I like how in ea sports nhl games no one has ever been a 99, including wayne gretzky, but then in the madden games, there are several guys every year ranked as 99.
Officer Doofie Absolutely... especially based on last year- he goes into possibly worse than Jimmy Howard territory. He played for a much better team last season and barely did better. That’s only talking current stats, but that’s what this game should be. Dubnyk should probably have started this year as an 80 at best. I could see giving Jarry an 84-85 instead.
Barzal's is only off by a couple points. Should be an 87 or 88. 86 is fine imo. Pelech is a great shutdown defenseman I heard, but he should only be in the low 80s because he doesn't have any offensive skill.
Brayden Point is criminally underrated at 88. Specifically because in EVERY skating category he’s behind Stamkos and Kucherov, despite being one of the fastest/best skaters in the league. He had an amazing season and was nothing short of incredible in the playoffs (even considered for the Conn Smythe)
Pelech at a 78. Was such a big impact on the Isles defense, and when he was hurt, they struggled to produce the same fire that they have with Pelech in the lineup.
@@i_am_blaziken1918 I’m a flyers fan, if you’ve watched the play, this dude literally has better edge work than McDavid, he’s actually insane and even beat McDavid at the skills como for speed

Some really bad ratings from my favorite team, the Islanders. Barzal 86: He is a star number for center. Noah Dobson 80: I really like Dobson I think he will be a star but he has not established himself in the nhl yet. Finally Adam Pelech 78: He is a top paring guy. Not a scorer but elite defensively.
In my opinion Quinn and Cale are two very similar and close players in skill, I think they both should be the same overall. Quinn could’ve easily taken the Calder this year too
@@ThasisKidSamurie What does that have to do with Makar though? Because Hughes plays on a worse team it means he should have won the Calder? Thats not how it works lol.
@@cloversurvival2003 It matters a little bit because they're already both pretty similar in production and the fact that Quinn did it with a worse team makes it more impressive
Speaking 100% facts. Especially about cramming ratings and players in the mid 80s. Most players are probably mid to upper 70s with top 6 forwards and top 4 defenseman being in the 80s, and then a few elite players being in the 90s. That would leave the mid to high 90s to players that are transcendent and on a franchise-changing level. Only a couple of those exist, per era.
That’s objectively false. Zib doesn’t create a lot of his own chances, and his g/gp was overinflated by that one 5 goal game, it’s not reflective of how he played throughout the rest of the season. 87 is fine for him.

@@terrencebobshea2300 Because for most of his career he's been a solid 2nd liner at best. One great season that wasn't even a full season shouldn't lead to overreacting and assuming he's now going to have a career-high every season. That's exactly the kind of thinking that leads to looking back on previous games and wondering why guys are rated so ridiculously high: because they had a career year and became overrated for the next 2-3 seasons. They *should* be conservative, ESPECIALLY for a guy having a career year at 27.
The problem with a 99 overall is that it would mean he is the best in every single aspect of the game. For example, McDavid is sub 50% on faceoffs, so he does not deserve a 99 overall faceoff rating. This is why a 99 overall player makes no sense. If the rating system was like NBA 2k then maybe, but not in the way that EA does player ratings.
That’s not how it works though. You don’t need a 99 in everything to get a 99 overall rating. Illogical, but that’s how it works. Certain attributes are more heavily weighted than others towards the overall. I will say, that is unless they completely changed it this year since I don’t have the new game... but they haven’t changed how they do their rating system for like 25 years.
Damn Luca, research your hot takes next time cause Makar has played fewer games. Hughes has played 73 regular season games, Makar has played 57. Even if we include playoffs, Hughes has played 90 games, Makar has played 82

He has 176 goals and 384 points in 548 career games. He's 27 years old. I don't understand this belief that every player who has a career year is now an elite superstar who is among the top-10 players in the league.

