So EA says Drew Doughty is all the kings have back there. He does everything for them.

Why is Paul Gaustad listed as a left winger? He is a faceoff specialist center who led the Predators in faceoff win percentage last year (57%).

And it doesn't make much sense for Jonathon Blum to be the Predators' second-highest-rated defenseman (81 overall) when he spent the majority of last season in the AHL.

These ratings are a Joke. I'm a Kings fan so I will only compare players on the Kings to each other.

Doughty an 88 I guess I can accept due to his lack of consistency last season.
Mitchell an 81? Are you Kidding me? He was a shut down defender in the playoffs and was much better than Greene and Scuderi. At least give him an 84. I will say if Doughty, Voynov, and Marintinez are a little lower because defenders are rated based on defensive attributes I'm fine with that because all of them are puck moving offensive defensemen.

Now for the forwards, the biggest joke of all is Gagne an 86. I like Gagne, but come on EA he isn't better than Brown and Williams and is no where near as good as Carter.

How in the world is Kopitar worse than Richards? I love Richards but Kopitar an 86 overall is horrible. I wouldn't put him at 90, but 88 seems about right for him.

Kyle Clifford and Colin Fraser being rated higher than Nolan, Lewis, and King is a joke as well. All three of those guys could easily be a 75. I'm not asking for everyone on the Kings to get a bump in ratings just a couple guys and lower guys like Gagne, Clifford, and Fraser.

The only thing that would make these rating okay for the kings would be to have decent potential for Voynov, Martinez, Nolan, Lewis, and King. The worst part is EA never gives good potential to guys like these. They aren't big name guys who play for a super popular team. I bet Loktionov is going to be about a 67 overall with a C potential.

EA Vancouver....hmmmm. The Vancouver Canucks a team that has NEVER won anything, THAT is the team they deemed the best in hockey? Best overall in the game to a team that
is getting a bigger rep for choking than anything else these days just reeks of home cooking.

As others have said, these ratings are atrocious! I still don't understand how they determine overalls this year. It seems all over the place.

And the continued homerism for the Canucks is getting increasingly annoying every year, EA. I suppose Cory Schneider will be the highest rated goalie in NHL 14, huh?

Its typical they always stack up the Canucks ratings because we are the "home" team and just because we win the presidents trophy which I think is worthless if we can't get past the first round of the playoffs. Honestly the offensive rating is pretty good but our defense rating is a bit or maybe too high and goaltending well we already know about that. I'm not hating on my own team I just think due to our inconsistency our stats shouldn't be as high as they are.

Puckhead is going to fix the ratings. He just needs our help. Check out his thread in the Rosters section.

As for the ratings themselves... jeez!!!
