You can(and will have to) combine your card points with your silly boost slot gear "some of it looks authentic".

So the problem remains. Scrub kids will buy player boost packs and play like idiots. and all player will have wear fake gear to have max attributes, some of which looks authentic... I assume he means plain and generic.

So, not a single top player will be wearing any branded real hockey gear... Your choices are santa hat and camo gloves, or generic black gear.
For the guy that neg rep'd this post with "inaccurate information", you're a buffoon. I'll break it down into internet style information, I understand you primates have difficult with full sentences.

You're options for adding points are the following:

1. You can earn your card just like 09

2. Position specific boost packs

3. Individual pieces of gear with boost slots

Now here's where it gets tricky, so concentrate.

Using boost slotted equipment (3) adds attributes to your current build. Which means it adds onto your card points.

Using position specific boost packs replaces your card, and it's a package of gear - stick, gloves, and skates. So you can't use custom boost slotted gear on top of the position specific boost pack. But you can still use a helmet with boost slots, as the position boost packs don't come with helmets.

Simply:

card + boost slots = Yes

card + boost pack = No

boost pack + boost slots = No, aside from helmet

So, for max attributes, you will have to wear non-authentic equipment. Though the Kane equipment has boost slots, I hope there's more than a single option of authentic gear with boost slots, or about 70% of EASHL players will be wearing the exact same gear once the novelty of childish pretend gear wears off.
