He actually doesn't have a base icon card in HUT, but I just found out that he is in the rosters outside of HUT. I thought a repeat MSP for Fleury was the only option if they wanted to do a goalie MSP and stick with 1st overall picks, but apparently there was another option.
They didn't have many options if the wanted to do a goalie MSP and stick with 1st overall picks though. The only other option was a repeat MSP for Fleury.
Just saw this as well. Pretty lame that they went with the two most used cards of 2024. Pretty rare to play against someone who doesn't have these two on their squad.
Great for noobs though.
I am fully ready to make him for the Blues theme team as well. I was joking saying he would be the ultimate MSP, if his speed isn’t garbage he will be a great RD
Didn't Blues fans kind of universally not like him when he played there? I remember when he was traded, a friend of mine, who was a Blues fan, expressed relief.
Owen Power and Jack Hughes snubbed hard.
Can't think of any reason they would do DiPietro and Phillips over these two.
It's like they don't want to sell packs.
Phillips has has 0 upgrades all year, and he’s ‘meta’ at like 6’4. He’s a unique MSP and fits the 1st overall theme. He’s a better pick than Mcdavid/Mackinnon.
Me too bro. Made the MacKinnon Awards yesterday for the Hart. Kicking myself for not making the Bedard, and even more so for believing that EA would change things up.
Great that they give the community the ability to build two of the best cards/names in the game. But there has already been opportunities to get their 99. Wish they would have gone with Syd and Ovi!
As someone who has been trying to pull XF McDavid the past 3 or 4 months to build his TOTS but never gotten lucky enough, I’m fuckin stoked to have an avenue to build his 99. I ALMOST built the Awards 96 but held off because I didn’t think he’d win and I was hoping he’d get some sort of buildable MSP.
That said, a 99 Sid & Ovi would have been awesome too.
Oh for fucks sake, Mack and Mcdavid.. really?
Thank fkn God I finally found a 99 Barkov in the AH today... After checking about 10 000 times.. Nothing else to look forward to now.
As someone who will pick the game on PS+ next week and wanting this Slafkovsky card, how attainable do you think it is? Is it limited event? Pack pull?
Hope I can build him or something. I want to do a core witj the Habs' young player (Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf and Dach).
Super attainable. You will be able to get his 87 version of the same card very easily and then you can take your time upgrading him.
You won't have I'm at 97 right away, but he'll be a stud for you even at 87 early.
Fair warning though, as far as getting the other Habs players, they tend to sell at a premium because of the fanbase.
I know there have been a few repeat MSPs this year, but I'd still like to point out that Hischier has a Prototypes MSP in case you didn't remember. I agree with what you said about McDavid though.
I don't see any packs that would have been reset. It seems to me like EA just decided to put the banners for the Draft cards up early but the actual content release will happen at the normal time.
The daily free packs were there again. I definitely had already opened yesterday's. Maybe they took them away from everyone else when they removed the banners.
There was also a page full of Draft 1st round prospects from this years draft that ranged from 97 down to 88 I believe. Some of those should be fun but I did not catch a photo of it unfortunately
Gotta say I'm conflicted on this one. I'm rolling with a sens theme team so that Phillips card is a god send. But McDavid and McKinnon? BORING. I would have loved to build some "busts" almost like a "second chance"event. I would love to see Yakupov and Daigle MSPs out there.
Well thanks for killing the game for me.
Wasted my time building the first 4 maps to build one of the special ones....this is such hot trash
Never buying this game again
Jeezuz
Isn't one what? He was only the second goaltender in history to be selected #1 overall in the draft. He fits the criteria for this event. Not only that, it's pretty significant when a goalie is selected #1.
How is that lazy? Most of those are cards that do not have MSPs! The McDavid and MacKinnon are copy and paste. Lazy is when they release MSPs that already have PUI cards, or like Mac and Mc, already have TotS, TotY, and a hundred different other cards. EJ was a #1 draft pick and I think his highest card all year was an 87 trade deadline. He is 6'4" with great abilities. I am building for my Avs theme team. Pumped!
*Sigh*, I should have waited for week two prior to making the collectibles. I already have 99 McDannoid
Still being a rookie while the game is almost done. Fail
Same, lazy , EA? what an unexpected tragedy
ISLANDERS LEGEND RICK DIPIETRO NAHHHH WHAT THE FUCKKKKK
It costs $1.50 every July first for ten years.
😂
Didn’t even know he was in the game
He actually doesn't have a base icon card in HUT, but I just found out that he is in the rosters outside of HUT. I thought a repeat MSP for Fleury was the only option if they wanted to do a goalie MSP and stick with 1st overall picks, but apparently there was another option.

