Totally agree is mind blowing to think about how much money they blow on the game. I blow 50 a week since I can't play as much as I did before and it really only makes it to where I can make two event cards and if I get lucky I may get one good good pull once every the weeks. So they must spend stupid amount of money
Adding on to your elite edges on dman’s… I also find having elite edges definitely decreases the odds of getting the animation where your defender will “stumble” when a player is stopping and starting. Could all be in my head, but I don’t notice my Makar ever getting crossed up and stumbling.
Yo sleeves quick rant here in reference to the guy you got in an argument with about icon passing I wanted to weigh in on that. I think that if people think it’s a skill gap issue and think it’s easy than they should just use the mechanic easy fix. I’m sorry I like to know for sure where my passes are going and don’t like just passing the puck and basically saying Jesus take the wheel. Glad your procedure went well keep up the good work brother
Hi Sleeves, I’ve been the mouse on the wheel. Since day one, I’ve completed all objectives. What I can share with you is , having all 3 synergies on Colton P and both on Mcdavid is a lot of fun. CP shot hits 104 mph and breaks the glass if he misses the net. And Mcdavid has jets on his feet. Thought I share, since you’ve help me build my team, with your words of wisdom.
I open the daily gift and it was a 85 Sean Monahan super excited then realized it was BND. why don’t they make these players higher overall so I can actually put them in my lineup
Hey Sleeves. I wanted to know if you have heard anything about why EA has not been doing the standard upgradable msp. I remember your under 22 video from NHL 22 where you loved that format. I get it can get stale year after year, but it is a much better system imo. Additionally, the current msp system really hurts cards’ value. Because 81s are the cards to get, many 82s and 83s are the same value as those 81s. I believe this is a serious issue with the reward system for those players who have no interest in a current event and just want coins. If they had the upgradable msps, each card would have its own set value that would remain pretty constant throughout the year. Love the content
Sometimes I notice it will show my lines are drained when they aren't actually. My least favorite thing is when I see 5 wingers on the ice and no matter what d pair I select more wingers come out.
for hitting i find the big adjustment this year compared to past is when you wind it up with the right stick like a slap shot. release the hit same way you would a 1T as in before the puck actaully reached the stick for the shot. I release the hit 1-2 steps before reaching the opponent. havent had issues hitting in d2 and champs this way
Icon pairing is back!! Just played my first game this afternoon and saw it was back, kinda played worse at first as I forgot how to play right with it.
How sure are we that EA doesn't have these packs on timers where the odds fluctuate during the day? I did 10 of the 1 XP collectible base packs again this morning (around 9am cst) and started on fire, with 5 out of 6 being 75+, including one 82. The last 4 cooled off, but I still finished at 6 out of 10 at 75+. Always makes me wonder if EA has maybe 1 hour "juiced" periods randomly throughout the day.
Hi Sleeves, Question: Will I be able to trade in cards that are upgraded with tokens? or will I have to take the tokens off the card to put it into a set. For example I have Off the Charts Crosby upgraded to 86 with tokens. Will I be able to put him into a set at 86 or have to downgrade him to 81 to put him into a set?
Thank you for the relatively clear recommendation/guidelines on making that Frozen Forced McDavid. I was on the fence but will for sure be building him by the event end.
I passed on on a couple events prior due to lack of time and had enough to make McDavid and Bedard. Like you’ve been saying mcdavid is unreal and will make the lineup for a while. However the Bedard feels BRUTALLY slow and weak in skating. I found putting him on 4th line and saving him for a guaranteed offensive zone draw where i can at least get a shot off with him is the best place for that card. Might just be me. But other than setting him up for a shot, his card is nothing special.
