Jaccob Slavin is the most underrated defenseman in the NHL. He has been better than Faulk the last 2 seasons and still is a no namer to most. On NHL network they did a re draft for the 2012 defenseman class. Both analysts picked Slavin #1 overall over the likes of Trouba, Lindholm, and Reilly. When will this guy ever get noticed?
I'm a Rangers fan and I think Jaccob Slavin, along with the rest of the defensive core of Carolina, is absolutely lit. Slavin, Faulk, Pesce, Hanafin omg yes
Officer Nipple Mittens Jr. I disagree NHL notices him but I follow hockey very closely and even I didn't know Slavin was better than Faulk. My point is that the average hockey fan will not know the Jaccob Slavin is an elite defensemen
Ok I was about to pre order NHL 18 young stars edition.. it said 1 gold plus pack per week for 20 weeks.. why can't I get them all at the start?????? @TacTixHD
Guys that should be 95 or higher overall not including goalies: McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, Kane, Backstrom, Ovechkin, Karlsson, Burns. Hedman, Guys that should be 90 or higher: Getzlaf, Marchand, Kucherov, Tarasenko, Stamkos, Scheifele, Seguin, Benn, D.Keith, Doughty, Matthews, Laine, Tavares, Josi, Subban, Byfuglien, R.Suter, If u disagree,fair enough. There is a bunch of players close to being 90 or higher but need either more consistency or another strong season.
yeah i'm well aware of that nimrod, hence why i said "should be interesting to see what the ratings are when the game comes out though..." please read the full comment before replying to me.
Scarce Is Not Fat Parise is way better than toews but fuckin EA pays no fucking attention to the real world there so focused on how they perform on and NHL 17
Auston Matthews, the Calder Trophy-winning rookie-of-the-year last season, finishing top 5 in goals scored with 40, scored 4 of them in his NHL debut, breaking a Maple Leafs record, and he's only an 83?!? Can EA ever do something right with these games?
I always edit the overalls of the players anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. First line-high 80s (87 and up), second- 85-87, third- 82-84 and fourth line- 81 and lower. Top 2 dman- 88-up, top 4- 84-87, top 6- 83-lower. Also depends on age and if they had a breakout year. I take probably a good 2-3 hours going through every team and making changes including roster moves, player types, and rookies. Hope this helps anyone else who might try to do the same thing. I've definitely made the most realistic NHL game I've ever done this year.
If the ratings are this low, as weird as it seems, it actually might be alright. In my opinion, this could leave more breathing room for upgraded cards throughout the year. Also, EA could be looking towards making their cards kind of like MLB, in the sense of players getting better based on individual performance. Just my opinion. I'm currently enjoying the beta.
301videos yeah Matthews' overall had me confused too. There's probably going to be changes though. He should be at least 86 or higher if the ratings are lower this year.
If these ratings are final I'm gonna have a problem dropping 60 dollars to watch quick be as good as price... and Matthews is 83 why.. and I don't think that Kane should be as good as Crosby
WHY DID THE CHANGE THE POKE CHECK AND STICK LIFT BUTTONS ON HYBRID CONTROLS?! I've been playing NHL on hybrid control for years and now they just change up the buttons, I'm having a very hard time adapting to these control changes!
Look at Matthews' card stats on GM mode in NHL 17 and compare them to this they are the same they just made the overall lower for no reason also the top 50 haven't came out so these aren't final at all like so people and tactix can see don't panick boys
TacTixHD why is marx shieflce srry if did not spell it right but how is he a 85 he had a great season he scored 82 points this season should be a 89/90 ovr and why is laine and matthews should be at least 89 mathews and laine 88 for
These can't be final ratings.. no way eichel is an 83... also carrier isn't on our team anymore.. he got drafted by the knights, and kulikov is on winnipeg
I like that they're finally toning down the ratings but man... EA need to fire everybody that works for NHL department. FIFA is such a better game that you wouldn't guess both are made by the same company. And Gardiner is better than Rielly lol.. But yeah, ratings aside, even the gameplay and mechanics are horrible. Not to mention, their game modes are repetitive and outdated.
