Those screens show Datsyuk and Crosby as a 95.

LOL @ Vokoun being an 87 as well as Fluery. Guy was hurt half the season.

Those ratings disappoint. Everyone is basically 4 star, some teams have an 89 starting goalie with a 77ovr backup and is 4 star, yet another team has an 82ovr starter with a 72ovr backup...and is 4 star.


This just in, ratings still don't mean dick.

[Ravin]

I never cared about the stars of teams because we know it doesn't matter. But as far as player ratings go, I will say this is better then last year where EVERYONE was a fucking 80 player. Atleast this year a player who is suppose to be a 75 is actually a 75 and not boosted to the moon because of the shit system.

[leaffan]

Ratings really don't mean everything because literally everyone has a 4 star offense.
