Dude I completely disagree. Doing the moments and all the objectives got me 2x 89 cards and 3x 90 cards. Even maxed out these cards would not be on my lineup anyway. This is EXCELLENT fodder for TOTS this Friday. Of course the random stuff is bonkers. But for people like me that would not use these cards maxed out, I LOVE this even because instead of having a free 94 in my collection... I get 5 cards to trade in for TOTS who would maximize the reward (if they provide 90 OVR trade in set I might even get more than expected). So if you want a specific card... terrible odds... if you really want TOTS cards, excellent stuff.
I made two 88 OVR cards last week and already have enough collectibles and upgrades for two more 88 OVR just from grinding last night. I think I will end up with at least four 88 OVR just this week alone and maybe one or two 89's. This is a gold mine for trade in fodder, probably more lucrative than my weekly pack openings have been lately.
I got so many collectibles from playing and doing Hut Rush, so i decided why not try and make one… then you find out that even with like 75 collectibles it just doesn’t get you anywhere with this type of “building” your card… this makes Destiny 2 weapon grind look like a cakewalk!
I think the psychology behind it is to get someone to upgrade to about 88, which is not difficult. My guess is once a person gets to 88 the "well I came this far, why stop now" mentality kicks in. I tried to get Richard built. I could only get to 90. Even to jump to 90 the odds start going down that you will get the 50 card you need to fill up the next few tiers. I scrounged to get the pack of 30 random 50's. I only pulled out 4 Richards which did not help. No matter how they spin it, it's to force packs on people. The odds are worse than Vegas.
This is what I did. I have to say this week is substantially better than last weeks part of this event. Even if you don’t like any of these player cards, it’s still worth making them and using them all. I found that Hall’s 94 Flashback TD card doesn’t count towards progression. But regardless, you’ll burn through these objectives fast and upgrade these 5 cards pretty quickly. After I was done with all the objectives, 3 out of the 5 player cards I got to 89, one at 88, and one at 87. Only took me 8 SB games + Rush and Moments. I didn’t have to spend any fodder so this was pretty nice and lucrative. If you want free power ups because we didn’t get any last week or this week, well there’s potentially 29 PUCs there for free. This is how last weeks event should have been. Apparently they listened to all the negative feedback and tried to make it better. Gotta get that Xfactor Drew Doughty to 99 lol.
Yeah I’ve been grinding them as well and doing the same. I’m trying to get Kaner high enough to be on the 3rd or 4th line. Hoping he’ll get to 91 at least. I still have two sets of the 30 for 30 to complete so that 60… plus the rerolls. Surely I’ll get to 91 for Kaner.
@@Shroomer47 Yeah I got Kane to 91 on the first week of the event. I won’t be taking him any higher than that tbh. I had the worst rng luck with his collectibles. I would suggest not doing what I did. I spent a ton of my hoarded fodder to get those player cards last week. Only bc I wanted Kane. The four that I didn’t want I got them to 89s and 90s while Kane was only 87 still. I then took those 4 and sacrificed them for more collectibles. Kinda wish I hadn’t of done that bc that would have been easily another 15-20 PUCs at least but I really wanted Kane. He is fast though.
@@christianbrewer1454 I got my Kane to 91 as well as Murphy (go wings!) absolutely free thanks to all the stuff they gave us in week two. I wasn’t going to even bother until I saw how much they were giving us. I had the same experience with the rng for Kane. I’d get like 8-12 stones in every pack. I could have built his msp all the way to 94 surely. I still have enough to do one more 30 rng and that’s it, but I don’t think I’ll get it to 92. And yeah PUCs would have been the better choice for you but hey with the new insane pack they have in the store PUCs are cheap!
Great video as always, Sleeves. For anyone who wants a player, here's what i did to get Roli the goalie to 93. Skipped week 1, but gathered all collectibles and 50ovr players. Did all milestones. Did both rush (week 1 and 2) Finished objectives. Used the five 50ovr player trade in for 3x collectibles. Used the 9 collectibles for the 6 player choice pack. Repeat repeat repeat. Got Roli to a 93. (Into 94 territory, will return once tots over) Was it fun? Kind of. I liked the player, and skipping week 1 gave me a bunch of fodder. If anyone else has a strategy to this, let me know.
I really want that Brandon Montour 😢 and I’ve been checking the auction house since Friday I’ve check over 100 times and there is none for sale…. making him for over a million coins isn’t worth it
Yea I’m actually mad naslund is in this event because I need him for my Canucks team build, I spent like roughly 50 collectible probably more and only got him to lvl 90, I should’ve just got forsberg because I pulled him so many damn times I probably could’ve got him to 92-93
Note to add, this game knows what card you are building!! So frustrating. I had packed a Keith Tkachuk and figured, oh let's see how much we can build him, cause why not. No joke, I had used all the event collectibles I had to open the 30 upgrade item cards and pulled 7 of them. 7/60 cards. I still am trying to build him with the other packs, 6 choose, but again, terrible pack luck here. The most I have gotten out of those 'choose' packs is 2. Am I just incredibly unlucky here? Are others getting similar results?
you can buy 3 different packs with collectibles. a 30/20/10. I had 60 collects so I did two 30 randoms. I was not enough to get Kane or Richards over the 90 hump. Figure a 30 pack, may have at max 7 of the Kane collect. I got about 4 Kane and 4 Richards in a pack. The next 30 pack I got 6 Kane and 1 Richard. You can turn around and trade in 3 50's for one collectible so now you have a long tedious process to go through.
I built Larry Murphy to 89, and will likely get Kaner to a 91 for zero cost other than playing the game. Already cashed in the Hall 85s for PUCs and will cash in the other 85s and 87s for PUCs or TOTS. Although the structure of the event is horrible, the did provide enough resources where you could damn near build a single MSP to 94 by just playing the game.
Awesome content as usual... keep up the great work!! Here's what I'm thinking?? When is EA going to hire u as a content developer for NHL..I think you would turn this game around!!
Trade ins set are very bad. Tkachuk is a must make for me as a Blues fan, but I’ve gotten him to 92 and don’t know if I’ll quite get to 93 or 94. Super fun card though. I’ve made multiple 9 collect choice packs and gotten 1 Tkachuk out of all 12 cards in three rounds which is wild.
Height (and weight for skaters) is SUCH an important stat, that it just blows me away that it's not directly accounted for in the OVR. Like...just scale it and have it invariant like they have Endurance this year (though in hind sight that was a huge mistake). Make 6'9" a 99, and 5'1" say, 75. And then scale the rest. Similarly for weight (but don't include that for goalies). And then weight that appropriately for the OVR (i.e. make it equivalent to say, 5 attributes). Sure that might make it so that you get certain players unusually high OVR considering their skill...but THAT'S WHAT THE GAME SAYS. Besides this is all fantasy hockey anyways. Then they don't have to mess around with tuning things. It's directly accounted for to a significant degree in the card stats. And maybe that still won't work for goalies...but at least it will make you go "hey maybe I can go with a 6'0" goalie" instead of everyone taking Markstrom...and it'd certainly even the playing field especially for the women players. This just seems so EASY and STRAIGHTFORWARD and it doesn't require much additional coding. I really don't get why they don't do it this way. But especially with (I hope) them expanding PWHL support next year, I think this is critical. I desperately wanted to play a women's theme team this year, but it was basically impossible to do.
I’m a caps fan so I hate that I was once again reminded of that Forsberg trade. I hated it back then and I hate it now😂. One of the worst trades ever pulled off. I would like to forget this ever happened lol
I’ll just keep my team how it is. With this event sucking it’s basically shut me off until MLB the show this coming week. I’ll do my champs runs for free packs but that’s about it
Really sucks that my favorite player is in this event (ie. Forsberg). I mean, I would hope he'll get a 95 TOTW or something eventually and that will make this MSP moot, but I do like the card art. I hate that EA had to screw this up so badly.
Following this up, I just did 3 of the "Trade 5 Collectibles Get 5 Random Players" set...and I didn't get a single Forsberg card. 15 "random" cards and not one of them was Forsberg. Every member of the EA NHL dev team needs to punch themselves square in the dick for this event. It is by far the dumbest, most convoluted shit they've ever come up with.
Worst NHL game in a long time. I'll never be able to justify playing HUT/buying this franchise again. They ruined the best sports game with pure greed and not understanding what the players desire.
They are trying to force us to make The’s w/ free collects. The thing is… it’s still damn near impossible to level them up b/c of the random pulls Literally the event would go from worst ever to mid tier if you could make the specific item per player. Whatever I’m gonna end up getting most of them to 87 I guess with the freebies
This is event is just a huge skip if you ask me the worst event ea has ever released
I second your opinion!
Agreed I’m still completing objectives and will upgrade them because they are useful for trade in but definitely not worth using resources for
@@UGAfan12132 Yeah like personally I use the collectibles from HUT Rush for trade in for TOTS
The new 30 collectibles for 30 upgrade players set has made it somewhat doable, still a massive fumble

