I tend to keep CAPs in the 75-80 range until they put up results at the NHL level, I may be overrating their best attributes, but the game isn't fun unless there is skill variance.
I used a number of sources to rate my CAPs, such as hockeysfuture, Dobber Hockey, articles on players from team and fan sites, fan scouting reports, and when desperate hfboards discussions.
Also, my first roster edit was to bring up to date to opening day. When roster sharing is available, they'll be up to date.
in the EA rosters, the AHL is a mess. There is a ton of player turnover every year due to the age restrictions and while many players come in from the CHL, many others come from other leagues and a bunch come in from the NCAA, usually I need to create 5-10 players per team, and re-rate all the players graduating from the CHL and other leagues.
I'd love to see the KHL in the game, not sure how feasible that is. If the editing capabilities were at the same level as NBA2K, we could create the KHL, but alas, no dice.

I have no issue with your CAPS, I did a lot of reading on scouting reports, but just 2 days worth, lol. NHL 20 was my last hockey game, I do a couple of Fantasy hockey leagues, but every year it seems 20-30% of the players in the NHL and AHL, I have no idea who they are. Your hockey knowledge is WAY higher than mine. Been watching the Sharks since their inception. I play all video game sports, and having correct rosters is a must. So, I rely on the knowledge of others, concerning hockey, like yourself that enjoy having correct attributes and the correct players where they should be.
Question, are you dealing with players equipment, type of slap shot, things other than attributes, height, weight etc., when creating players? Do you bother with it? I started creating a player based on your CAPS and realized there was too much other info I did not know, so I didn't bother. I'm sure your CAPS are fine. Roster sharing will be a great addition, December?
Maybe the 4 players I mentioned that are not found anywhere, will be in the next update. Going to check/compare the AHL rosters to move anyone a little later, when the Sharks game is over, lol, then actually start playing, lol!
Thanks for replying.
Update: So after a few days of checking the AHL and ECHL rosters, I've made a ton of changes, not attribute edits, but just player placement, the EA rosters are reasonably correct, kind of a mess, appear to be a year or 2 outdated. Highly doubt the EA NHL roster people are going to change much from the AHL down like I'm doing. Taking way too long though, lots of research, going down alphabetically in the AHL, they are now 99% accurate but I've only finished 10 teams, lol. I can't stop, lol. Have all the moves documented up to Cleveland, stopped doing that now, just making the changes, too many to note on here.
