I only had about 7 of them:

One 30 game "rare" contract card
Four - 8 game contract card
2 - 10 game contract card

I don't have much pucks to spend... Only have like 1000 which can't really buy anything.

I just looked at the auction list and I got two 10 game contract card for the minimum bid of 150 pucks each. But is there a easier way to get these cards?

buy the 600 basic pack. you always get contract cards.

I have yet to have a problem fielding my best players after 20+ games.

I think I played the biggest douche ever online today, all the guy would do was skill stick all over the ice and then stick lift on d. That isn't hockey, that is just figure skating.

Drop-in play = OTP with Random People.

If your teammates are done with a EASHL game, then they should wait for you or something. :)

Ah thank you. I won the Rookie tournament last night. The modifier was .4-.55 or something.. pretty terrible. I think I'll try the Spring tournament next since the modifier there is 1-1.

As for packs though, Standard Pack sounds like it will give better value than Jumbo Pack.

Standard = 2500 Pucks with 12 cards.
Jumbo = 7500 Pucks with 24 cards.

So three Standard = 7500 and you get 12 more cards.

-------------------------

I took your advice and bought a 600 puck Peewee/Basic Pack. I did get a contract card but I got some more junk non-NHLers :(

I got a Ryan Flinn card in a pee wee pack, my 3rd ex King on Team Cross Traffic. Easy way to get extra pucks as well is to sell extra contract cards you don't need, sold a couple of 13 game cards for 200 a pop.

:woot: Nice hit

Played my first online game today and the little twerp left the game before it was over because he was down 4-1 with an NHL only roster against my only God knows roster.

Might be my last online game.

That sucks. They get "punished" for quitting early because their EA Pucks DNF Modifier will hurt them. But if he already has an NHL Roster, that means he's one of the few who don't care about being punished since they spent real life cash to get the NHL cards.

As for contract cards. I took your advice nosoupforyou and Cross Traffic. Getting 2-3 contract cards out of the PeeWee Pack is great.

EA Sports is so stupid.

The game FROZE and I had to turn off my Xbox because I couldn't do anything. When I got back on, I got a message saying my Pucks will be reduced because I "quit" the previous game. Way to go EA.
