NHL 13 Changes the Way Players Are Rated - Top 5 Forwards, Defensemen and Goalies

[kingspore]

Can't believe Giroux isn't one of the top 5 rated forwards seeing as he is the coverboy...

I'd imagine he is at worst 8th.

At least I can edit them, first guy to edit? Evgeni Malkin, no way is he less than Ovechkin.

Wow....these are pretty terrible. Does EA even watch the awards show to see which players were voted best at what they do? How is Malkin, the Hart winner only the 4th best forward? How can Karlsson win the Norris and not even crack the top 5 defensemen? Miller as the best goalie? LOL. These are beyond embarrassing...

Probably because award shows are completely ridiculous....

I really couldn't care less about how the players are rated, I never really had a problem with that. The issue for me has always been how the teams are rated. There is not enough distinction between good and bad teams in previous NHL games. That's why the standings are often out of whack (the Islanders being a 1 or 2 seed and the Wings missing the playoffs for example).

Plus, if you get far enough into GM modes, teams are always 100-99-90 or something ridiculous.

good point. but we have to admit that player distinction as well as team differences should be in the game. in my previous BaGM (NHL 12), great teams such as Vancouver, Detroit, Washington missed the playoffs.

i did get into Year 4 (for straight 2 years did not sim any game) and find it freaking ridiculous that most teams are in the high 95 rating and some are in 100 either in offense or defense.

how realistic is that??? I HOPE EA WILL address these issues.

When Columbus is 90-93-84 in my 5th year, something must be fixed.
