goalie ratings are really imaterial, if another guy is going to cross crease all game you could have a 99 goalie and they are not going to stop it or the short side glitch. Seems like even a 99 goalie can't stop that one.
goalies really dont seem to mean much in this game. i've lost games where i outshoot the other guy 30-8 and i lose 4-2 because my 97 overall rask can't stop a beach ball but the other guy's unboosted junior goalie is playing lights out.
I was losing 9-0, then EA Servers failed to synchronize resulting in the game ending and not counting towards the leader boards.
I'll give you kudos for even staying in a game that long. Once I go down by even four goals I really don't even see the poing in staying in the game any longer.
Bought a 99 Ryan Johansen with 89 game contract card for about 5200 pucks. Then I bought a 96 Nino Niederreiter card with 65 games for 2300 pucks. After that I didn't see any other linemates of theirs other than a 90 Ty Rattie for a BIN of 5000. Decided to buy him to complete the line. Still surprised how cheap I got the first two for.
I bought a 98 career SOTW Tavares 96/96 for 2.9 k .. Bought a Brown 74 career SOTW for 1.7k .. Bought a SOTW Alfie 40 career for 1k.. Parise 66 career for 1.5k.. Dem steals..
Can't wait to check back tomorrow to see what all of my cards I had up for three days sold for. I'm expecting around 15,000 pucks. Should easily be enough to buy 18 30 game contracts along with a good number of consumables to finally train up my "naked" team.
Not too big of a steal, but I managed to get an UT SOTW Letang for 5200 pucks. Might be able to sell him for 3-4k profit, or pair him in my lineup with my Suter who won't sell.
I just get really lucky with packs. I got a Malkin a couple weeks ago and in the pack before that I got a Datsyuk. I have built up a collection of trained lines of NHL'ers that all have a atleast 25 games at base salary, and they are all atleast 88 overall ( trained ). If I used all my different players, I could have atleast 5 teams of dominance. I probably won't have to buy anything for the next 3 months or so.
I don't even want to know how long it took you to get all the pucks required to build that team or how much money you spent on packs.

Basically that lineup, but I also use a bunch of different top lines..
Hossa - Toews - Kane
Perry - Getzlaf - Ryan
Neal - Malkin - Staal
Are my favourites.. the other three lines and my defense stays the same though.
Try switching Malkin and Staal and put Neal on the RW, and Malikin on the LW. Staal is good on faceoffs, and Neal is a best on one knee clappers from Malkin's passes.
