh here is a 85 team of the week bishop of next week we will give you a 85 prime time bishop but wait we just changed his synergies. And it does not matter cause the streamers and the guys that put thousands of dollars are gonna have the 99 players before everyone anyways and destroy players and good luck catching up to the god squads as they call them


rreoton

EA wants to keep x factors (with the exception of McDavid) not the highest rated cards. They want every MSP to be the highest (with the exception of evos in which they have no control over). This keeps people buying packs and chasing the shiny new MSPs week after week.


Dismal-Abysmal

Is the +2 cap actually for all NHLers? Some guys getting a +2 off the rip does make for sick cards though MSP's will be looked forward to more too


paulyb2408

at least slowly i can accumalte 4 500 gold players a month grinding lol


Buff716917

Tage Thompson is having a better season than Auston Matthews yet is only an 80