Hope you guys enjoyed the video! THE RATINGS ARE NOT FINAL! I'm sure they'll be more accurate in the full game :) twitter.com/EASPORTSNHL/status/890283795387006977
TacTixHD if you didn't read the article I read (I forget which website wrote it) , they basically interviewed one of the game's developers and the developer said they widened the span of ratings so there is potential for bigger differences rating wise. They said they changed the span of "Nhl ready" players from 80-95 to 73-95. This is probably why you are seeing lower ratings for players who were higher last year.
Crosby better than Kane and Marner and Matthews need to be better and what the hell u think Reilly is better than Gardiner no way I like Reilly but Gardiner deserves at least a 84 with these horrible ratings
In nba 2k there these things called intangibles which don't affect how the player plays but they affect the overall so that might be why their stats don't necessarily correspond with their overall.
I 1,000,000,000,000% agree with everything you said! I saw a sneak peek at the ratings on Instagram and saw Matthews as an 83 and thought it was fake. I have a feeling things may be changed a bit before the official release. Keep spreading your thoughts on it and it will hopefully get EA's attention.
Quick is as good as price cuz of the injury and they didn't really see him play ( I'm a kings fan and it hurt , the amount of shit you talked about quick was really heartbreaking for a kings fan)
Dawson Stewart lol what are you smoking. Price is in a whole different league then Quick, and Holtby, Lundqvist and arguably Talbot and Rask are all better.
Talbot isnt better than Quick and if he is it's because of McDavid , Rask is not as good as Quick but I worded it wrong Lundqvist , Holtby and Price are all better. Just give quick another season and your opinion may change!
Max Brown you’re stupid how many cups does price have? How many times has he been to the Stanley Cup final, or even the conference finals.......I’ll wait?
As a person that has played a lot of FHM where the ratings are all skewed low where the only 5star(90+) players are the best of the best. Crosby, Karlsson there are only 15 or so players that would be rated 88 or above. This is good, leaving more room at the top helps really differenciate between elite, truly elite, and absolutely generational.
McDavid - should be highest rated player in the game Lucic - should be 84-85 Drai- should be atleast an 87 even an 88 Nuge - should is ok I guess I would even have him at an 82 Eberle- I know he's not an oiler but he should be fucking 75 the guys sucks Larsson- should be 83 Klefbom- should be 84 and maybe even 85 Why tf didn't you show Talbots rating that what I want to know, but he should be 86-87 or even higher EA IS SHIT
Lightbulb do you watch Crosby? He is a 200 foot player 100% of the time not just the odd shift he is a better player and does not have to use speed to get points
Pastrnak: 34 goals and 36 assists for 70 points in 75 games.
82 overall
IKR, Should be at least 84
85
...😑
100
Damn, scoring a solid 70 points will get you a 83 overall!!!
Good job EA
I bet you all can't wait to hear my commentary in NHL 18👍
Mike Emrick nope
Fidget Spinner 😞
Mike Emrick
Dont worry, i wanna hear ya!
Mike Emrick I'm a fan don't worry
*cough cough* wigggss *cough*
THESE ARE NHL 17 OVERALLS EVERYONE IS JUST 3 OVERALL LOWER I REPEAT THESE ARE NOT NEW OVERALLS
LAAN407 kane would be a 91 then so would toews and benn
Bruh they better not be the actual ratings
ikr
They're not final
Nick Gordon SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Nick Gordon there probably putting them lower so they have more room to put special cards
these seem like possible hut ratings
Jaccob Slavin is the most underrated defenseman in the NHL. He has been better than Faulk the last 2 seasons and still is a no namer to most. On NHL network they did a re draft for the 2012 defenseman class. Both analysts picked Slavin #1 overall over the likes of Trouba, Lindholm, and Reilly. When will this guy ever get noticed?
