4) Finish the Prospects collection ASAP, but be patient with the other NHL collections

How do we do this? Should I use the auction house?

How do we do this? Should I use the auction house?

Go to the auction house and search for:

Item type = Team Information
League = NHL
Team = Black All-Stars and Green All-Stars

Those are the two sets of Prospects items.

So I tried reselling my cards from the collections, can't get coins from them.

You can't resell the items that you receive from the free collection reward packs.

But you can resell all the items that you had to buy in order to unlock the free reward packs.

EA really messed up on this. In NHL 14 you got pucks (HUT currency) for completing a collection rather than packs. You then got to spend what you earned from completing a team set. Now you get packs which you can't even sell off if you don't need the items you get. You also need to dump the duplicate players and coaches and arenas and jerseys and logos if you already have them from another non tradable pack opening. (don't you just hate having to dump a really valuable player you may get from a pack opening simply because you already have him from another non tradable pack already?)

This is probably the only time I'll ever defend EA. They changed this after '14 because there were people trading and hoarding pucks and turning it into a business where they were making money by selling pucks for real cash! EA has made it clear this is cheating whether you sell or buy pucks and you can be subjected to penalties to your account.

This was issued shortly before the release of NHL 15:

Unfortunately this hasn't slow down the people who continue to offer "pucks for cash". Logic would dictate that were headed to a no-puck trading allowed or a limited puck trading (similar to a pro league having to approve trades).

I too use to employ the system of using my reward pucks to help complete other collections. Unfortunately this is the dark side of gaming where users are more into profiting and exploiting as oppose to just enjoying what they have.

Hi, about the off-wing part, is it better to buy a training card to switch the RW to LW and LW to RW ? It s a bit expensive but does it have an impact on the capacity of the players if they are playing OFF-WING WITHOUT a switch position card ? Thanks !

If you don't apply a position change card it will lower your team's chemistry.

Chemistry improves your team's positioning on the ice and makes it easier for them to handle passes and pickup loose pucks.
