Hey Sleeves, you keep mentioning that Tape to Tape is a useless ability, but in a sense, I would tend to disagree. I realized the big upside in Tape to Tape while playing WOC with my buddies. One of them didn't really care about his player build so he threw on none of the meta abilities and he had Tape to Tape on. I then realized that he was able to make extremely strong passes just shortly after he received the puck, meaning with Tape to Tape, you don't have to hold R2 for so long like we usually do to make sure the passes are sufficiently strong. I feel like that might need so more testing, but if that's the case, I can see a world where Tape to Tape find itself pretty useful in various situations. Anyways thanks for the great content as always and for bringing such a great aspect of community with your work :)

I always loved tape to tape and I remember how OP terravainen was a couple of years ago when his MSP had gold tape to tape! I watched him play as a NJ Devil and he set up some sweet goals with his passing! He is a beast!

Gameplay is great this year. I don’t even mind the slow progression, it’s kinda nice to have 80 Laf actually matter on my team! Just wish more packs were available as rewards, that’s always been a fun part of Ultimate team modes for me and I don’t spend money on the game.

You are the only consistently good thing this franchise has. EA, if you read these, hire this dude as a consultant, you NEED consulting (and maybe some medication). I understand EA is about making money, but you can make money and have FAR better customer satisfaction than what EA has with this game.

Hey Sleeves. I’m a lower to mid D2 player. I want to say that the best part of my game is defense. But I struggle in scoring in higher level games simply because I get shut down when trying to get into the o zone. I try to either pass my way into the zone, skate in, even dump with cycle turned up all the way. Is there any bigger picture type mindset that you use when trying to get into the o zone? Take what the player gives ya or change a setting depending on what neutral zone pressure your opponent is using?

Yo sleeves. I find the inherent delay or button input not registering in the game is nuts lol. Even in squad battles I find it hard to pull of a natural slapper from the point. It just ends up as wrist shot 80% of the tune. Is it just me because I'm using a wireless controller or controller drift?

The pro difficulty is frustratingly hard. The team builder moments, the two moments to get the cards were giving me so much trouble, literally yelled “what the flip” multiple times 😂. I usually play squad battles on superstar and could not understand why those two were harder than they should have been. Glad I’m not the only one!

Hey Sleeves, If we’re 50/50 on the fantasy event, is it worth it to go all in with EA releasing better players for this event. I’m debating between this and saving for team of the year which i’ve found to be easier to obtain than fantasy cards in years past. Much love again and never quit!

Hey sleeves, I asked in the comments last episode, and you read it this episode, about why Pro seems so much harder than every other difficulty. Well I decided last night to do a little experiment. I played three, 4 minute, games against 77 overall teams (which streams to be the most common in SB) against Semi, superstar. And Pro. While semi is obviously the easiest I've found superstar trends to be better overall as far as skill and strategy. Pro seems weirdly EXTREMELY adept at shot blocking. I can't tell you how many times a "perfect" d to d 1T got blocked in pro. In both semi and superstar I will usually outshoot the computer, usually by a decent amount. In pro I get Outshot and it's largely because most shots, whether 1t or just normal slap & snap, are getting blocked. This has to be by design or coding.

Great content as always, Sleeves! As your next WSYC will be after the Fantasy Event drop, I have a question regarding suggestions for the super casual HUT player. While I don't entirely blame the changes in NHL 25 for my drop off in play (2 kids and my first year grinding The Show don't help either), I was wondering how someone who can only dedicate a few hours a week early on in the season take advantage of the current model to even build a fun and competitive (Bruins) theme team? I'm perfectly happy playing other modes to get my hockey fix but I'm worried the casual player isn't built for HUT compared to years past. Am I wrong to feel that way and totally missing the point or has EA left the causal F2P player behind with the update in content distribution? With every new event I feel further away from obtaining the type of cards I had fun with last year and Fantasy looks no different.

Hoping for a good pack in store finally. I can’t wait any longer as I’ve got zero foder and everyone’s teams are getting better quick. No real question just wanted to share, I’ve never been able to save coins and pucks like this so it’s been tough haha! Thanks for the content and keep it up bud.