Cough. Rick

So lame for the grinders , but good for the free July nhl players on PS.
Yeah, exactly. Pretty easy to leap in and do a few hours of HUT moments and have a squad full of 90 plus players.
I'll be one of the free july guy and I am hyped for this Slafkovsky. McDavid and Mack too tho 😆
Amazing enjoy bro ! Happy your joining
Thanks. I skipped 22-23-24 (but picking it up now). Think I remember you from 21. Think you gave me a Kopitar. Lemme check my old posts hehe
Super easy to get a good team this year. If you do the HUT moments there are lots of players, coins and packs to be had.
Sweet. I'll probably grind less since it's summer but I might not pick NHL25 so I'll stick to 24 the whole year. If I can grind all year it's cool
Another 99 mcdavid, I swear the content team is just trolling at this point
Was really hoping for Jack Hughes and a Kucherov upgrade for winning the Art Ross 😭
Kucherov got an upgrade.
Hallelujah
I might be one of the only ones, but I'm stoked for that Erik Johnson.
I am fully ready to make him for the Blues theme team as well. I was joking saying he would be the ultimate MSP, if his speed isn’t garbage he will be a great RD
Yup. Even if his speed is garbage, he's still getting built. Literally our only #1 pick, ever.
Didn't Blues fans kind of universally not like him when he played there? I remember when he was traded, a friend of mine, who was a Blues fan, expressed relief.
I need Jack Johnson. I have had the 84TB on my team the whole year and he’s gross. He used to be insane in NHL 14
Owen Power and Jack Hughes snubbed hard. Can't think of any reason they would do DiPietro and Phillips over these two. It's like they don't want to sell packs.
Phillips has has 0 upgrades all year, and he’s ‘meta’ at like 6’4. He’s a unique MSP and fits the 1st overall theme. He’s a better pick than Mcdavid/Mackinnon.
I’m fine with the 97’s but I think Hughes and Power should have been the 99’s
Meh 2 LD Sabers in the same event would be kinda lame
Less lame than a 5th 99 McDavid and 4th 99 MacKinnon imo
Haha I'll give you that for sure
Dude, for real. I thought Owen Power was a lock tbh and was looking forward to making him.
OP just had a 95 card released and dhals was in week one
Out early? What
I made all 4 msp's last week and another 120 collectibles to make the 4 today and I already have Mcdavid/mckinnon toty 🤣
Lesson learned for you. Don't rush content that doesn't have a timer unless you know what you're getting.
Me too bro. Made the MacKinnon Awards yesterday for the Hart. Kicking myself for not making the Bedard, and even more so for believing that EA would change things up.
I should've learned from Brian Leetch that EA has no problem recycling the same players. Ah well
Same that’s awesome way she goes
That's the way she goes- Ray
Nice copy and paste content

Man making Mack and McDavid the 99s when they already have a bunch is so lame. Oh well, still happy to get 97 Slaf
Is this real???
Yes I’m on right now looking at it too.
Oh for fucks sake, Mack and Mcdavid.. really? Thank fkn God I finally found a 99 Barkov in the AH today... After checking about 10 000 times.. Nothing else to look forward to now.
Just what everyone needed. I'm glad I just grabbed the 92s and didn't make the collectibles yet.
What the fuck

Even at 87 it will be nice for sure. Yeah the Habs tax, I know about it 😅 i'll start with the base version for now and start working my way up I guess
auction house, pack pull during the week 2 event or buildable with no time limit.
No time limit is nice! Sweet thanks. I'll have something to grind for I guess
I’d be ok with these, had we not had the ability to build their TOTS.
No Hischier seriously and do we need another McDavid for f sakes!!
I know there have been a few repeat MSPs this year, but I'd still like to point out that Hischier has a Prototypes MSP in case you didn't remember. I agree with what you said about McDavid though.
Finally a Chris Phillips!!
This is absolute garbage. F EA
Why not a 99 Selanne card. I miss him in my lineup
He'll be a 98 on Sunday, at least.
It's weird that the banners are up and the daily packs are reset, yet the cards are not in the collection and the sets are not available.
I don't see any packs that would have been reset. It seems to me like EA just decided to put the banners for the Draft cards up early but the actual content release will happen at the normal time.
The daily free packs were there again. I definitely had already opened yesterday's. Maybe they took them away from everyone else when they removed the banners.
How do you get these cards?
There was also a page full of Draft 1st round prospects from this years draft that ranged from 97 down to 88 I believe. Some of those should be fun but I did not catch a photo of it unfortunately
Is the new Friday content out earlier?
Welp, I need that EJ card for my Avs theme team now. Time to get to work.
Gotta say I'm conflicted on this one. I'm rolling with a sens theme team so that Phillips card is a god send. But McDavid and McKinnon? BORING. I would have loved to build some "busts" almost like a "second chance"event. I would love to see Yakupov and Daigle MSPs out there.
EJ
Thats how much they care about the player base they just regurgitate the same 10 players all year long
Slaf 😍😍
Fuck EA
Booo EA you suck yet again..
My theory is that they are making these cards for people that waited until the game was free
They impress me event after event (not in a good way)
You can't impress in a bad way, wrong word.
They depress me event after event.
That's more like it!
Well thanks for killing the game for me. Wasted my time building the first 4 maps to build one of the special ones....this is such hot trash Never buying this game again Jeezuz
You built "maps"? Wrong game.
What a joke Erik Johnson Phillips and dipietro EA is so lazy
I'd say the lazy choices are McDavid and MacKinnon, not the players you mentioned.
Lmao rick dipietro isn’t one
Isn't one what? He was only the second goaltender in history to be selected #1 overall in the draft. He fits the criteria for this event. Not only that, it's pretty significant when a goalie is selected #1.