Robert Smith I'm a Hurricanes fan and I agree there's a reason he got a 7 year extension
I'm a Rangers fan and I think Jaccob Slavin, along with the rest of the defensive core of Carolina, is absolutely lit. Slavin, Faulk, Pesce, Hanafin omg yes
Gh0stBustaz11 yea our top 4 is gonna be one of the best in a few years
Officer Nipple Mittens Jr. I disagree NHL notices him but I follow hockey very closely and even I didn't know Slavin was better than Faulk. My point is that the average hockey fan will not know the Jaccob Slavin is an elite defensemen
He'll get noticed once he's off the Canes
If they don't up the rating I'm not getting nhl 18
Hockey2323 ya good idea wasn't thinking of that thx.
Hockey2323 But nobody has time for that lol
Hockey2323 Your probably right, but I don't want to spend two hours correcting ea's stupid mistakes.
Knix92 I don't think they're necessarily mistakes, in 17 certain stats were weighted incredibly high such as def awareness/off awareness
the only reason ea still makes nhl games is because they have no competition, and we are forced to buy their shit product every year
Ok I was about to pre order NHL 18 young stars edition.. it said 1 gold plus pack per week for 20 weeks.. why can't I get them all at the start?????? @TacTixHD
These ratings aren't anywhere near final
I'm actually happy that you would bring this up in a video because I was very confused with these overalls just like a lot of people were
Why is Suter still better than karlsson
Matthew Pham SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Guys in nhl 18 if u score with Patrick Kane and hold down on the y or triangle button u get a special celebration like so tactixs can see
TacTixHD all the ratings are from the previous game minus 3 overall pointsDefinitely not final
I thought so too, but that's just the majority, not all
Ross Culy SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 2-4 pts. It is not final.
What does he have against Jonathan Quick? This isnt the first time he has dissed Quick either
This is the BETA. This isn't final. Calm your shit everyone lol
exactly
Me yeah. It's going to be nhl 17 with players chewing their mouthguards. Still people will buy it
Guys that should be 95 or higher overall not including goalies: McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, Kane, Backstrom, Ovechkin, Karlsson, Burns. Hedman,
Guys that should be 90 or higher: Getzlaf, Marchand, Kucherov, Tarasenko, Stamkos, Scheifele, Seguin, Benn, D.Keith, Doughty, Matthews, Laine, Tavares, Josi, Subban, Byfuglien, R.Suter,
If u disagree,fair enough. There is a bunch of players close to being 90 or higher but need either more consistency or another strong season.
How is Scott darling a 77 overall he is 6 feet six and 232 pounds he should be at least an 80 overall
but 2 Stanley cups for Quick, how many for Price?
these ratings are bonkers man, should be interesting to see what the ratings are when the game comes out though lol
nexushockeyHD SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
yeah i'm well aware of that nimrod, hence why i said "should be interesting to see what the ratings are when the game comes out though..." please read the full comment before replying to me.
It's funny looking back on this especially with players like Hellbyuk at a 79
Connor Brown had 20 goals last season and had 168 points in his final year of junior and has ahl top 6 potential. He played 82 games this season too
He has 128 points but I agree that's quite idiotic
Zach Fucale oh I read that wrong on the website I saw it on
Soooo ovi is equal to Jonathan toews and nicklas backstrom is worse than jonathan toews according to EA
Scarce Is Not Fat SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Scarce Is Not Fat Parise is way better than toews but fuckin EA pays no fucking attention to the real world there so focused on how they perform on and NHL 17
Scarce Is Not Fat lmao ur profile is awesome
Scarce Is Not Fat you're forgetting how good Jonathan toews is
ChaOs DeMon but toews is still good
This is the nhl 3s ratings the actual ratings will be released later
Ryan McDonagh being only 86 overall is blasphemy, there is no way shattenkirk should be rated higher.
Auston Matthews, the Calder Trophy-winning rookie-of-the-year last season, finishing top 5 in goals scored with 40, scored 4 of them in his NHL debut, breaking a Maple Leafs record, and he's only an 83?!? Can EA ever do something right with these games?
