Personally, with the XP system and there being so many options cheap/free options in sets with every event for 85+ players, and there not being packs for SB and Rivals anymore, I use my hut champs to gamble at 9 wins instead of getting the card... unless its actually a card I want to use
Stamina is also a problem because line changes are broken. If the assistant changes your lines but the line change have completed, forcing the line change forces the lines to jumble
Biggest mistake they made was objective path, I want to use the team I want and not a bunch of random cards that I don’t like to complete objectives; it’s the same shit every week and it’s not enjoyable (score 25 goals with totw, get 35 assist with totw, play 25 games with totw…) idk how much pull you got but you gotta call one of them on that shit feels like a 9-5
Hey Sleeves, love your videos. Just wondering if you have heard of anyone else having issues with their line ups? My D-men keep switching sides. I put someone on RD and he ends up on LD. A few times a game the D will shift to the correct position. I have tried remaking my lineup. But the issue still occurs.
Sleeves! Shoutout to Red Deer Alberta Glad to hear you aren’t going anywhere after your cryptic tweet! Just wanted to hear your explanation on your next gen rankings. In fantasy you ranked guys by their likelihood of 99 but you had stankoven in the theme tier even though he is one of the odds on favourites to be guaranteed to upgrade to 96/99. I realize he is a smaller player but when considering your reasons on some guys from your fantasy rankings I had to ask. Thanks for all you do man.
One problem I have with endurance is in moments. They won’t let you change lines to keep your players fresh but then they tell you to score 3 goals with the same player in one period on all star difficulty when the player gets gassed after rushing down the ice one time. I understand they want to make the some of the moments challenging but I don’t think the player should get gassed so quickly, at least not in some of these difficult moments.
Hey, sleeves, why does EA screw up the account bound players? The Barzal is great, but it's hard to justify when you trade in 2 86 ovr players. You should get at least one back account bound. Thoughts?
Hey Sleeves, just an argument about the pack at 9 wins vs the guaranteed card at 10. I get your point, but if you can sell everything in the 9 win pack for 80k (about what you'd get most times) and can buy 2 85s with that 80k, which you hold until the trade ins are needed, you are still coming out ahead by 2x in value.
The way that other sports games could get the same excitement that you get with fantasy event is with a live base series like in MLB. I watch so many more games and random teams during the MLB season when I have made a bunch of roster investments. And then I get to learn new players that I would never take a second look at. In addition to rooting for other teams. It’s the same high that people get doing low-stakes daily sports betting.
Hey sleeves, I love your videos, they have been good highlight for a good NHL 25 hut grinder. I work a full time job in a nursing home for elders as a nurse and tonight after going 3-3 in champs, I decided it was not worth the grind. I'm usually a all year long player but for what NHL 25 offers right now, it's mid november and I quit. None of these cards are worth it. The endurance problem is a real problem. It's not normal that an 86-87 line gets gazzed out after a single rush. It makes the game really not enjoyable, even for you content creators. And it shows. You guys like Henreek, Thrash don't seem to have much fun with the game. You find your way to create content but you don't seem to have fun like you used to. I miss the old days of ripping tons of packs to maybe get nothing, but still you had the fund to play for packs. NHL 25 has taken all of that away and IMO is just not fun anymore. It seems like a chore to you as much as it is for us to grind all the fucking objectives. IT IS FUCKING BAD. Worst NHL since 2015. Bring back 2K so EA steps their game up plz. I hope this comment ends up in your videos because for EA needs to hear it. Rigjt now, if you're a casual player or a big SB grinder, you get nothing. And it's supposed to be "plau you want to play". I'm a not bad player and I spend 90% of my time of my time to SB grind. IT IS FUCKING BAD !
Holding/making Kaprizov could be a good thing if they do toty like previous years, especially if u like him as a player. He had a good second half last year and is playing like an MVP through this year.
Hey sleeves, I am a div 4 rivals player. I could probably be better but I dont have a lot of time to play. I just played against a guy who had charged davo, holo gretzky, holo lemieux and 10 other maxed out msp's. Its hard to believe that some people just play this game so much and have a nasty team. Keep up the great vids.
I’m sure it’s been asked a bunch but I haven’t seen an answer- what’s more impactful if I have 0 interest in the players: build 87 Barzal with all the free cards (rhw’s are Eichel, totw Mackinnon, 84 Kyrou (is tradeable, but one of my favorite players) and 85 xp Laine). Or just hold onto the 83s and 81s they gave as toty fodder. I think my rhw are stacked currently but obviously Barzal is solid. Just dunno if he’s worth throwing that fodder away when he doesnt feel necessary
Hey Sleeves, Appreciate all that you do. Aside from great content it’s inevitable that you have a bright future with your genuine work! I have a gameplay question. I’m not spectacular at the game. Div 3, but I know enough when ping issues, controller lag, or whatever people label “tilt” makes a matchup difficult. Without getting into a big tilt debate about coding and pre determined matchups…because that gets frustrating to hear people blame the game for L’s. When faced a tough matchup where you seem delayed how do you alter your gameplay to give yourself the best chance to win? Sometimes it seems as though you can’t do anything right and all of your players are slow? Just looking for what you do or what you’ve heard works when faced with this. Thanks so much!
All of the fantasy cards last year were basically useless once the custom builds started happening. They were all 80-84 endurance and cards were coming out with 95 endurance. I had Zacha and at 97 overall he was barely usable for the last months of the game. Thats the biggest reason I don't want custom builds back in the game and honestly hope they leave the endurance alone. I hope next year they get rid of the endurance stat and just make all the forwards have 85 and d men 88 or whatever number they would pick.
