i think that is the wrong way of looking at things. a player's rating should be an arbitrary way of recreating the skill differences for the game. there is a difference between how crosby plays and how aki seitsonen plays. and i think currently, they try to mash everyone's ratings so close that its really hard to tell the difference.
and i do think its kind of a pride thing... they don't want to hurt anyones feelings or offend fans because a certain player is rated low. so they just kind of pull everyone up together.
i just wish there was a better way of making players play different. because really there's not much difference between any of them. like i said, i think they are going in the right direction by having less skilled players not have the ability to do whatever, but i think it still has a long way to go. they have been putting out these games for over 15 years, and yet when i am playing, there is no difference in what i can do with eric godard and evgini malkin. this should have been addressed long ago.