I’m also strongly debating being done with chara but as a die hard bruins guy every time I smoke a 1 timer with him it feels extra sweet. Brings me back to 2011 lol. But he’s so painfully slow and I’ve been struggling to connect on hugs as well
Line up Question: Im closing on getting Hedman, but my D is: Fantasy Keller - 88 Seider 86 Jay Bo - 88 Montour Fantasy Ekholm - 87 Faber Where should I put him. I would love to have both fantasy cards in my lineup, but Jay Bo is by far the best Dman I have. There is an option to play 2 lefties and use Faber or Seider towards other Frozen MSPs, but I dont know, or should I replace Ekholm for now and get him back instead of Jay Bo later when Ekholm scores some. Also if I keep Ekholm and replace Jay Bo/Faber, I will have accuracy shooting synergy activated. Dont know what to do :D
Bedard is not worth it. Played for 20 games and I count score with him. I traded him in for mcdavid and he’s been a 2-3 point per game player for me now. Honestly my barzal and celebrini cards played way better then bedard. I usually like bedard, like last year, but I’ve had both his cards this year and they just don’t work for me
Anyone using Skill Stick Control I urge you to track your opponent of what control they are using. You can confidently mark them as a TC user when they glide back into their end pulling off a line change, obviously L2 hip checks. While Server can be an issue, glaringly TC has a significant TILT versus SS control. Here are some stats from this year (I did this in '24 from about week 19 onwards) from Rivals: Versus TC: 74-112-17 Versus SS: 105-23-8 What becomes obvious is how slow and clueless your team becomes, or you cannot get a loose puck, goalie cannot control a rebound or make a basic save. You will notice that your team energy, all four lines, will be dead by the 10 minute mark. I don't know why this is in the game, I haven't watched a replay of a game to study it. It's possible that the opponent is landing L2 hits after the puck is gone, thus, draining energy of that player? And please, it's not a 'Skill Gap' to have your team be complete incoherent and allergic to loose pucks. BTW, Frozen Bedard it really bad. Gets hit once and he's done for the period.
I've decided I don't give two flying shitz about what division I'm in. If I go from D2 to D6 don't care. As soon, as I'm skating in mud from the TC TILT just going to quit. Why waste 20 minutes being irritated.
Hey sleeves, are power up icons really worth it this year? I would like to build Niedermayer for my team since I’m a devils fan but I really doubt he is worth the price. Thanks mate!
Hey Sleeves, I have a bug fix request of sorts since you have a line to the developers. I built the xfactor McDavid about two days before this event started, and I noticed that the animated cards don't show the animation when they score. This can't be the intended way these work, otherwise they only animate when you highlight them in your lineup screen which is beyond useless. Same is for the gold Jack Hughes, when they score the card that pops up has no animation
What many folks don't realize is old generation console players were mashed into the next gen console population of players since EA didnt release NHL 25 on old gen. There's a bunch of div 1, 2, and 3 players from old gen that came to next gen this year. If you were div 3 last year you're likely div 4 this year. Just accept it, relax, enjoy one div worse from now on
@MikeD-lr3ev EA canceled NHL 25 for PS4 and XBOX One so that they could beef up the graphics and its easier/cheaper to maintain one version of the game. Last year in NHL 24 I had the game for PS4, PS5, and XBOX series X and I was Div 3 on every console.. words the end of the year I made Div 2 on PS4. I LOVED how PS4 version played. It was crisp and fast. This year I have NHL 25 for XBOX Series X and PS5 and im Div 4 on both. Everyone is having a hard time mentally adjusting to being one division worse and I think it's because they are blaming it on themselves...
hey sleeves. if we don't do the the set on any day will we be a day behind or do they reset to whatever day it is. the reason i ask this is because you tweeted that you pulled a pui after 3pm on Sunday when the pui icon daily gift was for saturday.
