If only they had a struggling LF on a one-year deal that they could DFA to make some room ...

Coming soon!

...coming a lot sooner than people would expect👀

Matthew Tkachuk is the cover! Reveal on Wednesday 🔜

Card art looks phenomenal (per usual tbh) Teemu 🫶

A HIGH fly ball into the Cincinnati Skyline

this was the team and they blew it 💔

These are the exact posts i’d love for HUT Giving people a taste of what’s to come throughout the week is basic marketing that works for ultimate team players. Also wouldn’t hurt to do some content streams (give us drops)

Nice moment between Jalen Hurts and a fan.

*Main Menu Refresh* New menu loads quicker, fewer clicks, and takes you where you want to be without the “extra friction” Your team's top players are shown on the main screens Lineup screen now uses the same one Wildcard had/has - Major improvement

*Cup Chase* Offline mode based on an 18-game schedule and 2 two-round playoffs. Each round is best of 3 Choose your own difficulty Individual reward path is separate from the Season XP path. Reward content is specific to the mode, getting rewards “on your own schedule”.

*Ranked* New competitive mode Matchmaking floors- No relegation. Higher divisions can be reached within season Reworked rewards- “Every game now contributes to something” Reach qualification division to qualify for HUT Champs Reach ultimate rank to unlock exclusive jersey

*Team building and seasonal structure* Player combinations are bonuses, based on lineup construction. Stacking players of the same teams, nationalities, item types, etc., unlocks more bonuses Salary cap- Encourages smarter and more intentional lineup decisions

*Seasonal Programs* Structure of core programs is “directly shaped by feedback of the community” Captains, Rookies, Heroes, and Icons are “foundation” of the content plan and will roll out each season Alumni cards are their own card type and will be “core pieces” to obtain

*Early Access and Chel Weeks* Fresh Ice- First event Early access XP path- connects directly to worldwide launch event Chel Weeks- Content drops across 5 weekdays. Themed with a mix of buildable players, objectives, collections, spotlight players, and community vote

There seems to be a lot of confidence behind this year’s launch of HUT. These words (in the photos) can really backfire, but I do also appreciate them just laying it out there. Just something that has stuck out to me. We’ll find out eventually if it’s good or bad.

Some solid pulls off the rip! One thing I find interesting (idk if it’s good or meh tbh) is that there’s really no big chase card right now. This likely changes at launch, but it’s kinda interesting how each of the special cards in the game are easily attainable day one.

sooo Mike Gartner... 😉

I am very curious to see how EA handles Cup Chase rewards throughout the year. I am a bit concerned the rewards won’t progressively get better as they should. Right now, playing 22 games on superstar for a few players is a major downgrade from 25’s SB reward.
