This isn't about prospects per se, but I'm borrowing this thread because it's on the topic of editing players. Maybe you've come across this problem when editing prospects too ...
When editing defenseman, anyone noticed how the overall when editing a player is one number, but everywhere else the number is different?
For example, Josh Manson is listed as an 84 overall in all the menu's, but when you "open him up" he's an 81 overall. Meanwhile, a more offensive defenseman such as Cale Makar is listed as an 85 overall, but when you edit him he's an 86.
In my opinion, defensive attributes has had too big of an impact on the overall numbers for many years now, while puck skills had too little of an impact. In his prime, it was a challenge to edit Erik Karlsson realistically while keeping him above 90 overall.
Now, it looks like EA finally made changes to how certain attributes affects defensemen overall numbers. But apparently they forgot to make the changes carry over outside edit player mode. It's really confusing and EA needs to patch this so the same overall is displayed everywhere.