Hi sleeves!! I made mcdavid from the event. Im still on his Xfactor got almost 3 captains but I dont have ressource to do it right now. Im glad to have mcdavid now and by the time I want to change him I will have is Xfactor done. I have Wayne and mario holo and on the way to make Orr. My point is make him now and continue to grind for is Xfactor
Lineup question I already made Morgan Reilly should I make bedard to make mcdavid or just keep the 2 My team is 87Eichel 86Crosby 87kutcherov 86Gautheir 85monahan 86Hughes 85Liane 86zib 85McCann 85Robataille 84trocheck 85peterka 87Faber 88Reilly 86Boyle 87montour 86Salming 84ghule Thanks Sleeves love the vids keep up the good work
My first line is 88 bedard, next gen celly, and base mcdavid. The 89 mcdavid is tempting but idk if i want to make him unless i can also remake bedard.
Im 6 XF away from finishing off XF mcdavid, but i made his MSP so i can slow play it and use my resources wisely and finish off some PUI i want Sundin, and one of Lemieux/gretzky, and Im only making one vintage and one modern, after than ill continue towards TB, only Supercharged Id chase for any new releases this year would be Matthews
LINEUP QUESTION i have XF mcdavo after grinding for him! i also made bedsy for the frozen forces event as i loved his next gen card last year. i currently use the hat trick lehner but im very disappointed with him. I have enough for one more MSP as of now do i go for otter or wait for next week?
Hey Sleeves I started up on Black Friday this year… just a question I have played plenty of rivals games 48 or so and I’m div 4, but It won’t show up in my XP pass so I’m not getting any multiplier… and fix?
Hey Sleeves. Glad everything is looking good with you. Enjoyed the morning stream and will make a habit of attending. Suggestion. I know you stream gameplay in the evenings. As a new player still learning, would it be too time consuming to record a skill during a freeskate or something at the end of the streaming day with a view of the controller sort of split screen (like these who should you choose vids)? Just drop that in a youtube series or something? I know a few content creators and how much of a grind this is so understand if that doesn't fit in your workflow. Really appreciate all the content!
Hey sleeves, I made fantasy Carlson and hes playing well irl but unfortunately hes been an assist monster and not so much of a goal scorer. Hes the lowest rated fantasy card right now tied with Geno. This is my first nhl since 22 so this is my first fantasy event. Is EA known for upgrading fantasy cards that are disappointing? Id also like to add, assists should be included in the fantasy even somehow, maybe like every few assists gets an ovr point? Assists are an important part of fantasy hockey too, not just goals.
I have two captains done but just. I’m currently running base McDavid so was thinking I’d upgrade that to FF one while working towards xfactor one which I think will still take a while. Thoughts? Appreciate all your videos and all the best to you for the holidays!
I am one captain away from Mc David, but i ll still make him this event, the thing is that i need 7x factors, and i can make one X factor one week, so i am 7 weeks away from Xfactor Mc david so i ll make this one for now
We need need need a refund of some sort on this game. $80+ for this game to not work since the patch. Game play even offline is lagging beyond being able to play. So disappointing
Hey sleeves, I opened the three 83 + pack with 20 collectables. It gave me 3 83 adam gaudettes… in the same pack. Is this suppose to happen? Because EA help told me it’s just bad pack luck and couldn’t help me
@ I agree, but I would have been happy with the adam gaudette and two of the goalies. At least objectives could have been done. Now I have three adam gaudettes from one pack. I always thought they couldn’t give the same card twice in the same pack?
@@andrewwhiffen3340 I've gotten 3 duplicates in one pack a couple of times this year. Ridiculous. BTW - there are NOT any objectives that require goalies.. Other than complete games
@ yea I’ve been playing hut now for 10 years or so and never got the same card in the same pack before. A first for me. I always thought, when watching videos from TH-camrs, that this shouldn’t happen. I’ve gotten the same player before but different card art, but not the same card exactly. Especially 3 times in one pack…
What's up Sleeves. Lineup Question!!! I'm a Squad Battles, chores gamer. But some of the chores are just a waste of time. Like who really wants a BND card. But let's get into a question that nobody talks about. Your lineup. I find it better when I mix the cards to match the Chemistry. Say a card with SNP, mix it up with a PLY and a TWF. Has anyone else noticed this. Or just me, since Nintendo ICE HOCKEY. I have always played my lineups with chemistry. Imo this should be more apart in HUT. If it's not already in the game. Anyways hope to hear your opinions. Have a safe Festival season everyone. Take care.
