NHL 15 Hasn't Updated Its Player Ratings Since Launch

[RaychelSnr]

Now 19 games into his 2014-2015 season, the 22 points tallied by Nashville Predators rookie Filip Forsberg currently tie Steven Stamkos and Phil Kessel for the fourth-highest total in the National Hockey League. Forsberg's +20 on-ice rating leads the NHL, placing five pluses ahead of the second-place skater, Vladimir Tarasenko.

It's been 10 weeks since NHL 15 launched, yet in the game, Forsberg remains the worst player in the Predators' lineup, tied with fourth-line grinder, Taylor Beck, for a team-low 77 overall rating.

this game has become a disaster and the above just shows it...such a shame.

Not only Filip Forsberg, but where is Jori Lehtera? Lehtera is still a 77 overall only at 26 years old; at least Forsberg has an opportunity to progress. Hopefully EA makes a worthwhile roster update soon.

Sad really. A total mess of a year. Hopefully new people are on for NHL 16.

I dont play NHL, last time I did was on the PS1. But this is an utter disgrace and the fact they charged 60 bucks for it is so beyond inexcusable. Someone should have to answer for this.

The NHL series to my knowledge for the last multiple years have only done one ratings adjustment per year and then a monthly roster update. I was never a fan of the hot cold thing because they were to slow to update that as well for it to have a true meaning to the real life counterpart. I just expect this from the NHL series now as it obvious EA really give minimum funds and attention to the NHL team.

I hate to keep beating the same drum but this could all have been avoided with player edit and total roster control. Roster sharing would be a bigger bonus so we could have the revamped roster project. Sadly I think EA is done fixing anything or adding anything to the game that is not HUT related. They also won't address any of these gripes either.

I hate Madden's weekly ratings update. I don't think there should be frequent updates. Players go through hot and cold streaks, but eventually regress to their average ability. I don't want someone's overall bumped up 2 points because he had a week with 3 or 4 goals just to bump it down 2 points the following week when they go scoreless.

The most frequently ratings should be updated is at the quarter points of the season. That's a long enough sample size to say, yes.. this players abilities are actually better/worse than we thought. Anything more frequent is not reflective of one's true ability, thus not sim.
