i don't even need to get into personal ratings issues just because the system itself is so broken. as i stated before, it effects every mode because there is no difference between elite players and everyone else. it particularly effects GM mode because it can be so unrealistic to try and build a team. i am not sure how it will effect HUT, but i assume it will make team building different due to poor ratings.
sorry for the rant.

Sorry dobbles, but I disagree here. You can tell the difference between two guys with even the same ratings. Everyone gets so caught up on the OVR rating and not enough on the other ratings. Using the above list as an example, I guarantee you, you will score more with Tavares who is rated an 83 than you would with Langenbrunner who is rated an 85.
I don't agree with the scale they use, basically 65-92, but that is because of the ego's of the NHLPA as a whole. It would make the difference between players a lot better if they could use the whole scale for sure, but with this year, at least we will see guys lower than 65 and be able to watch them grow into something.
