NHL 14 Player Ratings - Top 50 Players (#41-50 Revealed)

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports will reveal the Top 50 rated players in NHL 14 this week. Every day this week, ten new players will have their ratings unveiled as we count down to the best overall player in NHL 14. Today EA reveals the top 41 through 50.

Quote:

Although each player will receive an initial rating when the game launches in two weeks’ time, NHL 14 features Dynamic Ratings Updates, so the player’s performance in the real world results in changes to their in-game ratings.

• 50. D. Girardi (NYR) – OVR 88
• 49. J. Voracek (PHI) – OVR 88
• 48, M. Pacioretty (MTL) – OVR 88
• 47. D. Byfuglien (WPG) – OVR 88
• 46. D. Doughty (LAK) – OVR 88
• 45. P. Sharp (CHI) – OVR 88
• 44. J. Benn (DAL) – OVR 88
• 43. R. Getzlaf (ANA) – OVR 88
• 42. J. Carter (LAK) – OVR 88
• 41. E. Staal (CAR) – OVR 88

Dynamic ratings aside, on what planet is Drew Doughty ranked the same as Byfuglien and Girardi... Doughty is a top 5-8 dman in the league.

Voracek is still a sniper

From that list, only Staal, Getzlaf and Doughty deserve to be an 88. Other players are all overrated by at least 1 or 2. No doubt that this year's ratings will be way higher than last year. In fact, it was already quite obvious after looking at ratings in the demo and now it's confirmed after looking at those. Personally, I don't really like having that many players with a 88+ rating.

Yeah it sets apart the difference between a superstar and a star. I also think that the ratings still should be decreased to show the difference. EA needs to decrease some of the ratings, so we can differentiate between a great player and an okay player.

Maybe for a grinder 4th line (66-70's). 3rd Liners should be mid 70s and then 2nd liners should change, I really don't like the ratings that EA puts.

Hey guys. I just posted the Revamped Rosters' #41-50 in its own thread. Go check it out.

As for EA's ratings, I agree with the posters above me. They are going to be too high I think.

I dont mind these ratings if they are based on individual skills. Is Doughty a better Defenseman than Giradi? Offensively without a doubt. Few Defenseman in the NHL play defense and block shots better than Giradi. So if that means that these guys are both 88's but Drew is way better than Giradi at Offense (and Giradi better at D) than Im fine with them both being an 88 overall.

This has always bothered me. People put too much stock into overalls. It's the individual ratings, if they work properly, that matter most.