Dylan Hope ikr
Dylan Hope sounds right
Dylan Hope And Laine too :O
Gamer Hamer don't compare Laine to Matthews 😂😂
Charlie VillaGOD Yeah sorry. Laine is much better. How did i even compare Laine to Matthews :OO
I'm a leaf fan, but even if your not, Matthews got 40 goals this season as a ROOKIE. He should be at least be an 86
Julien Venezia *90
Love your vids tactix👍
I don't think Keith deserves a 90 he deserves a 88/89 but these aren't the final ratings ;)
I always edit the overalls of the players anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. First line-high 80s (87 and up), second- 85-87, third- 82-84 and fourth line- 81 and lower. Top 2 dman- 88-up, top 4- 84-87, top 6- 83-lower. Also depends on age and if they had a breakout year. I take probably a good 2-3 hours going through every team and making changes including roster moves, player types, and rookies. Hope this helps anyone else who might try to do the same thing. I've definitely made the most realistic NHL game I've ever done this year.
Joseph Mariacher SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
eichel being 83 is generous, he has 2 50 point seasons.
If the ratings are this low, as weird as it seems, it actually might be alright. In my opinion, this could leave more breathing room for upgraded cards throughout the year. Also, EA could be looking towards making their cards kind of like MLB, in the sense of players getting better based on individual performance. Just my opinion. I'm currently enjoying the beta.
PuckLuck10 especially in like franchise it gives players room to progress , it's not like players got robbed it's more everyone's overall went low
Its Tylrr yeah definitely. A few players could be higher but they will probably change it before release. This could end up making the game better imo
PuckLuck10 I agree but Mathews is better than most of the other 83 and others...
301videos yeah Matthews' overall had me confused too. There's probably going to be changes though. He should be at least 86 or higher if the ratings are lower this year.
This is the nhl 3s ratings the actual ratings will be released later
I'm gonna have to manually change everything if they stay like this
I'll believe the ratings when the rosters are updated. Like the Coyotes having Doan, Smith, and Datsyuk still... lol.
Brady skjei is not a 77 he had 40 points and played solid d all year
Also in MLB the show 15 Mike trout was young and still had a 99 overall...
I know these ratings are going to change, but if Toews gets 90 or above again, I'm gonna flip out.
Eichel was 12th in the league in PPG and is only an 83 WTF!!!!! DOES EA WATCH HOCKEY?! LMAO
Randy Moser I admit eichel should be way higher rated but 12th in Ppg isn't that great
Randy Moser they are nhl 3s ratings
isnt that great? he isn't in the top 100 players in the game. He's top 12 in PPG meaning he should at least be top 20 rated imo...
Randy Moser have you found out yet that these ratings arent final? Dumbass
those lower ratings are also in the online versus...
If these ratings are final I'm gonna have a problem dropping 60 dollars to watch quick be as good as price... and Matthews is 83 why.. and I don't think that Kane should be as good as Crosby
I'm creating my own rosters...
You haven't watched Galchenyuk play. He is not overrated.
How you get the beta cole?
WHY DID THE CHANGE THE POKE CHECK AND STICK LIFT BUTTONS ON HYBRID CONTROLS?! I've been playing NHL on hybrid control for years and now they just change up the buttons, I'm having a very hard time adapting to these control changes!
Look at Matthews' card stats on GM mode in NHL 17 and compare them to this they are the same they just made the overall lower for no reason also the top 50 haven't came out so these aren't final at all like so people and tactix can see don't panick boys
"Pasternak is better than Galchenyuk" what the hell are you talking about
Frans neilsen= jack eichel in this game.. WTF
Bills Mafia SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Bills Mafia they are nhl 3s ratings
Leo Komarov NHL 3s ratings = HUT ratings = Offline ratings.
Leo Komarov ohhh ok
There is no way in heck Braun is the same as MATTHEWS
I just realized everyone's overalls went down by 3 besides goalies
Jay Beagle it was either down by 2 or 3
Wait since Werenski doesn't have a face, does that mean he's still not in HUT smh...
