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

[TommyWizard]

Kind of shocked to see that #50 is 88 overall.
Is it safe to assume then that Crosby is likely a 98 then because all those players seem very over valued. Unless they've tweaked the GM Mode thats going to be very difficult in the likes of Pittsburgh to sustain the likes of Crosby / Malkin / Fluery / Letang etc.

You know the ratings are spot on when guys have nearly every number the same for a category.
Just browsing through the EA site and Carter and Sharp both have 88's for all 4 puck skills ratings and guys have nearly the same ratings for wrist and slap shots.
It looks like it literally took them 30 seconds to come up with these.

I've always disliked this as well. This will not be the case in the Revamped Rosters. EA had one scout contribute to their ratings. The Revamped team uses scouting reports from 3 different websites as well as career stats to determine player ratings. Since players progress too much and too quickly, we scaled down player potential. We use potential ratings from Hockey's Future to determine players' potentials.

And we don't get paid for this. We do it out of love for the game.

You have no idea how much this annoys me. It's just lazy.

Why don't we wait and see how the dynamic ratings feature plays out. Not like the ratings play that big of a role in the game.

Since I play BaGM exclusively, this feature has no meaning for me. For online players it will though.

As I said though, ratings don't have enough of an effect to get so worked up about anyways. Neither do sliders sadly or this games faults could possibly be atoned for.

i applaud your faith in EA savoei....how i wish i have the same optimism like you

This is the reason why this game play is far from real NHL. Same players play the same way, team play the same way.

How I wish there's another company that could emerge and compete against EA.
