Problem is that player cards never expire, so all these "mega packs" are flooding the market 30 cards at a time, supply is driving down demand so the market is going to hell.

Was up to 190k pucks last week but ended up deleting the HUT team completely and started over. Why? It's no fun to be able to buy any team you want, the challenge is being able to work the Auction House, flip cards for profit, and beat better teams than your own to earn pucks.

It's improved this casual player's gameplay skill greatly. Currently 16-4 with a team of scrubs, and 2-0 online. Just beat the defending Amateur tourney champion today, and he had a pretty stacked team.

So now the goal is to start from scratch, pick up pucks and never pay for a pack. Currently at

Tanguay - Hudler - D'Agostini
Gerbe - Brule - Read
Comeau - scrub - scrub
Bartschi - scrub - scrub

Butler - Franson
Orpik - scrub
scrub - Sarich

Ruzicka
scrub

Haven't paid more than 1,000 pucks for any player. Found Tanguay for 750 pucks today.

Problem with this strategy now is that with a flooded market, flipping cards is next to impossible and competing gets harder as everyone has good players now.

Thanks, EA Sports.