Hopefully they'll add it but the real release
TacTixHD why is marx shieflce srry if did not spell it right but how is he a 85 he had a great season he scored 82 points this season should be a 89/90 ovr and why is laine and matthews should be at least 89 mathews and laine 88 for
KingSavage OP This is the nhl 3s ratings the actual ratings will be released later
lmao you hella butchered his name
How is the Vezina winner only 87... wtf
I'm a sabres fan so I'm probably biased but eichel an 83? Lol wtf
Beechey SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Legit dude, I'm wondering why the hell he's rated as high as Matthews. I would bump Eichel up 2 and Matthews up 4.
Michael Thorton bump eichel and matthews up 4
You do realize these are NHL 17 overalls just adjusted right?
These can't be final ratings.. no way eichel is an 83... also carrier isn't on our team anymore.. he got drafted by the knights, and kulikov is on winnipeg
Bills Mafia SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Not updated rosters
It's a beta. They're not the final ratings. Besides, I always edit the ratings myself because EA only updates HUT.
I like that they're finally toning down the ratings but man... EA need to fire everybody that works for NHL department. FIFA is such a better game that you wouldn't guess both are made by the same company. And Gardiner is better than Rielly lol.. But yeah, ratings aside, even the gameplay and mechanics are horrible. Not to mention, their game modes are repetitive and outdated.
You should make a draft of only sniper
These are the NHL 3s ratings not the actual ratings. The actual ratings will be released latrr
Sabres Spoonz37 phew 😅
SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
These won't be the hut ratings tho
Idk why he is hating on towes so much towes is a elite player yes he doesn't put up that many points but he is a very good all around player
Ryan B I agree
Hope you guys enjoyed the video! THE RATINGS ARE NOT FINAL! I'm sure they'll be more accurate in the full game :) twitter.com/EASPORTSNHL/status/890283795387006977

TacTixHD nice video! :)
TacTixHD Keep up the good work👍🏻
TacTixHD HOW I GET THE BETA
TacTixHD who do yiu think should have the best rating?
DID THEY INSTALL A vote kick out or something to get rid of the trolls on 6vs6
You should probably know the ratings will go up....
How did u go there? Like I pre ordered it but I can't download till September 9
Crosby better than Kane and Marner and Matthews need to be better and what the hell u think Reilly is better than Gardiner no way I like Reilly but Gardiner deserves at least a 84 with these horrible ratings
And where are the new pictures. I don't want to have a werenski or Zaitzev or guentzel with no pictures.
If Malkin isn't atleast a 90 I'm not getting this game
Thank god he's a 90!
In nba 2k there these things called intangibles which don't affect how the player plays but they affect the overall so that might be why their stats don't necessarily correspond with their overall.
Why the hell is monahan not a 85 that's crap
Odlar Z SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Odlar Z hie should at least be an 86-87 he is the sixth youngest player to get 100 goals
TacTixHD can you tell me a beta code for the threes please and where to entree them?
how the fuck is seabrook 87
should be an 82 if Hanifin is 80
Do the Blues' defencemen actually play on their one-timer side? Or did EA put them on their wrong side
Man the person who made the ratings was either really high or has never seen an NHL game in his life like srsly...
stevecrushers SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Not looking like I want this game. Do you know if they up the ratings when the full game comes out.
These might just be the beta overalls...?
Possibly, still strange ratings imo
If i remember right in some older NHL games the ratings were low too like in NHL 13.
YOOOOOOOOO. IM GONNA TRY THE DATSYUK WITH PAVEL DATSYUK
Adam B do ittt
I 1,000,000,000,000% agree with everything you said! I saw a sneak peek at the ratings on Instagram and saw Matthews as an 83 and thought it was fake. I have a feeling things may be changed a bit before the official release. Keep spreading your thoughts on it and it will hopefully get EA's attention.