Them adding each tier of the msp just added 50 86+ OVR card to the player pool. They're trying to devalue the free 86+ pack
3:27 I have Jarome Iginla and Keith Tkachuk on the same line, and there are literally the Bash Brothers
"Card art? 10 out of 10. The master set player, like a 1" Loll

I did get a load of upgrade items via HUT Rush, but still a hard pass. I‘m grinding for the juicy 86+ OVR pack from the Pacific Division.

bro my trade deadline people r only 50 overall and i dont know how to change it
The got the ultimate choice pack too but it’s still a big rng so you can’t pick 6 x of the one you need
I did two of them...ended up with 2 Naslunds. :-(

Thanks for the tips I am working on the 89 concepts.
with all the moments and objectives, you'll get 5 89s and turn a few into 90s. I surprisingly love this event more than I expected.
Is it still possible some how get last weeks trade deadline cards? If i want upgrade my Kane?

Just using the free collectibles to upgrade a card once to get a free 86 is such a pain, i pity anyone trying to make a full 94 lol
Once you get the card bumped up to 89, it's not worth the frustration that this game already causes.

I got forsberg up to 92 for free so far they kinda improved it still pretty dumb though
Pulled forsberg great card
Packed the Naslund in my 86+ pack. Only good thing about this event
I pulled a 91 Tkachuk but can't upgrade him
Cause your supposed to go into sets and trade in the 91 + 19 of his team collectables to get him to 92 etc
Pulled an 89 Forsberg in my 86+ choice pack
