Not every card needs to be immediately achievable for the average player. These chase cards are for the long-term and more for the competitive players who spend more time on the game. Casual players’ experience will not be ruined by not having these cards. There are plenty of good cards that are very achievable for the average player
Everyone this year has had the "sell" mindset, but I decided this week to put tradable and untradable cards in my hologram icon set, and just go for broke, grinding objectives for 76+ card and coins to buy more cards has sped up the process for me and now I'm two players away from Sundin as well.
@@DinoKrista That makes sense, but I have a team theme every year, so I'm limited on who I could choose for a rental plus when I do stack some coins I get antsy and spend them on packs, then I'm right back to square one lol
My Mario and Wayne cards are the best I have played with so far this year. Mario is so good for me so far. He’s also my favorite player of all time, so I worked on getting him from day 1.
Never said they aren’t good 🙃 just don’t think with the way they upgrade this year it’s worth that much coins. Last year I rushed to get them both because I knew every month they will go up so the progression wasn’t lost
If that’s the way it would take us 16 weeks but we are only 45 days into game cycle, I am not saying you can’t make them but wildcard only have us max 5 X factors this year I believe, one was from objectives and one from moments I think.
Wow, you actually mentioned the difficulty in sniping in the auction house this year. Ive experienced this and im super disappointed about it. Probably the worst disappointment in NHL 25 bc this was one of my favorite things to do. I actually think EA is using bots to buy the really low selling cards bc thats how they kept the Market so expensive for so long.. which make people spend a lot. Im at $1000 spent so far 😢
I don’t think they use bots to be honest but I couldn’t snipe a single card so far this year because if my input delay and menus are slower than others I will fail not matter how hard I try. That’s why when others say - just use the AH, it isn’t that easy this year as prior years and maybe only 20% can do it
@DinoKrista you're right. I enjoy coming up with conspiracy theories lol. I'm a great sniper and made around $3M coins off of snipes in NHL 24. I've only gotten 1 good snipe this year for 40k profit (Nylander). I'm not a happy camper
Awesome video. Good tips. I haven't built any xf and can barely make some msp. I have jave been putting cards in the sets just to see. But even then I use what i have for msp and other collections
I think everyone just wants to get these cards but don’t realise that there will be multiple Gretzky or McDavids cards released so EA can upgrade the master items. Eventually we all will get it done but I don’t think now when everyone’s teams are in average 83/84 overall one or two cards would make a big difference
I agree....I'm not chasing after meta cards. Very boring to do that. I just get matched online against bots for the most part anyway. I think EA trys to rigg the games to influence your decisions to buy cards or packs. Based on whats happened to me anyway....That said I like trying out new goalies and cards but the way the market is if you buy a $200 card and try to sell it back after 5 games seems like cards will drop in market and you loose coins. The gilmour card for an example. Many more.
You will always lose coins if you sell at the wrong time, the AH is very low now so need Friday and content to drop before prices will go up again, hopefully
My goal is still to get XF Kuch at this moment, which the whales had on opening night! I would be shocked at this point to see that McDavid or even Gretzky on my team this year.
I will probably end up with 3 captains before 2025 as I can make one a month if grind for everything they drop. Kuch is my next one with Miro to go afterwards. I will not trade any in until I see how much that TOTY McDavid will cost in case it’s cheaper to make him than trade captains in
I think his speed and hands are great but same as many other players who gets a card. We will have so many small LW later in the year that he will not be that outstanding imo
I am just sharing my thoughts, there isn’t anything really wrong with sets, people just need to be mindful they may put all coins in a player will be good today but if not upgrading every month can become 3rd liner before next upgrade
Interesting thought. Games like HUT it’s always more beneficial to not spend any resources. But there’s no fun in that. I wonder if POI and xfactor were meant to be “free” cards that take a long time. Giving a purpose to 75/76 overall cards. There’s almost no real reason to make them/spend coins on them. And save your other 77+ on events and money for packs and shit. Buuuuuut in saying that. It’ll be fun to have them now. New event cards cost about 400k and mcdavid costs over 1.5 mil. So spending the 400k is cheaper unless you use your fodder which then mcdavid is free
That’s what I like about X factors. If I make slowly one captain every 3 weeks I at least have a new card to try out and use before I trade them all in. The collecting aspect is awesome and I like that I believe by the year end we all can make them for free with amount of cards they give us I just don’t don’t think going all in from day one for card is the good move
I agree with you entirely but I am free to play and I have completed xf mcdavid this week so it is very doable BUT I had to do every single obj, moments and wildcard to get all the fodder
I believe he is awesome and I could get him as well if I would just focus on one player but I don’t think one card is worth 6M coins and at current overall when we don’t know how fast he will upgrade. If it would be something we see ( upgrade ) once a month I would have more confidence on going all in.
I'm taking my time getting these. I have 1 captain and almost gave a second. I also almost have one of the vintage power up icon signature cards. Not rushing to get them
@DinoKrista I'm enjoying HUT so far this year. Playing casually having fun. I'm ok with the slow grind. Heck my biggest dilemma is which vintage power up icon to pick. I wanna go Chelios cause I'm a Blackhawks fan. But with only 3 positions to put him in vs if I get a Center that gives me 8 possible positions. I'd hate if I made Chelios and didn't use him a month later
I think the game is okay when you don’t chase all chores EA gives us. I struggle online a lot this year but if I stick to Wildcard, Rivals and SB for objectives I am okay, champs is something I don’t ever want to touch 😂
You know I think the speed attribute is not the #1 attribute in goal. Only for breakaways. I tested out Walstred 82...he has 79 speed but 85 positioning. I think the positioning attribute could over compensate a low speed attribute bc of not loosing his angles. I think whatever goalie you have in net you have to adjust your defensive style and strategy. Just in real life. Maybe a shorter goalie put in real tall dmen . And block everything in stratagy and play more consertative and wait for your opponent to make a mistake and then score acouple off there mistakes but at the end of the day you have to play to your own play style otherwise you'll just be bored and hate the game....IDK
I just think I have one of the slumps and need to get through it, that’s all. There are two type of players this year, one enjoying the game a lot and one who can’t stand it, I am getting closer to 2nd one just because I never can get lucky with goals like others and content is meh as well. Will just wait and see what happens next and hopefully we see some changes
good job on the video but you really gotta get the correct information before posting it. Holo Icons will upgrade as they do not have the blue check marks. only the base PUIs are not getting any upgrades. Also the captain cards seem to come back as UT not BND. keep up the good work on your videos
I never said icons will not upgrade - I said will not upgrade every month as it was in prior years. Every card this year will only upgrades when EA releases a new card with higher overall the info is correct. 🙂Also, captains are BND not UT. ( EA confirmed it )
NHL 25 fucking sucks. I usually play HUT all year long but this year, the rewards are so so bad that it's november and I already feel like I'll stop playing before christmas.
Not sure I understand what you are saying. So if you are good at the game you can win any games with 80 overall team and only need 86s if you aren’t good? Majority of the community isn’t D2/1 players so will struggle and cards unfortunately do help
At this rate your avg player will be making these cards in September. If they're around that long. And 26' will be out.
That’s why I think adding some to XP path would be huge for casual players
Not every card needs to be immediately achievable for the average player. These chase cards are for the long-term and more for the competitive players who spend more time on the game. Casual players’ experience will not be ruined by not having these cards. There are plenty of good cards that are very achievable for the average player
@@Tbhd-s8u Exactly my point, if you rush to get them straight away you may lose interest to game as a casual player because what’s next?

