petition to EA

Man, I'm glad I don't play online - I just ignore this boost silliness. I have no doubt it is here to stay though. Those of you who bought the boosts have guaranteed EA will never drop the concept.

The EASHL is a joke IMHO. It is a MMORPG. To be good, it takes no skill, just money and/or hours played.

I consider myself to be an above average d-man in the game, but I go against these guys with veteran cards and above and I'm useless. I poke the puck and it never leaves their stick.

I play Modern Warfare 2 and even though I'm only level 20-something I can play against people who have hit 70 and even prestiged. Even though they have a lot more weapons and perks, I can still play and have fun and compete on a reasonably level playing field. In MW2, it is fun to level up, but not essential.

In the EASHL... boosts and cards rule. I play once a week with a bunch of friends and none of us even have a veteran card yet. When the game came out we could play and compete with anyone. Now? We lose every single game. Our shots bounce off the post while people with higher attributes can bury bad angle shots. We have no chance... we're just cannon fodder.

At times, the EASHL has been almost as fun as playing the real game, which says a lot. Mostly though it is frustrating. The "casual" league needs to be for casual players who don't log hundreds of hours in the game. People who play more can simply defy the laws of physics, and that just sucks IMHO.

Boosts are the reason I stopped playing this game.

It's no fun being at a competitive disadvantage just 'cause the other guy's spent more money than you.
