@@DinoKrista no, it’s not broken. They’re not gonna feed u easier matchups to get your 10 wins… it’s luck of the draw, who’s online, what your rank is, etc
@ It is because the skill base matchmaking should match you with same win / loss players not all the way around. The more you win the harder games get and that’s why going 20:0 is hard. I never said they should feed me easy opponents but if someone lose 10 games on a row they should never face someone who won 10 in a row in game 11. Skill based matchmaking isn’t luck
Love that you got the 10 wins!!! You are right about the matchmaking being off. I was 7-7 (worst start for me for years) won 6 straight, finished 13-7, made zero sense
I am div 4. Just kept getting matched in Champs with whales with every chase card and loaded with MSPs that were way better than me. I ended up only getting 6 wins and I didn't even bother finishing the last few games because mathematically my chances of getting to 10 were eliminated. In NHL 24 I could get 10-12 wins easily. I wasted all week trying to qualify for Champs, only to get nothing out of it. They need to go back to collectibles and set rewards rather than wins with static rewards. It was such a waste of time I am not going to play HUT anymore. The pack rewards are so poor that not getting the stupid card means I just wasted a bunch of my time for NOTHING. There is no video game I play in my entire library where I invest 10-15 hours of my week and get nothing for it. This was such a demoralizing experience that my desire to click on the mode from the main menu has evaporated entirely. Fuck you, EA. Make a better game.
This weekend was the hardest it ever was, everyone was playing the champs and chased the best centre in game, I usually get 7/9 wins this year when it was 9 or 11 last week. I understand the frustration but I find that this year isn’t hard for people who spend loads of time in the game as you can get one MSP each week for free and loads of coins to make X factor captains or other good cards
@DinoKrista If there were more people, then that should have created a better matchmaking pool. Instead, I just got steamrolled most games by soft goals and 1ts. To all the people who got a free win from playing me, you're welcome.
@Lungz1344 I can grind offline to get 1 msp per event without having to buy packs (spend money). You're missing the point. These people have 3-4 MSPs from recent events. They are clearly spending money. I am not willing to do that, therefore, fuck this game. Fuck your "skill issue" critique. Nobody cares. I already acknowledged the skill part of it. I DON'T CARE if you think I suck at the game. I am better than the average player. I've been playing this game for more than a decade. I made video games for a living, I can see it from both the player and dev side of things. HUT is a brutal mode that combines psychological tricks and random number generator nonsense and horrible matchmaking to punish the player. Take your "skill issue" nonsense and troll elsewhere.
@ I’m not a troll and I didn’t say you suck, I’ve spent 0$ and still have my 4600 pre order points… grind offline and do all challenges and objectives and you can get MSPs no problem. Having a good team doesn’t make you a good player… plus the cards they give away for free are good enough to compete. Stop complaining and focus on what u need to do rather than thinking the answer is to hand out cards to those who have trouble. I’ve literally built Matthews from cover event, Jagr/MacKinnon/Chara from supernatural, J Bo from off the charts, plus there’s the free Panarin objectives, 87 Eichel, weekly moment players, Hut champs players, etc etc etc Literally u get so many free cards and players it’s impossible not to make a good team. Oh and I’m sitting on 1.7 million coins, without playing the market. Packs are trash dude, most good players don’t even buy packs as they’re not worth it.
I went 10-6 but it was Sunday at midnight had to get ip at 530.And wasn't worth grinding for some crap packs.So I started 4 straight games and quit after 30 seconds to give other people a shot at joe.
Another amazing video, Krista! Your content always brings a smile and brightens the day. Keep up the incredible work-you’re on your way to great things! 💙
@@DinoKrista Of course I am always looking forward to my hopefully Dailyish Dose of Dino. Also yes I feel like I had a couple of games in Champs where the matchmaking was way off.
For me champs I was very unlucky. I mean I was 9-8 then when I was about to finish my last 3 games, it said ”results avaliable soon” meaning the time for playing champs had ended! I was so mad and didnt know this, I thought it would end in like tuesday-wednesday but it ended today like 5h ago.. so goodbye Joe for me..
Damm, it’s because it starts at different time now as well. There are timers all over the screen when you enter champs but it always ends on Monday morning. That’s why I try and do my all games on Saturday and Sunday
Hey Dino krista wouldn’t it be cool if we could meet? I know we can’t but it would still be cool. Thank you for being awsome as always and enjoy not doing school lol😂
Jack eichel's just like every other card is not even that special, I believe in hut Champs I can play against anyone that is in hut Champs no matter their division no matter their rank. I can't believe people still can't win without doing the skill-based one t
Eichel is good for me and plays great. Champs always had skill based matchmaking except this year. One T is the same as cross crease last year, it’s in the game so people will use it.
@DinoKrista yeah it just shows mad lack of skill if that's what people go to is the skill bases 1 t, and like I said when I go into hut champs, I expect that I could play the best person that got a champ collectible or I could play the worst person that got a champs collectible, so that way I don't even care about skill-based matchmaking a lot of people just use sbmm as an excuse in a lot of games
That’s my experience every week and this week I was just lucky with one breakaway and it gave me win number 10 but I was matching so many people who should not be my opponents for sure
@@DinoKristait’s literally hut champs, it’s open division… you’re not gonna play low division players because you’re low division lol it’s supposed to be hard. HUT Champs not HUT Casuals. Focus on getting better, defensive strategies, etc.
Champs matchmaking works that if you are 2-8 you are not matching 8-2, the first 3 placement games are open matchmaking but after it’s not the same. The more you win the harder opponents you face, not like in Rivals where every game is same skill level
@@DinoKrista it’s open division, of course as you win more you’ll face harder opponents because people with more wins and higher rank in hut champs are typically better players. Just because you’re 2-8 does not guarantee you’re gonna face someone who’s 2-8, yes you’ll get a lower ranked match but if he’s 2-1 and you’re 2-8 you both still have 2 wins and are ranked closely. As a D4 player are you really that surprised you’re lucky to get 10 wins? I’m D2 since beginning of year and typically get 12-14 wins. I’ve been playing nhl since you were a young kid most likely lol
@ Google how skill based matchmaking should work. I am not arguing but that’s how it was explained by EA and it should work the way it’s designed. If you both have 2 wins I get it but if someone have 10 wins and someone have only 2 you shouldn’t be facing each other
Agreed the matchmaking was strange this week, it worked it my favor though. I started 10-0 for the first time in years but the skill based kicked into full gear and finished 14-6
Damn yeah i was just 10-3-1 in chemps and i get mached vs alphaborje gwc and sportsgamers tournament finalist. Its feels sus. But i can manage win him. I think thenx to bs inconsistent gameplay ea have one game ea give you boost and ai be like on steroids next game your ai just stand next to puck and dont give a shit about it:D
I have people in the discord saying how weird it was, a lot of easy or super hard games because of who you matched against. Not sure if EA does it on purpose or it’s just in our heads but the gameplay isn’t consistent at all
I don’t have any patience and want to make it quicker so will probably use some coins and trade in all 75-78 for my 2nd captain and after will start to work on my first holo icon.
Because everyone played it and I did find matchmaking very weird all weekend when o was matched against people I shouldn’t. 8 wins is still decent for a weekend like this, hope 10 wins next weekend for you
There is no match making because I had 11 wins and matched up with a player with 2 wins
That’s so broken, GGs on 11 wins