I only sell cards so can “rent” players ( buying ) for a weekend and try different players
@@DinoKrista That makes sense, but I have a team theme every year, so I'm limited on who I could choose for a rental plus when I do stack some coins I get antsy and spend them on packs, then I'm right back to square one lol
I'd get Lidstrom over sundin.. I picked Sundin and other than draws he hasnt been good. Im Div 2 player with 13-15 wins in champs.
Thank you for your honest and 100% accurate information and great content Krista
Thank you for watching it, really appreciate it

I’ve already made 2 captains X factors on my free to play account. It’s easy when ea gives a base X factor player almost every wildcard week
If that’s the way it would take us 16 weeks but we are only 45 days into game cycle, I am not saying you can’t make them but wildcard only have us max 5 X factors this year I believe, one was from objectives and one from moments I think.

I'm already committed to making gretz like I do every year (about 80% complete right now) I'm sure he will be good.
Good. I think they all are good I just hope they receive upgrades quickly so you don’t have to sit with 86ovr card for long
Keep up the great work. I am so happy to have found your youtube channel.
I am so happy you did! 🩵
Good take Dino!

Will we still be able to make series one x factor cards when season 2 starts?
It’s not confirmed but I assume yes.
My goal is still to get XF Kuch at this moment, which the whales had on opening night! I would be shocked at this point to see that McDavid or even Gretzky on my team this year.

Gretzky is overrated imo (in the videogame)
I think his speed and hands are great but same as many other players who gets a card. We will have so many small LW later in the year that he will not be that outstanding imo
Shared! Thank you for calling EA on their shit!!!

Which level difficulty and how many minutes gives the most xp in wildcard? What’s the fastest way
Play on superstar and just lose games, will get around 300XP per game
@ TY. 2 minutes or 4?
Hey Dino krista what is it like living in the uk?
Hey. I assume same as in every other country. There are good and bad things about it. Free medicine and bad government 😂
Dinokrista lol😂😂
Made mats sundin and Wayne and the free ability pays for it self honestly
Sundin is the first one I will make once I will get anywhere close to getting it done. Want to have 3 X factor captains first.
I have 228k and quinn hughes is my favorite player should I buy him?
Yes. Always go after players you like, his 84 pre order card scores the most goals by defensive player for me
OMG NEW DINO VIDEO !!!!!!!
OMG! Can you imagine if there would be one every day!? 👏
The worse part it really lowered the worth of free preorder rewards
Pre order this year only gave us game time, nothing more tbh
NHL26 will have some STIFF competition for my attention. *cough* GTA VI *cough*
We will see a GTA VI before a good NHL game
Paying all that just so you have to pay to upgrade them just save for toty mcdavid
Same as last year but with free zone ability
Packs are very slowly getting better
I can see it, also 80ovrs are now going for around 9k only compared to 20k two weeks ago
Dinokrista agreed👍👍👊

It’s for sure not the best year for HUT. I also feel like I don’t have any motivation to keep going
This is the end for hut. Its not for fun anymore, its a fkn fulltime job to play this shit.
Lovely game isn’t it? 😂

Are you asking if they're worth 2000$ ? .. no
Not a single card is worth that much money
@DinoKrista how much do you think they cost
@@hibbity_hooblah I this the price of McDavid should be around 3M at this point considering last year you could buy his X factor for around 1.5 M
