So during the summer Anahiem did this thing where he made a spreadsheet using NHL player rankings to determine which teams are the best using player averages. I plan on doing something similar once I recieve NHL 16 on Christmas. Since it will take me quite a while to put all the players and prospects on the right teams, I've decided to do it right by editing the players, so the GM mode is as realistic as possible.
In the comments, just write who do you think needs an upgrade/ downgrade in terms of rating and potential. You have until the 25th. If someone comments something i will make those players that rating unless there is a rebuttal and then we can have a discussion. To make it as good as possible if ask for everyone to participate. Then I will simulate the GM mode, and at the end of each year I will post the standings, stats from the game, winners, etc and every two years I will upgrade player progression, and team rating to see how good some teams are built for now and how good they will be in the future according to the NHL simulator.

I think this sounds really cool! Like I mentioned in the chat, I'm not sure there's need to manually edit ratings. It will take a while to put the teams together even without that, plus it would be interesting to see how EA thinks our teams will progress throughout the years.

Ok, so I think I will manually edit only a handful of players. The only 3 I know that need some serious upgrades are Nylander, Marner and Panarin who all happen to be on my team. Nylander caps off at 80ish which isn't good enough for a 19 year old who is leading the ahl in scoring easily. Also Marner only has 4 and a half red stars potential when guys like Strome, Hanifan and Zacha have 4 and a half gold star potential and I would argue he is better than them and should atleast have the same potential as them.
That's why I'm asking you guys who you think should get upgraded, because EA always makes mistakes. I know Nylander needs an upgrade for sure, but I want to know who else needs one, so every thing is as realistic as real life

I don't think everybody is going to do that though. Probably best to just keep everything the way it is in NHL.
Alright I'll keep the ratings the same I guess. I might post a spreadsheet for the first year with the ratings and players and if you see any wrong ratings just comment if you want me to change it.