Not a surprise it’s not great, we always expect for more and receive this…
Hell yeah on the 10 wins Krista
Thank you. So happy that I finally did it, this year feels like a different game and it was so hard

No one is generous in the EU with gifting wins

From now on I start on saturdays and end in sunday
@ That’s my strategy, also games on Sundays are always easier than Saturdays
Congratulations getting 10 champs wins
Thanks 🙏
Unfortunately I couldn't do champs the last 2 weeks really wanted roenick an joe
I play every weekend but never could get 10 wins up to this week so very happy 🔥
This week had the best chase card for hut champs I started 10-1-1 and ended 12-5-3
You are just so good, I am happy with my 10 wins 😂 Everyone was playing champs this weekend, it was insane
You still using that cossa?
Nah, he was sold after few games
Gonchar was without doubt one best defense cards 1st month game
He still plays very good for me and I will be sad when I need to replace him
I only played people with the HUT Champs cards I still got 10 wins but I didn’t get any dusters
The feeling when you play teams with all champs cards and you have none is the best 😂😂😂
@ for real this one gonna be my first champs card cause I only played it the first time and stopped at 9 wins hahaha
@ Nice. I think we will see a good Adam Foote card soon as well, he will be a great one to chase too
That leo Carlsson card i really liked it he is a tank 💪
Using him now as we speak in SB and he is sooo fast

Hey! Thank you for kind words and for watching the videos 🩵 I don’t think we can meet and I miss school, it’s much better than adulthood believe me
Ya I said I know we cannot meet in the comment and by the way how do you miss school was it fun for you at all?
I was careless and stress free, never knew how much better it was before it was over. School was fun as well.
IM glad you felt that way about it I wish I could have too. By the way when is your birthday and when were you born?
Hey buddy you know you can shut the f up or I will come to your house right?

the matchmaking was definitely weird this weeks champs. usually good for 13-15 wins, barely hit 11 this week.

Always save every 75+.
75 for xfactor, 76 for icons and 77 for team builders. Eventuelly you will leave enough to complete sets.
I don’t have any patience and want to make it quicker so will probably use some coins and trade in all 75-78 for my 2nd captain and after will start to work on my first holo icon.
I don’t have any interest in TBs this year at least now with how the progression works.
champs was waaaay harder this week i usually get around 12 wins and only ended up with 8 :(
Because everyone played it and I did find matchmaking very weird all weekend when o was matched against people I shouldn’t. 8 wins is still decent for a weekend like this, hope 10 wins next weekend for you
Bomus packs are good. I got an 84
They look good, much better than I was expecting for sure