@@Canada24 I'm saying Olofsson is overrated. I'd probably want Kubalik at 82, although I wouldn't argue against 83. But Olofsson I'd have probably 81 or 82. Honestly, I wonder why you point out that Olofsson had less points without acknowledging that he had a better PPG. I get the argument that goals are a bit more indicative than assists because secondary assists can skew a point total, particularly in a small sample size... but... I'd probably have both guys as around 82 with top 9 - med potential. Maybe top 6 - low, because at their age it's not likely that they'll make any great strides. But it seems like it's better to have med than to "upgrade" to a higher ceiling but with low potential. I'd hate to add yet another variable to NHL because EA can barely handle all the shit they already have on their plate (let's be honest, "barely handle" is generous; they're dropping the ball left and right, especially in Be A GM mode), but I think it'd be interesting to have 2 potentials, ceiling and floor, so that a player could have an elite - low ceiling with a top 6 - med floor, but another guy could have elite - low ceiling but bottom 6 - low floor. As it stands, I have no idea how to value prospects. Does getting a guy with elite - low in the 7th really matter? Am I better off getting bottom 6 - med? Does elite - low mean he has something like a 5-10% chance of being elite, but over 50% chance of not even making the NHL? What does potential even mean? (Also, speaking of prospects and potential, and EA dropping the ball on Franchise mode... god, I hate not being able to edit in Franchise mode. EA moved Ovie to RW because he played ONE FUCKING SEASON at RW, yet we can't play a guy at RW for 10+ seasons and change it; he's still stuck listed as a C because he played C for 2 seasons back in juniors over a decade ago. And of course, Marvin Jones... from Poland. I get the argument for why we can only edit some things, but it's a dumb argument. Those American names from Hungary and Poland and Austria are really annoying, and ruins the game's immersion. And returning to the original point, I think being able to edit ratings *in franchise mode* would alleviate a lot of frustration when it comes to real player ratings. We'd be a lot more okay with wonky ratings/potentials if we could just start the game and tweak it as we go along, instead of having to spend fucking weeks fixing it before we can start our damn franchise.)
@@i_am_blaziken1918 I don’t think he needs either. I think Crosby should be a bit higher tho.

I'm getting this in my feed 3 months later, but Phil Kessel has had 99.5mph slap shot in a skills competition. No idea what he's doing out in Arizona in their competitions, but at least with the Leafs he's lighting it up.
If he played for a good team, I’d rate him about the same as I would now- 88 at best. The highest he’s ever been rated was like 91, and he’s definitely lost a step. He’s good still, but not tied for the best D in the league- it’s not even debate-able.
Matthews doesn't even have a top 10 wrist shot in the game, and if you compare his stats to Marner he barely has a better shot than Marner in the game. Anyone that watches the Leafs knows Marner's shooting stats should be maxed out at about 85 or less, but yet somehow he's on par with Matthews and has a better shot than Nylander.
He’s had 2 major injuries. Every other time he gets hit hard he gets right back up. At least from the games I’ve seen. I watched a good portion of Edmonton’s games this season. I couldn’t watch much Pittsburgh or Vegas because TSN doesn’t let me watch them