Nhl 18 whole game is thras player ratings and especially game play😝 hopefuly that change when actual game comes out😑
It's there awareness is a forward has low offensive awareness then they have a lower overall same for defensemen
Quick is as good as price cuz of the injury and they didn't really see him play ( I'm a kings fan and it hurt , the amount of shit you talked about quick was really heartbreaking for a kings fan)
Dawson Stewart lol what are you smoking. Price is in a whole different league then Quick, and Holtby, Lundqvist and arguably Talbot and Rask are all better.
Talbot isnt better than Quick and if he is it's because of McDavid , Rask is not as good as Quick but I worded it wrong Lundqvist , Holtby and Price are all better. Just give quick another season and your opinion may change!
Quick Is one of the best goalie when healthy and hey has to 2 cups and was MVP
Max Brown you’re stupid how many cups does price have? How many times has he been to the Stanley Cup final, or even the conference finals.......I’ll wait?
Brett Tinkler Price is on a shitty team bro put him on the LA Kings and he would have been better than your Quick xD
How do you think these rankings affect HUT? Can these rankings change before the game actually comes out with the roster updates?
Wtf is that Matthews rating....smh ea
Crosby is better than Kane Crosby should be an 93 and mcdavid 89. The top 2 players should be Crosby with a 93 and mcdavid with a 92
McDavid is also better than Kane and arguably better than Crosby. Crosby and McDavid should be 93 Kane should be 92.
Marchand should should be a 91 he got robbed
DA KRAZY DONKEY marchand 90 pasternak 87
id give marchand an 89 probably, with the lowest discipline rating
I’m watching this at the beginning of the 18-19 season why was Carter Hutton a 73?
First comment please tactix
Why are the blackhawks lines still wrong, Panik is Right wing and the first line was Schmaltz-Toews-Panik
This could all be fixed had they added a roster sharing feature 🐸 ☕️
yup, just look at 2k, it works so well in that game
lickjo No, no it does not at all work, half of the downloads are game crashing shit, have you played 2K?
As a person that has played a lot of FHM where the ratings are all skewed low where the only 5star(90+) players are the best of the best. Crosby, Karlsson there are only 15 or so players that would be rated 88 or above. This is good, leaving more room at the top helps really differenciate between elite, truly elite, and absolutely generational.
I got a beta code!! YES!
Hotnoodles87 can I get one of your extras?
Hotnoodles87 mines taking forever to download
+Zach Simonson 2h 15m for me
Ewan Zinchuk mine took 30mins to download
Hotnoodles87 same bro
wonder if McDavid can reach 95 or high after a year or 2 in franchise mode
QUICK IS AS GOOD!
Agreed
Yes!
Omg ya go kings!
Agnik Kannan-Vigneault Nope quick is not better that rinne, holtby etc.
Savupatonki L
If I signed up for the beta how do I get my code ?
Hall is an 87
How?
Lewis Leibo SMH they just lowered every1's NHL 17 rating by 3-4 pts. It is not final.
Did ea Canada watch NHL hockey last year
McDavid - should be highest rated player in the game
Lucic - should be 84-85
Drai- should be atleast an 87 even an 88
Nuge - should is ok I guess I would even have him at an 82
Eberle- I know he's not an oiler but he should be fucking 75 the guys sucks
Larsson- should be 83
Klefbom- should be 84 and maybe even 85
Why tf didn't you show Talbots rating that what I want to know, but he should be 86-87 or even higher
EA IS SHIT
Crosby is better than McDoofus
AC/DC Back in Black no just no
Mcdavid is not near Crosby yet bud
Lightbulb his defence isn't there
Lightbulb do you watch Crosby? He is a 200 foot player 100% of the time not just the odd shift he is a better player and does not have to use speed to get points
Will HUT cards have lower ratings like in the older games
Phil kessel 86? Fuck he's the best player in the league sickest snappers in the league
Ezk_17 best player in the league. I like him but he's nothing compared to mcdavid Crosby Patrick Kane and the list goes on and on
I notice in this video with the potential have they got rid of the low, mid and high part of there potential?
