#NHL25 #Ratings #Review
Hope you guys enjoyed the video! What ratings need changed the most??
You saying Will Smith should be a two-way forward might be the most insane thing I’ve ever heard 💀
As a Sharks fan I agree, I’m assuming he got Smith and Celebrini mixed up when saying that
@@Broondy. Celebrini could honestly be a sniper, playmaker, or twf he’s so good. The fact he’s only elite medium is so embarrassing for EA
Dobber prospects said he has a good 2 way game. But I've also heard he doesn't back check. So guess we'll have to wait to see him in NHL haha
Not a word about Fantilli being 85 rated but complaining about 83 rating on Carlsson is crazy 😂
Angle adam needs a Xfactor or at least a super star ability in my op
Tbh doesn’t seem like this dude Tactix knows much about hockey outside of EA NHL.
@@Boshjileshe’s right about most his takes, EA incredibly overrated based off single season changes
this guy is so full himself. he so biased!
so you are saying Fantilli should be better then 85?
TacTix - “I think they are giving to high of ratings to young players. That’s what potential is for,” and “EA seems to be going 90% off of last year when I’d rather go off of the last 3 years.”
Also TacTix - “You could make Faber an 89 he was that good.”
What?
Faber was great last year but honestly fell off in the 2nd half. He’s still great but 89 would have him bordering on top 10 territory.
Ya true. I definitely contradicted myself few times looking back
Nick Suzuki is perfectly fine at 89 my man. You're just looking at him through how many points he put up (damn near a ppg on that squad is still impressive) instead of the whole package. He's also a very good two way player so the offensive stats doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to Suzuki's style of play.
You need to realize points aren't everything, your way of judging everyone is based on points...including defenseman which makes no sense
I 100% agree. He mentioned Suzuki being too highly rated, but he is very very good defensively as well as very solid offensively... hence the 89. But that's just my opinion.
@@Joegooz11 You're correct. He was damn near a PPG on that squad and is an exceptional two way player as well.
Not true for dmen. Hedman puts up points I said too high. Vlasic defensive I said too low
Forsberg is very underrated. He should be 91 or 92 with a Close Quarters Zone Ability
What do you mean he leaves vancouver and hes suddenly lower overall? He was 85 in the April Roster update last year... You called it a drastic change..
Cause everywhere in the video you are saying its a good barometer to have for a 50-60 point foward to be around a 85 overall. Lindholm was a 40 point player last season.
Especially when your saying you think Hronek should be a 86 as well.. Who as a dman had 48 points last year and for a lot of the season him and hughes were the best dpair in the league.
So continuing the video your just completing bias'd to thinking EA is favouring the Canucks a bunch.
In NHL 24 your last roster update covering EA's Desharnais was a 78 and you said he should be a 79..He then went on to play top 6 for a team that went to 7 in the finals..
Lindholm was not drastically downgraded after leaving the canucks he was a 85 when he joined the canucks.
I don't see why you would be comparing players launch ratings today compared to their launch ratings last year instead of their updated rosters and opinions on the players?
Also just so you know as it doesn't seem you watch much hockey, Jt miller was better than Pettersson this season and the 22 season. Petey was downgraded cause he was injured the second half of the season and wasn't playing like he was the first half of the season when he was a hart candidate.
Your also faded if you think Demko shouldn't even be a 90. Saros was ass last year for a majority of the year and was in trade rumours while Demko was the Vezina runner up and lead at points in the season.. I know saros was ass cause I drafted him in fantasy and watched every game.
90% of these overalls look unchanged from last year I wish the ratings would be automated off stats and then edited by them to help the young guys. For example like average skate speed being at a certain threshold gets you the certain rating.
