I'm wondering the same thing. Can you do team play and invite a friend? Can you create a game and invite people to it so they can play on your team against other humans? This is something you could do three years ago, but as of last week it wasn't an option in this year's game.

Does the card dissapear from my collection if the contract of a player runs out or are they the only not useable to play with anymore? I'm new to that ultimate team stuff but I'm already kinda hooked.
Also what's the fastest way to make pucks? I'm only playing singleplayer atm.

When a contract runs out, you have to apply a contract to continue to use the player. He does not disappear.
Fastest way to earn pucks? Auction house. Or buy packs and get super lucky.
Use the skill trainer. Its an incredible help with face-offs this year.
No, you keep the player card forever. What will happen is you'll get a warning in the edit lines section or when you attempt to play a game saying that one or more of your players has run out of games. All you need to do is put a new contract card of them or swap that player with a player that has games available.
Fastest way to earn pucks is to play online. Even if you lose, you can still pull in 800-1000 per game.
Yeah, they really worked on the faceoff mechanics now. It's all about timing vs. spamming it with the right stick.
You can still do the easy method of just pulling the right stick down, or you can get creative with tying up the opposing centre by pushing the stick up. You can also now do backhanded faceoffs by pushing the stick left or right (depending on the player's dexterity) and up or down (for a tie-up or a straightforward faceoff).
And the visual hints will tell you the right stick movements for faceoffs.

Ok, thanks guys.
I'm having problems in the defense with positioning and getting the puck back so I'll probably stay with offline season until I get the hang of it

Last 3 games I played the other player quit with 30 seconds left, and I dont get the victory. Fucking frustrating

Yep. I've noticed a constant stutter playing online where it hitches very briefly but frequently and it's annoying as shit

A post on Reddit re: the cheapest teams to collect:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NHLHUT/comments/3lmsf1/collection_guide_the_15_cheapest_with_approximate/
Searched. Did not find it.
Really? I was able to find it under club search, either by abbreviation or club name. I put the region North American East if you really want to narrow it down.
Here is the club link

Send me your gamertag and I'll send you an invite if it still doesnt work.
Still super expensive. I wish I knew about this. Literally got everyone but Jagr before realizing he costs like 25k. If anyone has him to borrow, please let me know (for ps4!)

Man, this genuinely doesn't feel like any improvement over the last year's title. It even has the same ridiculous music.
What's old is new, indeed.

Whats up with some players on different teams theyve never been? I can't remember the exact ones, but for example say I saw a gold Rask card on the Lightning instead of the Bruins. Ive seen a few random ones like that. Im fairly certain I saw a gold Lucic on the Islanders, but I could be wrong, but I could of sworn I saw it.

Trial is over, not sure if I'll buy it. One of the last games Ive played was against a top 100 player that was a puck shielder
So fucking sick of it. Of course I got crushed

Jaden Schwartz showed up like he was on the Senators for me yesterday. Even though I specifically searched for only Blues players.
How much did you play last years game? it's definitely an upgrade, and in a lot of ways. There's still a lot of shit that needs to be tweaked, but this is the game we should have gotten last year.

It doesn't look like it. In fact, how do you play with a friend (coop) period? It seems like you can't actually invite a friend to a game. My buddies don't want to do the EASHL stuff.

There are consumable cards you can get that allow you to change the team a player is on. By doing this you can match up players on One of your lines to all be on the same team, which increases their chemistry. If you then go to sell that card, that player with his new team will show up as being on a new team. It makes absolutely no difference, other then affecting chemistry.

Tried 2 games of EASHL tonight and they were completely unplayable for me. The lag was atrocious, despite the fact I have a very good internet connection.
Anyone else had problems with this mode? Online versus and online shootout both seem fine.

Hold the right stick all the way left or right (forehand or backhand) and then as the ref moves his hand to drop the puck, swing the stick from the side, down to the bottom. Takes bit of practise but you'll get it!

I'm getting the input delay (although mine feels more like 1-2 seconds than a half second) but also a constant stuttering/like, it's skipping every 2nd or 3rd frame.
You're not alone. I can't win any games online due to it. I keep double passing, mis-aligning hits, and blowing coverage non stop. If I play offline, everything clicks and feels like it's supposed to. I'm starting to wonder if it's done on purpose to even out the playing field for the online games from actual lag.
I haven't run into the stuttering yet. The game itself is pretty smooth but that input delay is so fucking jarring after going from single player to online.
You might be right but if so then it's such an extreme measure. It looks like bumper cars while the game is going on while you're literally trying to time what you're going to before you do it without flying all over the place. This is my first time playing online in an NHL game and I wonder if it was like this before.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I kill on rookie but get destroyed on pro. I've never had a hockey game kid my ass like this before
BTW, EA's AI cheat logic is still in full effect, even on Rookie difficulty. I was playing a HUT single player season and the first game I play is against some scrub CHL team on rookie difficulty, yet they scored 3 goals on me all the same way; skate in to my zone and wind up with a huge slap shot, let it go, my goalie saves it and it somehow bounces up and over him into the air then lands behind him in the net. I have Lehtonen in net too, not some CHL'er. I still won the game 17-3, but I find it amazing they just can't let the game play out like it should. I should have won that game 17-0, but because I let the other team take a slap shot from the blue line, unscreened, I get penalized for it? Fuck off.
It was pretty nuts to then play a team on Pro difficulty and see the changes. I won that game 6-2. I can't imagine playing this on Superstar. It can't possibly be fun to be scored on every single time the CPU shoots the puck. There's no way to prevent every shot in a game, so I don't know why they think they have to have the CPU cheat to score.

I think you need to adjust some sliders for the AI. I played 15 in GM mode on the highest difficulty and most games were 3 - 2, 4 - 3 etc. I only got my copy of 16 today so I can't suggest anything specific yet.
Hmm, I never actually tried adjusting the sliders in HUT because I just assumed they were locked to whatever difficulty the current challenge was. I normally play with custom sliders to balance out all the BS the CPU AI can do, but it still seems like they cheat no matter what. It also feels wrong to artificially inflate/deflate the players stats with the sliders when the difficulty setting should be about AI positioning and choices. I don't want my players to be faster or laser accurate with their shots while the CPU players are "normal". I want the players default attributes to be the difference between the teams and their choices on what to do with and without the puck.

Had the same experience a couple of games back but it's getting to even games now after I read some of this.
Won my first ever OT game yesterday, that feeling
on pro

I'm dumb and missed where you said HUT but since it's against the CPU you might be able to change it up, I'm not sure.

Apparently there is a 2 GB update out on PS4 that addresses input lag online modes including EASHL per some posters from Operation Sports
Felt the exact same to me
Thanks to MikeWorks HUT Guide. I've only attained cards through my RUB and collections (I didnt get pre-order packs, I haven't bought a single card that I use on my team). Only Sedin, Seth Jones, and Luongo I got from RUB
I am loving Dekeyser. Only 82 TWD and he's such a beast for me. I am learning how sometimes lower rated guys can be way better and worth more. Guys like Ennis have really high offensive categories despite being an 84.
Boedker(85)-Sedin (C89)-Jagr (86)
Lupul(85A)-Vermette(85)-Ennis (84)
Abdelkader(84)-Couturier(85)-Callahan (85) (beastly 3rd line shutdown)
Raymond (82)-Horvat (84)-Silfverberg (84)
Del Zotto (83) -Vatanen (85)
Dekeyser (82)- Seth Jones (85)
Mike Weber (81) - Johnny Boychuk (85)
Luongo (87)
Greiss (82)
I know my LD suck but its luck of the draw for me. Im only going for non-tradeable cards at this point which means collections.