Bonjour from Hamilton. I’m pretty confident that people are going to blow coin loads this week with fantasy event. Once that is done, the market will crash as people will have a lot less liquidity. Also, you said it looks like 79s are the event currency card - but I have a different theory and want to know what you think….. The pattern we saw before Cover Event - was it takes 6 cards of “VALUE X” to make a card of “Value X + 3”. Examples: 6 83 Team Builders = 1 86 Team Builder 6 82 Covers = 1 85 Cover So when team builders released, it made sense that 6 79s would make an 82. My theory is that as the year progresses, this will be the formula. It will increase the value of cards that are 3 under the current MSP value. I made a lot of coins with this theory buying 79-80s when they were the same price as 75-78. If this is also true, as the year progresses, lower value cards will be used primarily for Xfactors and Icons. So I would expect 79s to soon drop in value to be inline with 75-78. Sorry for the long post, but would love to hear your thoughts about this theory and if something similar has been done before. SEENGWEEDS.

Now bring on those fantasy cards and hopefully the first event of the season with some hope for the rest of the year.

Hey Sleeves: I have a hope that somehow Season 1 X Factors will somehow be useful for Season 2. I have 5 of the base S1 but don’t really like or care for any of the 4 captains and know that the McDavid chase is just too long. Long story short: I hope I can somehow use my S1 base XFactors for S2- especially if it has a captain i like/want. Thanks always for your great work!

Hey Sleeves!! Been a while since I left a comment on who should you choose, but I find my self in a bit of a situation... I did pre order the game this year for the first time ever, considering how hard I grinded HUT last year. So I am still sitting on my pre order pucks that I was given. The fantasy event I 1000% agree with you has to be one of the most favorable events of the year, certainly the most unique. I'm really hoping this is the year I will be able to get my first fantasy card as in years past by the time I got the game I never had the fodder. As it's my first time going for a fantasy card what should I be on the lookout for? Also, love the content and keep up the great work my dude (P.S. glad your feeling better, Being a fellow Canadian I know how much this time of year sucks up North :)

Hey Sleeves, what do you think about replacing Exhibition mode with your Stanley cup seasons idea? You can have your Team play against NHL teams in a circuit with a Stanley Cup celly at the end. It will give XP and count towards objectives. I bring this up because I’ve noticed playing exhibition mode against NHL teams is more difficult than Squad Battles early on in the year. Let me know what you think. Thank your for all you do.

Hey dude! How much you think bc McDavid should cost. Like how much would you be willing to buy best gold card in game. Like 200k coins sounds a lot but we get coins so easily it seems, that i feel that the price has been where it shoud be in last few weeks. Also is this the year that your first line does not have that much of an impact since we lose stamina so fast in game. Makes that you have to have 4 good lines. Also on D to have 6 good D-Men/Women (sike, there are not single good female D (sad :()).

Sleeves what's up my man. I think you may have covered this already but squad battles and rivals are so stale. Why not make them a full scheduled hockey season. Would be a lot more rewarding to actually see your team raise the cup at some point. I could think of a million fun things to throw in with that kind of a format like allow people to simulate a game a day if they aren't able to play and still progress. Also cool rewards for different trophies earned a player on your team might have won, Presidents trophy, and Stanley cup winners. They could borrow things from other modes and make hut better with stuff already in the game. I don't want to drag on but what you think?

I've never understood this thought process. For people that don't play Online HUT much, why do you care if we that play single player modes get good rewards? If we aren't playing online why does it matter to you what rewards we get? A player that doesn't play Rivals/Champs, isn't going to magically get better by having good rewards in single player modes. A player that does play online is going to get the rewards anyways, so who care if they do it offline first to then use online. This gatekeeping of online vs offline rewards is just so strange to me. Like didn't they cancel the GWC too? Like who TF cares? You don't care about the wallet warriors getting good cards...why care about those that play single player just to build their team like an RPG? They aren't going to be jumping into Champs and dominating just because they grinded Squad Battles.