That would be incredibly flawed though. For example, Mitch Marner is one of the best skaters in the league. But with his style, he never really hits those speeds often. If you look at a combination of a player's top speed and frequency with which they exceed 22 miles per hour. Mitch Marner is in the 10th percentile according to JFresh
Suzuki playing whit a mediocre team… he totally deserves the 89! Finally EA gave him some credit
Darren Raddysh 84 ovr with low 7th d potential, 😂
We still got pricey pond hockey 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I think ur underrating Suzuki and Caufield honestly they are both really underrated defensively and for slaf 85 is fair but if u look at a guy like fantilli being 85 slaf should be 87-88
Slaf has 24 career goals 85ovr is generous.
@@Oils36 78 point pace since December while being good defensively
@@slashy768 leave at 85 guy is what 21 or 22 will grow with sim
as a habs fan slaf is good but not 88 level good, he’s like around 85. maybe 86 but i don’t mind 85
@@tristanfilion8259 I don’t mind 85 but the fact that Cooley and fantilli are the same is a joke
Mcdavid doesnt have a single 99 stat lol wow
Idk why ea gives him such a high defensive awareness, but won’t max out his hands and skating attributes.
Lowkey some really ass opinions😂
Haha no one ever agrees on all ratings. Also I did forget to call out certain ratings as I didn't want vid too be too long
Damn these ratings are bad... like really bad
Lmao. How do you give the third overall pick high top six potential and then give the 7th overall pick medium elite? Make it make sense ea.
Because Michkov was 5x the prospect McTavish was and that's what they, rightfully so, base potential off of for young players
Probably because Sennecke shouldn’t of even been picked 3rd
How are u ok with Fantilli being 85 but complain about Carlsons rating when Carlson was objectively better and drafted before. Also if anything Carlson should have higher potential
Yeah I agree he complains about Carlsson being too high ovr at 83 with only 29 points but he's ok with Fanitlli at 85 ovr with only 27 points 😂 if Fanitlli is 85 then Carlsson should be 85 aswell imo or make both 84 ovr
He's complete brain rot
All this north american bias is fucking nuts. Who made these ratings.
In what world is leo 83 while fantilli is 85?? And how can this dweeb say leo should be lower????
I forgot to mention it but I agree Fantilli is too high. Should be like 82
@@TacTixHD imo both should be around 85. Leo 86. Ryan strome is 85 💀💀💀
Kane being 88 is accurate
3 cup champ and he missed a lot of last year due to injury
Stop saying he has 0
Defense
They changed the rating system so that player type (Sniper, Two-Way, Playmaker, Offensive D-Man) affects players’ overalls, that’s why players are higher than you might expect (McDavid’s exact NHL 25 ratings make him only a 95 in NHL 24 because defensive stats are weighed less for playmakers)
Honestly did not know that and love that change. A big thing I’ve been asking for is an overhaul of the ratings system so you can accurately represent the players.
So could I theoretically make Kucherov (who’s a stud and deserves to be mid-90’s) weak defensively now since being defensive isn’t as important for a playmaker? Instead of artificially bumping his defensive play into the high 80’s to keep his overall high?
@@jobemi2422 Yeah, basically. Like I said, McDavid (who’s a 97 in with his NHL 25 ratings), if you give him those ratings in NHL 24, he’s only a 95. Also, someone showed that Quinn Hughes as an Offensive D-Man is a 94, 93 if you make him a two-way, and only 88 if you make him a Defensive D-Man, so those together show how the changes work
Ya I didn't know that when recording the video (EA never shared this for some reason) but I like the change as you can have McDavid for instance at 97 OVR with lower def awareness now
Disagree with ur basing of heiskanen potential a top 5 defenseman in the league is a franchise player
Tactix, you really sound like a “know it all” it was 40 mins of you correcting 95% of the rosters. Those ones were it’s an 84ovr and you say “needs to be an 83”. We’re all waiting for you roster upload
Not trying to be a know it all. Just saying which guys I think are a bit too high or too low
Mannnn you didn’t show the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins. I was really curious what Rutger McGroarty’s rating would be.
Not in the game yet
Will Smith does NOT have a good defensive game
Demote him to the Barracudas of the AHL.
