They did, in response to Baumgarnter being rated 1 over all, I think it was NHL94 or 95. High Score Productions which was an internal team at EA at the time was the developer. Players complained to the NHLPA and they weren't happy about it. I had read an article years ago with sources, can't for the life of me find it now though unfortunately.

I remember reading that as well.
I think Shawn Chambers was rated a 1 or 2 as well. In fact, IGN did a whole article about it and even had video of them trying to score a goal with Chambers. It was really funny.

But to answer your question Splitter77, the NHLPA were the ones that stepped in and forced EA to make sure no NHL player was ranked below a certain grade.
