Why do people lose their minds over overall number? The overall isn't everything

Some reactions to these reveals have been crazy. I think they've been decent, right guys are getting recognition, and at least they're reacting to players having good seasons eg. Josi, Hudler, Tarasenko. Especially Josi's rating came as a surprise, as they seem to have been really slow on giving ratings boosts to defenders in the past.

That's decent ratings but Malkin should stay at 92..

6. Getzlaf - 92

Since its all around and Getzlaf is better than Tavares/Seguin offensively, defensively, and physically I hope he is not #6.

Better than Tavares/Seguin offensively? That's a stretch.

Fire away

 

[Wooren]

D.Sedin should have been above Sharp. (Which means Sharp shouldn't be top 10)

 

[KlefDown]

Hall got what he deserved.
Anything less than 90 for him would be criminal.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Ovi only got a 93, the same as Ryan Suter FFS.

Oh, and they really made him look like a caveman this year:

Maybe cause he looks like a caveman in real life too

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Maybe cause he looks like a caveman in real life too

He's ugly as ****, but he doesn't look that stupid

Oh, and Patrick Sharp being rated an 88 is a complete joke. Just one less than Pacioretty, who scored more than twice as many goals and never played on the 4th line last year.

 

[Shrimper]

Oh, and they really made him look like a caveman this year:

You can't compare the 93 rating of a LW to a 93 rating of a D.

 

[The Great Weal]

Sharp should not be there. And OV should be 95 IMO.

 

[EK47]

Something needs to be done about the player ratings this is reaching Madden levels.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

You can't compare the 93 rating of a LW to a 93 rating of a D.

Still, we're talking about the Rocket winner, only 50 goal scorer in the game, runner up to the Hart & Lindsay. He's a clear cut above the rest. If you make him a 93, then the other wingers should have their ratings bumped down.

Defensive awareness stat effects overalls the most, Ovechkins stats will be higher then other wingers even if doesn't reflect in his overall which is not the # you should look at in comparing players in this game.

Still, he was a 93 overall after coming off a -35 year. He's improved a lot defensively this year, I thought his improvement would bump him to a 94 or 95. Oh well, he's still OP in the game.

Yes, he deserves a better rating, he is the best sniper in the game. Ive place him at 94 but he is a 93 probably because of his defensive category

 

[Anomie2029]

Marleau probably should be rated that high, IMO.

He had a pretty poor year and his 88 rating is the same as what Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton had for NHL 15 by the last update.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yep... gonna need to do a lot of overall editing.

 

[Addison Rae]

Daniel Sedin was 9th in NHL scoring, and he doesn't crack the top 10 in EA left winger ratings? Criminal

 

[ThePsychicSaw]

Yep... gonna need to do a lot of overall editing.

Can we?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Daniel Sedin was 9th in NHL scoring, and he doesn't crack the top 10 in EA left winger ratings? Criminal

But Patrick Sharp does

EA has a love affair with everything Hawks related.

EA has always loved Sharp more than they should.