Hey Sleeves, got a lineup question here. I'm feeling a little low on Center (Barkov, Hischier sotm, Matthews CA, Koivu team builder). My left wing though is also low (Kucherov XF, Barbashev FF, Hughes CA, and Celebrini). Should I go and make a couple more of the FF players to get McDavid, or should I hold off to make his Hologram? I'm 3 away from my 2nd Captain, and I'm really liking Seider and Otter right now and dont want to trade them in. (RHD is Seider, Makar CA, Montour XP) Keep up the good work brother and hope to get my question answer since i cant be live on twitch due to shift work
Gah these video keep autoplaying on my feed despite unsubbing and not playing HUT for a month. I came up withe a new name for this mode to describe all the garbage timers on the sets and XP path: Hockey Ultimate Timers.
Hey Sleeves, question on Wildcard this week. For the life of me, I can’t get my first line F or D to play in the games. No matter what I do, change team strategy to have those lines start, edit lines and re save the team, nothing works. I’m stuck playing with the 3rd line FWD and 2nd D pairing that were preselected and locked. Pretty frustrating to constantly go up against 89 Christmas Connor and other high ranked cards. Any ideas why or how I can change it? Appreciate your time and all you do for the community. Merry Christmas to you and your family🎅🏼🎄
Hey Sleeves long time lurker in the streams, love the content and got a couple questions for you. Which one would you leave out as a Left Hand Dman, Chara, 86 Cover Hughes, or 87 Gonchar. Would you re roll the modern icons for vintage ones to get closer to Gretzky because the modern icon choices aren’t as strong
Wouldn’t it be better to make TOTY McDavid instead of Forces McDavid. And I don’t know if we can trust the dev team to make a trade in of Forces McDavid towards a TOTY McDavid
Hey Sleeves! Been following content for years now - keep up the great work. I got a quick question, i have enough fodder to either finishing building the XF McDavid, or 2 Power-Up Icons (probably Sundin and Orr - Already made Alfie as my favourite player). What should I go for first Power-Ups or McDavid? I’m planning to continue to slow build these over the entire year so they will all be on my team at some point. Kinda wondering what would be the best move right now. Maybe I hold until Series 2 XFs are out?
LINEUP QUESTION Sleeves, first year hut player but nhl player for more years than I want to admit. Let’s just say I talk strategies with my kid these days. Love the channel and all the help you offer. I’ve got the 87 milestones Mcdavid and the only xfactor captain I have is Kuch. Used almost all my low fodder to get Lidstrom holo (favorite defenseman ever) so charged Mcdavid is not going to be an option. I got Seider from the frozen forces event and won’t be trading him in (die hard wing fan here). Is it worth trying to get 2 more msp cards from this event for Mcdavid being that I already have the 87 milestones version? I’ve got a strong lineup that I like so no real positional need right now Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Sup Sleeves, great content like always ! what do you think about the broken glass animation... i haven't seen a glass break in the post 7 years + also the game is getting better slowly... i think we just have to give EA a chance here. we complained last year cuz its was the same game for years so they changed up and we still complain. keep up the good work luv watch what u do
Do not nerf the point shots.. are they annoying?? 100%.. but there needs a point option to prevent that weak shell D that people love to play.. 1st time in years these shots are going in and they should leave it alone.
Wtf! Why is international arenas still in the game. Played a quarter of my Champs games on those damn ices. I wish WGC was still a thing so you would have a troll using that in a cash Tourny.