If you’ve watched Yakemchuk in pre season and in the WHL with Calgary you would definitely agree with the Elite potential. He looks like a young Thomas Chabot. Kids a stud
I base my ratings on last season only because it’s NHL 25 not NHL 22 you want the players to be as accurate as possible as they are right now not three years ago
The issue with that is some players have one crazy season and then regress to what they were in previous seasons take a look at Bo Horvat as an example
Issue is I don't think 1 career year or bad year is as indicative of a player's rating as a 3 year scale.
demko 89 is crazy disrespect
So is saying Saros is better than Demko, taxtics doesnt know what the fuck hes ever talking about, the kids tismed out and works for ea lmao
Disrespectful to all the tenders better than him yeah.
Saros is better than demko and has been one of the best gk in the league after rinne retired….
@@luuttikoplini4417 Youre just admitting to not reading stats you dork 😂 your opinion does not validate saros being better than demko 😭🤡 read the room lil buddy
@@luuttikoplini4417Was ass this year. I know because I had him in 4 fantasy leagues.
They can’t have Heiskanen’s potential as franchise but have a guy like Dahlin staying at elite potential just for the fact that Heiskanen plays on the better team.
With defense guys how would you make them lower if they play good at defense taking down there offense that takes more out of the player than touching there defense stat
Granlund put up almost identical numbers to Bedard on a worse team and is only an 85 🤔
Why is Arizona shorted to AZ in stats? I thought they've been ARI
No johnny hockey on the blue jackets is crazyyyy
He’s not playing next year it’s meant for realism, no disrespect to Johnny of course
@@nolanknnox7541yeah like it sucks but also see why they did that. Would hurt to much always seeing him
Apparently he's a free agent along with hart @jakeheerwagen8007
@@nolanknnox7541 they left Savard in the game long after he retired.
They need a whole rating overhaul lol , like do they even watch games
oh my god those whl ratings were atrocious
Lost all credibility with the Suzuki take
5:22 Brad Nadeau having top 9 potential lol
The only thing you go of is points, like saying that a good 2 way D that is rated 86-88 is way too high because he "only" had 35-40 points is crazy. You understand that you can be a good player without points aswell..
Who did I say that for? Weegar doesn't put up tons of points and I think 87 good for him could maybe be 88 even
appreciate the video but you dont know ball....
Leo Carlsson at 83 is criminal.
You undervalue Hedman. IMO
Hedman fell off a bit this year. 89 is perfectly fair
He isn't what he used to be. His defensive game has gone down
Nothing made in canada is good and nhl 25 is the worst
Simple solution... DON'T BUY IT.
Eklund is a 83 lol. He's at least an 85
Expecting Eklund, Celebrini, and Smith’s ratings to all increase over the course of the season. My guess is by December we see a nice increase for Eklund and Celebrini at least
Bro actually uses draft position to determine potential💀💀💀
Quentin Musty is one of the 20 best NHL affiliated prospects right now. Draft position is irrelevant.
It definitely should factor in when they haven't played an NHL game
@@TacTixHD should play a factor sure. Like Kemell, as you said, as a Med Elite is crazy. But Medium Eilte is completely fair for Musty. He’s developed exceptionally well in his DY+1 and is one of the best 20 prospects in the league. And I ain’t even a Sharks fan
@@TacTixHD But I get that no one will ever completely agree on these ratings and stuff. You’re still my glorious pookie king
Draisaitl voted the best passer in the league by the NHLPA, not even the 3rd highest passing skill iirc Oof.
Love that they have Verhoeff as a med top 4 already. His stock could grow as the season progresses. 3g 1a 4pts in the first 2 games for Victoria. Big kid at 6'4" 212lbs. Been really good defensively as well, and only 16.
Man you're ALWAYS sleeping on Demko. 😂 Bring his durability down sure, but he more than deserves his rating. Even when the Canucks were literally the worst defensive team the in the league, Demko had Saros adjacent numbers. He's insane.