Honestly, I wonder why you point out that Olofsson had less points without acknowledging that he had a better PPG. I get the argument that goals are a bit more indicative than assists because secondary assists can skew a point total, particularly in a small sample size... but... I'd probably have both guys as around 82 with top 9 - med potential. Maybe top 6 - low, because at their age it's not likely that they'll make any great strides. But it seems like it's better to have med than to "upgrade" to a higher ceiling but with low potential.
I'd hate to add yet another variable to NHL because EA can barely handle all the shit they already have on their plate (let's be honest, "barely handle" is generous; they're dropping the ball left and right, especially in Be A GM mode), but I think it'd be interesting to have 2 potentials, ceiling and floor, so that a player could have an elite - low ceiling with a top 6 - med floor, but another guy could have elite - low ceiling but bottom 6 - low floor.
As it stands, I have no idea how to value prospects. Does getting a guy with elite - low in the 7th really matter? Am I better off getting bottom 6 - med? Does elite - low mean he has something like a 5-10% chance of being elite, but over 50% chance of not even making the NHL? What does potential even mean?
(Also, speaking of prospects and potential, and EA dropping the ball on Franchise mode... god, I hate not being able to edit in Franchise mode. EA moved Ovie to RW because he played ONE FUCKING SEASON at RW, yet we can't play a guy at RW for 10+ seasons and change it; he's still stuck listed as a C because he played C for 2 seasons back in juniors over a decade ago.
And of course, Marvin Jones... from Poland. I get the argument for why we can only edit some things, but it's a dumb argument. Those American names from Hungary and Poland and Austria are really annoying, and ruins the game's immersion.
And returning to the original point, I think being able to edit ratings *in franchise mode* would alleviate a lot of frustration when it comes to real player ratings. We'd be a lot more okay with wonky ratings/potentials if we could just start the game and tweak it as we go along, instead of having to spend fucking weeks fixing it before we can start our damn franchise.)
@@SchulzEricT Yeah I do think olofsson is overrated I was just saying olofsson is this rating kubalik should be that or even higher
I’m just gonna say this, Connor McDavid doesn’t need a 99
I’m an Oilers fan, and I agree. But I do think he should be a 96 or 97. Mainly 97 because it would give me a chuckle
@@i_am_blaziken1918 I don’t think he needs either. I think Crosby should be a bit higher tho. And I know people say that McDavid is better than Crosby but how can a player that was drafted in 2015 and not even have any Stanley Cups be better than a veteran player that has been in the league for 15 years and has 3 Stanley Cups and is still a top 5 player in the NHL. So I think Crosby should be like a 97 and McDavid a 96
@@jacksubasic8260 bro Crosby is not nearly as good as he use to be, he doesn’t deserve to even be in the conversation with people like McDavid for best current player.
You can’t look at Stanley Cup victories as a measure for individuals. Not everyone gets to play on a stacked penguins team, the Oilers kinda suck besides like 3 players.
@@brendan9868 yeah they do suck and they probably should get some better players so they can actually win with the 3 good players they have
@@brendan9868 and I know he’s not as good as he used to be but I still think Crosby should be higher and McDavid a bit lower
Can I send a rebuttal clip to Luca please?
When they smoothed the curve of overalls was a terrible decision. Now the difference between 2nd line player and your 13th forward is like 3 overall when it should 5+
Mika Zibanejad... practically carried NYR offense this season and they rated him basically the same as they did for nhl 20 and 19
Matthews only a 90 🙄
honestly 90 is perfect for him
@@KaleFGB definitely not, they literally have guys like Kane and Ovi higher. Also pasta and Eichel are both 91. Point is 89 petey is 89 Drai is 92. Their ratings are horrible. For centers the top 10 should be McDavid 95
Mackinnon 94
Crosby 93
Matthews 92
Point 91
Petey 91
Drai 91
Eichel 91
Malkin 90
ROR 90
@@justingray21 Now look at it from a skill perspective and NOT a bias perspective. A 90 is a solid rating. I don’t think Matthews is as good as people make him seem
What was Draisaitl rated as?
I'm getting this in my feed 3 months later, but Phil Kessel has had 99.5mph slap shot in a skills competition. No idea what he's doing out in Arizona in their competitions, but at least with the Leafs he's lighting it up.
The only reason people say Drews rating is bad because he plays for a bad team if He played for a better team people would say he’s at least a 90
If he played for a good team, I’d rate him about the same as I would now- 88 at best. The highest he’s ever been rated was like 91, and he’s definitely lost a step. He’s good still, but not tied for the best D in the league- it’s not even debate-able.
Idk man, he wasn’t even the best defensively on his team. He gives the puck away like it’s candy on Halloween.
matthews at 90 is also comical especially when you look at his shooting stats
Matthews doesn't even have a top 10 wrist shot in the game, and if you compare his stats to Marner he barely has a better shot than Marner in the game. Anyone that watches the Leafs knows Marner's shooting stats should be maxed out at about 85 or less, but yet somehow he's on par with Matthews and has a better shot than Nylander.
Shesterkin has the worst rating. He’s 86 when he’s only played 12 games
Are we going to see the Be a Pro Gretzky Challenge again in NHL 21?
The only reason Connor got a 95 is because the kids made of glass 😂
Sucks at faceoffs too
He’s had 2 major injuries. Every other time he gets hit hard he gets right back up. At least from the games I’ve seen. I watched a good portion of Edmonton’s games this season. I couldn’t watch much Pittsburgh or Vegas because TSN doesn’t let me watch them
Slavin is a top 5 D-Man in the league at 86. He deserves to be on this list more then McAvoy
Totally not salty about the playoffs
No mention for Kubalik too?
Individual stat that's wrong, Eichel speed not being a top 10 is nuts. Dude barely fell behind Barzal and McDavid in the speed competition
Quinn’s and Cale’s are fine.
The Rangers team overall is the second lowest. You’re telling me Detroit, SJS, LA, and NJ have better players? Blasphemy
Zibanejad at an 87 and Panarin at a 91 are jokes. Easily both should be +3 to their overalls based on past seasons
@@98littlemac Zibanejad was overrated every year of his career until now. This season is finally the first season his actual play is good enough to warrant the high rating he has.
what happened to the "Paying players to switch teams" video? did #9 actually sue?? lol
We need a quiz
Quinn hughes had the best rookie defensmen stats scince ray borque. Hes better
No he’s not. Makar had a better points per game percentage. He probably would’ve done it too had it not been for injuries
Only 1 player deserve a 99 and it's Gretzky. If McDavid score 200 points then we'll talk.
Yeah I'm fine with McDavid staying 95 since they always have the legend cards and stuff with Mario at 97 etc. I think the real issue is they need to give bad players worse ratings. Make the worst players in the NHL like a 60. Make bad junior players like a 20.
I’M AN OILERS FAN AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS.............. fair enough
Where does Luca get those fireeeee wrasslin shirts
I noticed this I started a franchise mode and it was just ridiculous
1st and todays my 19 birthday
Happy B-day
The hate on the canucks still goes on even when you guys compliment us smt my head😔
The Dubnyk-Jones part hurt as a Sharks fan... but he right doe.
ive seen almost every yotes game this year and never saw kessel take a single slap shot