Hey sleeves In your opinion do you think they will ever give us the option to differentiate our players stats in rivals vs squad battles? I made the 87 hagel the other week and absolutely hated the card. I then used him as well as other 82-83 TOTW’s for objectives. Now his stats are great on paper, but I know he doesn’t play like it. As someone who loves to see the stats on how their team is doing and improve from there it makes it hard. Maybe they need the resources else where to improve gameplay, but it’s the little things that make the game better. Thanks for everything you do 👍🏻👍🏻
Isn’t that just a scam that they will not fix icon passing but a XP base pack giving out good cards. They’ll change it right away just more and more reason why I’m over this game.
LINEUP QUESTION: I am 3/4 on XF Captains, 7/8 on my last XF Captain, and 29/38 to building the last one. Talk about a tease. I'd like your inputs on which 2 captains I should choose for BND once I make McDavid Notes: Empty spaces are where previous XFs were in my lineup, and Habs players aren't being moved, and I can also build 1 Frozen MSP. 85 Caufield 87 Lemieux 89 XF McDavid 87 Barzal 87 Barkov 86 Hughes 86 Gartner 85 Suzuki 86 Koivu 86 Panarin 84 Johnston EMPTY SPACE (Was XF Kuch) 92 Parayko 86 Hutson 85 Drysdale 85 Walman 83 Weber 84 Guhle 80 Cossa 82 Price
Yeahhhhh….when 87 overall cards don’t make a lineup, those people are not supposed to be watching this channel.
87 makes the first line for me 😭😭
Seriously, everybody throw tomatoes at that guy.
Totally agree is mind blowing to think about how much money they blow on the game. I blow 50 a week since I can't play as much as I did before and it really only makes it to where I can make two event cards and if I get lucky I may get one good good pull once every the weeks. So they must spend stupid amount of money
I have some 87’s not making the lineup, but that’s because other 86/85’s play better
Man the 83s are still making my team lmao
85 over account bound player on Monday
no questions today but big big props on that quality content you putting out on such a regular basis!!
Adding on to your elite edges on dman’s… I also find having elite edges definitely decreases the odds of getting the animation where your defender will “stumble” when a player is stopping and starting. Could all be in my head, but I don’t notice my Makar ever getting crossed up and stumbling.

Hope the procedure yesterday went well Sleeves!
anyone know when the next set of frozen forces players come out? if so can we expect a better defensemen than sieder?
Bonjour from Québec. Quick question : Do you have a ranking video for week 1 MSP?
I think McDavid is ranked #1 🙃
Rod the Bod does deserve an upgraded card. I still use him with PNT Aho (RW) and GB Necas (LW). He is relevant, EA!
I did 4 of the 1 collectable pack today, 83,74,74,78
Hey Sleeves I started up on Black Friday this year… just a question I have played plenty of rivals games 48 or so and I’m div 4, but It won’t show up in my XP pass so I’m not getting any multiplier… and fix?
I’m going for the super charged Mcdavid. Unless the next X factor is Matthew’s
Hey Sleeves. Glad everything is looking good with you. Enjoyed the morning stream and will make a habit of attending.
Suggestion. I know you stream gameplay in the evenings. As a new player still learning, would it be too time consuming to record a skill during a freeskate or something at the end of the streaming day with a view of the controller sort of split screen (like these who should you choose vids)? Just drop that in a youtube series or something? I know a few content creators and how much of a grind this is so understand if that doesn't fit in your workflow. Really appreciate all the content!
Hey sleeves, I made fantasy Carlson and hes playing well irl but unfortunately hes been an assist monster and not so much of a goal scorer. Hes the lowest rated fantasy card right now tied with Geno. This is my first nhl since 22 so this is my first fantasy event. Is EA known for upgrading fantasy cards that are disappointing?
Id also like to add, assists should be included in the fantasy even somehow, maybe like every few assists gets an ovr point? Assists are an important part of fantasy hockey too, not just goals.
