This year, you’ll be able to find cards like gold rare in bronze packs and bronze items in gold packs. Packs are also getting a much-needed change as well. Instead of which league the player is involved in to determine their gold, silver or bronze rarity, it will now be based on overall. Player rarity is getting a change as well. Base items will now launch from 50-85 overall with a couple exceptions being alumni and legend items. A big change is going to be lower overalls. This seems like a good way to figure out which legend or elite players will work well in your system and which you can pass on.ĮA has also thrown some rebalances our way when it comes to HUT. What this means is that you’ll get a card for a certain amount of time (or games, but it is not specified in the deep dive) and the ability to see where they slot on your team.Īfter a certain amount of time (or games), your loan will expire and you can purchase the player from the Auction House. As you complete your milestones, you’ll get a loaned legend.
Loan players were mentioned within milestones. You’ll be able to buy legend packs which guarantees you a random legend card. This loaned legend’s overall will increase the closer you are to completing that set. While progressing through the milestone, you’ll earn a loan time of the legend. To do this, you’ll have to complete in-game tasks like scoring goals, completing sets, taking shots, and more. Thirdly, milestones have 7 legends you can obtain as a reward. Playing HUT every day will mean that you’ll be able to earn a new legend each month until April 2019. You can obtain these legends by completing all of your daily objectives and through your daily log-in pack. The second method is monthly collectibles. Every ultimate legend set requires you to trade in 45 legend collectibles but will give you a 99 overall ultimate legends player item.ĮA as assured that base Alumni Player Items for those legends will always be available via packs. You will then use these legend collectibles to complete the ultimate legend set.
You upgrade the Alumni version by trading the base version and a gold or carbon collectible.ĭoing this will earn you an untradeable legend collectible. To obtain the 30 regular legends from sets, you’ll have to obtain the base Alumni Players Item via pulling it from a pack or purchasing it at the Auction House and then upgrading it three times through legend sets. 30 of them will be regular legends and two will be 99 overall ultimate legends which includes Wayne Gretzky. There will be 32 legends available at launch in sets. You can also obtain legends in four ways: They may be in packs or as special rewards for things like tournament wins or where you are in the standings when a competitive season ends. The rest of the group will be released in waves. They’ll be available in packs that contain the prospect of a gold player item.ģ0 alumni players will be available throughout the year in regular store packs.