Hey sleeves, love your content! I’m really confused with the synergies that are only found on goalies and if they are even possible Ex. Speed boost, defensive boost, and Checking boost.
Hey sleeves, Just a question on what you think I should go for next. I just got icon Gretzky. Also I am halfway to my 2nd factor captain. Do you think I should dump my fodder into X factors to get mcdavid or should I turn it around I give team builders a go. Thanks for your time. Love the vids
Hey sleeves I made macklin celibriti, and that's the only one I going to make, and the reason for this is, these players are smaller and can knock off the puck, macklin speed does help him and he has put the puck in the net, but the way my team is set up is big and fast already I won't let everyone know who is on my team but they are 85, 86, and 87, do you think this strategy works for online players
I'm making 86 Hutson because he's winning the Calder (go habs) but I'm curious about your thoughts on what to do with my leftover cards. After making him I'll have three 83 overall next gen base items leftover. Is there anyone else I should go after that's a must make, or should I just save those 83s for another event? Also - If I have untradable 84s that aren't making the team, is it worth throwing them into a set that would require 83s, or should I wait for a 84 one? (in future events)
I want to ask I have Gretzky and Mat Sundin already, base my team all are 85-87 no any 84, i build other vintage power icon which one should I choose? Mario or Orr or Chris or who will you choose?
Hey sleeves, just got 87 milestone Mcdavid from 80+ pack, played couple of games with him, extremely fun card but my question is should I sell him now while the price is around 950k since its probably gonna drop with new higher overall players coming out?
Hey sleeves, I ran into an overcorrection issue. My forward core was becoming weak so I put my focus there are now I'm not sure where in the lineup to put all the cards I got. I finally got my first hologram and chose Gretzky, at the same time I finished the xp path and got Eichel. I chose to make Michikov from the next gen event and I have Panarin. I always reserve my first line winger spots for my two favorite players so those are off the table. Currently I have Gretzky at first line center, Panarin second line left wing, Eichel second line center, and Michikov second line right wing. Is it worth it to put Eichel on the wing and bump down Panarin which makes cover athlete Stamkos my second line center or is it worth it to leave Eichel at center for the sake of giving Panarin more ice time? Also would it be worth it to make Barzal and then leave him on the second line and move Panarin down leaving Eichel at center?
Hey Sleeves love the content/ Pulled the 87 Milestone Gretzky yesterday tradeable, I'm torn i don't know if i want to keep him as ive already played a few games with him and he's tearing it up, or if i should sell him and bank the 800k for future events.
Hey sleeves. Who should I have as a center, Eichel or Barzal. I have to have one at center becasue of how good my right handed depth is. Currently I have Eichel at center and I have Barzal on the wing with gold wheels so I can get that good rush up the boards but I want to hear what you think.
As a Ducks fan, I made the Gauthier msp. I want to put him in my lineup, but he has the power forward synergy and I’d have to sacrifice either the sniper, two way, or playmaking synergy to put him in. Is it worth it and if so, which other synergy do I sacrifice? Thanks and have a happy thanksgiving.
hey sleeves, i have 2.1 million coins rn, any advice on what i should do with them or do i wait for toty and possibly just buy a card if i like any of them?
Hey sleeves I need some help with my right wingers I just got eichel I have 87 Eichel 86 Smith 85 Mackinnon and fantasy Zettelund but I got Nylander who should I switch for Nylander ? Also have 700k and need a good right handed defenseman any suggestions?
hey sleeves they say they want to make the game invlusive,but then make it so only the people that spend money can get great teams.In the end its about economics not inclusitivity,not about you can play the game the way you want.Honestly if they wanted to make it for us, they would not have real money in the game and we would use the coins from grinding the game only to buy packs.yours truly the unsilent majority
You could get duplicates you are then forever stuck with. If you're fine with a good ovr bnd card, I would do one this week, then save them for when 86 get released for the bnd set and do one there.
I’m glad barzal is so good. But I’m disappointed he’s equal to or maybe even better than XF mcdavid . After grinding to get mcdavid another card shouldn’t show up this easy to get. Or if they are gonna give us a good card mcdavids xf should be a 89 or something
I mean counter point. McDavid will be a 99 by the end of the year. Barzal is a good card but he won't be upgraded. XF McDavid will be the better card overall
Bonjour Sleeves! Gotta ask the question everyone’s been wondering and we need it answered. How now brown cow? In all seriousness, I really appreciate you and everything you do for this community so thank you. All the best to you, your wife, and kiddo! Stay safe and stay healthy buddy! (:
I can confirm, Barzal is nuts! He’s super super fast. He makes my base McDavid look slow as all hell. I’d recommend everyone make him (:
I have charged McDavid and Barzal makes him look slow as well!
@ now that’s nuts! Wow! Thx for the info. This is good to know
I was thinking of making him and now i definitely will make him
Nah man give yourself credit for the content. This who should you choose series is great

Anyone else notice the speed boost people are getting when they check the open air on defense to jolt them forward. It’s so cheap.

The fomo of not finishing wildcard moments objectives and champs is a sure way to burn out
Nylander with elite edges is so worth it for the X factor guys.

I did all the gamebreakers moments and have 18 collectibles. Do I just complete the 3, 86ovr sets?
You could get duplicates you are then forever stuck with. If you're fine with a good ovr bnd card, I would do one this week, then save them for when 86 get released for the bnd set and do one there.