I have two captains done but just. I’m currently running base McDavid so was thinking I’d upgrade that to FF one while working towards xfactor one which I think will still take a while. Thoughts? Appreciate all your videos and all the best to you for the holidays!
I am one captain away from Mc David, but i ll still make him this event, the thing is that i need 7x factors, and i can make one X factor one week, so i am 7 weeks away from Xfactor Mc david so i ll make this one for now
We need need need a refund of some sort on this game. $80+ for this game to not work since the patch. Game play even offline is lagging beyond being able to play. So disappointing
Great conten.. longtime fan ... who would u choose for modern icon player
Hey sleeves, I opened the three 83 + pack with 20 collectables. It gave me 3 83 adam gaudettes… in the same pack. Is this suppose to happen? Because EA help told me it’s just bad pack luck and couldn’t help me
There are only 3 83 frozen forces card for week one! And the other 2 are goalies!! So stupid
@ I agree, but I would have been happy with the adam gaudette and two of the goalies. At least objectives could have been done. Now I have three adam gaudettes from one pack. I always thought they couldn’t give the same card twice in the same pack?
@@andrewwhiffen3340 I've gotten 3 duplicates in one pack a couple of times this year. Ridiculous.
BTW - there are NOT any objectives that require goalies.. Other than complete games
@ yea I’ve been playing hut now for 10 years or so and never got the same card in the same pack before. A first for me. I always thought, when watching videos from TH-camrs, that this shouldn’t happen. I’ve gotten the same player before but different card art, but not the same card exactly. Especially 3 times in one pack…
Just happened again. Got Owen tippet 3 times in the same pack. They should be ashamed of themselves.
What's up Sleeves. Lineup Question!!!
I'm a Squad Battles, chores gamer. But some of the chores are just a waste of time. Like who really wants a BND card. But let's get into a question that nobody talks about. Your lineup. I find it better when I mix the cards to match the Chemistry. Say a card with SNP, mix it up with a PLY and a TWF.
Has anyone else noticed this. Or just me, since Nintendo ICE HOCKEY. I have always played my lineups with chemistry. Imo this should be more apart in HUT. If it's not already in the game.
Anyways hope to hear your opinions.
Have a safe Festival season everyone. Take care.
Daily gift today I got 85 Vince Dun im pumped since I started my team not to long ago!
Hey Sleeves, got a lineup question here.
I'm feeling a little low on Center (Barkov, Hischier sotm, Matthews CA, Koivu team builder). My left wing though is also low (Kucherov XF, Barbashev FF, Hughes CA, and Celebrini). Should I go and make a couple more of the FF players to get McDavid, or should I hold off to make his Hologram? I'm 3 away from my 2nd Captain, and I'm really liking Seider and Otter right now and dont want to trade them in. (RHD is Seider, Makar CA, Montour XP)
Keep up the good work brother and hope to get my question answer since i cant be live on twitch due to shift work
Gah these video keep autoplaying on my feed despite unsubbing and not playing HUT for a month. I came up withe a new name for this mode to describe all the garbage timers on the sets and XP path: Hockey Ultimate Timers.
Mad cause bad
@keithorlando1772 yep, so what?
I got an 85 bnd from the daily, r u kidding me. Shld of watched this video first n saved the collectibles , smh
Hey Sleeves, question on Wildcard this week. For the life of me, I can’t get my first line F or D to play in the games. No matter what I do, change team strategy to have those lines start, edit lines and re save the team, nothing works. I’m stuck playing with the 3rd line FWD and 2nd D pairing that were preselected and locked.
Pretty frustrating to constantly go up against 89 Christmas Connor and other high ranked cards. Any ideas why or how I can change it? Appreciate your time and all you do for the community. Merry Christmas to you and your family🎅🏼🎄
Updated strategy video coming soon?
