Really dont like this high rating culture that NHL has. Ratings in NHL are pretty much useless. Fifa does it so much better. If Ramsey played for the flyers instead of Arsenal he would be a 89 rated....

It is pretty odd that 80 seems to be the floor for semi-decent players. Basically, if you're below 80, you suck.

I am guessing one of them is Price?

I think its because in the NHL games you have leagues that are way worse than the NHL. If you start giving NHL players ratings in the 60s/70s you would have to start giving CHL players ratings in the 20's which just seems insulting.

NHL- 65+
AHL, SEL- 50-70
FEL, NLA - 35-55
CHL - 20-40

Ovechkin, Crosby, and Price.

That would be my guess.

Except in that "Be a GM" trailer it had Weber has a higher rating than Ovechkin so we'll see.

Yeah, they really need to work on that.

Ya but a 75 overall enforcer that plays probably 20 games a season doesn't really help in that regard. That is actually more insulting when half the CHL players are 5 times the player said enforcer is. Atleast they're not scoring pp goals anymore, so that's a plus.

Fifa has the same thing (moreso even) and it works out fine

I only got my first Fifa (14) and I have to say their ratings system is so much better. Ratings actually matter and I love it.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

They should try bumping down the ratings. In FIFA, an 86 overall is considered an elite player.
In NHL, you're in the top 250 with an 86 overall.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I really wish they'd increase the importance of offensive and defensive awareness. A player should be able to have really high physical attributes and be absolutely garbage on the ice. We see plenty of players that have a ton of speed, or have a monstrous shot. But they don't have the awareness to put it to good use on the ice.

If they did something like that, then you could keep the same rating system, but the game would play so differently.

So Luongo has a very good season then gets bumped from the top 10... ok EA....

 

[Super Cake]

I think Mason should have been in the top 10 honestly. He is an underrated goaltender.

Andersen makes the top ten when he wasnt even announced as the playoff starter till right before the playoffs.

how is this guy better than Luongo, BOTH SC starters, MAF, Dubnyk, and so on..

 

[The Great Weal]

Quick is definitely not 93

 

[captaincheese]

When did Holtby become a god of all goalies? sheez.

 

[Crede777]

If anything, the ratings in the NHL games should be even more dynamic.

There's nights a player plays like a 75 and others where he plays like a 95. At least in FIFA they implement "form" where you're either in great form, good form, mediocre, poor, or terrible. In NHL, I'd like to see a player's rating fluctuate throughout the season. Consistency in itself should be a player stat. Some guys you pretty much know what you're going to get every night, but for rookies and streaky players it should be more variable.

 

[Duke16]

Imo for the goalies

Price 95
Rinne 94
Lundqvist 93
Quick 92
Rask 91
Fleury 90
Bobrovsky 90
Schneider 90
Luongo 89
Varlamov 88
Holtby 88
Andersen 88

Rask 91
Fleury 90
Bobrovsky 90
Schneider 90

agree except for varlamov who should be 89.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Pricey.

If these ratings are any indication of the other positions, I'm gonna have a lot of editing to do.

Andersen over Fleury, Crawford, and Luongo? I don't think so. I really hate EA ratings.

 

[JFA87-66-99]

The ratings are too high

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Why in God's name is Freddy Andersen an 89 overall? He had a .914 sv% this past year....