Would you make mcdavid from this event if you plan on making his toty
is it worth it to get 89 mcdavid if I am 2 captains away if I trade in my collection id be 1 and 3/8 away
Rod the Bod christmas champs! calling it
I was the test dummy for today. Gold jerseys, don’t do it lmao
Two days in a row 😂
@nicholasy1218impossible, the set resets at 5pm everyday. He wrote down the comment at 3pm. Tonight is a 85 bnd player.
85 bnd for daily pack today
Hey Sleeves long time lurker in the streams, love the content and got a couple questions for you.
Which one would you leave out as a Left Hand Dman, Chara, 86 Cover Hughes, or 87 Gonchar.
Would you re roll the modern icons for vintage ones to get closer to Gretzky because the modern icon choices aren’t as strong
Hell nah rerolling would be crazy sundin is one of the best center in the game
@ I totally thought he was a vintage icon lol. Fair point probably won’t do that
Wouldn’t it be better to make TOTY McDavid instead of Forces McDavid. And I don’t know if we can trust the dev team to make a trade in of Forces McDavid towards a TOTY McDavid
Hey Sleeves! Been following content for years now - keep up the great work.
I got a quick question, i have enough fodder to either finishing building the XF McDavid, or 2 Power-Up Icons (probably Sundin and Orr - Already made Alfie as my favourite player). What should I go for first Power-Ups or McDavid? I’m planning to continue to slow build these over the entire year so they will all be on my team at some point. Kinda wondering what would be the best move right now. Maybe I hold until Series 2 XFs are out?
Deffffinitely got 2 gold jerseys...
LINEUP QUESTION
Sleeves, first year hut player but nhl player for more years than I want to admit. Let’s just say I talk strategies with my kid these days. Love the channel and all the help you offer.
I’ve got the 87 milestones Mcdavid and the only xfactor captain I have is Kuch. Used almost all my low fodder to get Lidstrom holo (favorite defenseman ever) so charged Mcdavid is not going to be an option. I got Seider from the frozen forces event and won’t be trading him in (die hard wing fan here). Is it worth trying to get 2 more msp cards from this event for Mcdavid being that I already have the 87 milestones version? I’ve got a strong lineup that I like so no real positional need right now
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Sup Sleeves, great content like always ! what do you think about the broken glass animation... i haven't seen a glass break in the post 7 years +
also the game is getting better slowly... i think we just have to give EA a chance here. we complained last year cuz its was the same game for years so they changed up and we still complain. keep up the good work luv watch what u do
Do not nerf the point shots.. are they annoying?? 100%.. but there needs a point option to prevent that weak shell D that people love to play.. 1st time in years these shots are going in and they should leave it alone.
Just make a hut team on an alt account and open daily there.
I like the idea Il definitely be doing
Just a little bit of big brain thinking😂
Anyone know today’s daily gift?
I just pulled a 85 BND
85 BND
@ ya they all bnd. Pulled an 85 also
Sorry but are they just like random 85 bnds or is it a certain card?
@Kriptinite18 I think so, mine was 85 pronger super natural
Sleeves for sciences!!! 🎉🎉
Hey Sleeves!
Wtf! Why is international arenas still in the game. Played a quarter of my Champs games on those damn ices.
I wish WGC was still a thing so you would have a troll using that in a cash Tourny.
Hey sleeves
In your opinion do you think they will ever give us the option to differentiate our players stats in rivals vs squad battles? I made the 87 hagel the other week and absolutely hated the card. I then used him as well as other 82-83 TOTW’s for objectives. Now his stats are great on paper, but I know he doesn’t play like it. As someone who loves to see the stats on how their team is doing and improve from there it makes it hard. Maybe they need the resources else where to improve gameplay, but it’s the little things that make the game better. Thanks for everything you do 👍🏻👍🏻
The so called "operation" he had, was he had his little friends down low become useless :) Congrats buddy :)
Isn’t that just a scam that they will not fix icon passing but a XP base pack giving out good cards. They’ll change it right away just more and more reason why I’m over this game.