I understand not wanting Byram at 87 but "84 max" ain't right. Dude is legit, an 85 at the very least, and Buffalo has a stacked D for years to come
Petey has been one of my favorite players since coming into the league, but he's been fighting it. Miller should def be higher until Petey proves he's better-- Miller gets the numbers he does in a matchup role. Petey was given the minutes to feast and stumbled HARD post all star break.
Martin Pospíšil extremly underraited: only 78 overall for first liner Who picked up last season 24 points in 63 games.
I wasnt a fan of the Yakemchuk pick but hes come into camp and looked really good. Hes looked really good in both his preseason games and with Zub having a lingering injury Yakemchuk has a chance to get 9 games out of camp and see where he goes from there but the elite potential is justified from what Ive seen so far
My alterations to the Blues, trying to maintain an objective POV while setting aside my bias:
I think an argument can be made for Thomas to be an 89, maybe even a 90. He was quite literally our best player in quite awhile and I fear that in a Franchise Mode series, if you surround him with the remaining overalls, he will only produce around 60-70pts per season, which is a bit low. I agree with the M-Elite, but our front office and coaching staff have been grooming him into a TWF, so I would keep that. My changes to his x-factors would be Gold tape-to-tape, and only give him two superstar abilities in Puck on a String and your choice in Elite Edges or Third Eye. The Elite Edges may be controversial, but he is an elite passer that creates space by cutting back and opening the middle of the ice. Third eye is likely the better option. Most fans see him as a lower quality Leon.
I would personally swap the overalls of Kyrou and Buchnevich. Kyrou is one dimensional and Buchnevich has significantly more utility. I'd drop Kyrou's potential to L-Elite and remove his center position. If and when he plays it, he is terrible. The Blues organization plans to play Buchnevich in the center position, and he has shown proficiency in it in the last couple years. I'd offer him the RW/C position and boost his faceoff rating to somewhere between 78 and 83. I'd also swap his tape-to-tape SA to unstoppable force. He is pretty hard to knock off the puck when skating down low or on the half-walls. He is a good passer, but his ability to shrug off players has been a more notable contribution.
Krug is on LTIR and won't be back at all this season, and likely the rest of his career. I'd be okay if you made him a 70ovr and basically removed him from the game. If you do this, I would bump Perunovich to an 81, maayyybe 82 as his entire training schedule will be powerplay command, and with the addition of Claude Julien, he will contribute more on the PP. I'd also drop his shooting stats down or switch his bias to 80-90% passing if not already there.
I'd boost Parayko to an 87 as long as you only increase his slapshot, defense, stick handling, and poise. He has been an amazing defender and breakout skater for us. But I would drop Faulk to an 84 or 83. He hasn't performed well in STL in the o-zone and has had terrible positioning and decision making in the d-zone.
This will be controversial, but Binners played absolutely great last year. A 2.84 and a .913 with an absolutely terrible defense in front of him should give him some credit. He has the ability to win games and he, along with Thomas, was the only reason we got close to making the playoffs. I'd honestly give him 87 M-Starter...but if you don't want to bump him, you still have to give him M-Starter. He falls off quick in EA simulations, so the Blues in game will likely not resign him or will trade him on contract year. For me, he typically drops to an 82-83 by the age of 34, so I wouldn't be worried about long-term affects.
Bolduc could be anywhere between a 79-81. He has been playing very well and developing quickly, and will be on the NHL roster all season. I'd personally like to see H-T6 potential on him. I don't foresee it being game breaking, but M-T6 is fine too. Too many of my simulations with him starting as a 73-75 have had him capping at 81...and data showing him as a future 2nd line center makes the adjustment easier.
I see Buchinger getting NHL minutes next season and pushing for an NHL spot in 2 seasons. I'd like to see him have an ovr in the 70s to open the door to seeing it in simulations. Kind of the same reasoning for Lindstein and Stenberg. In all my simulations, they have not been able to get out of the AHL, so offering them a slight boost should help with that. Dvorsky should probably be a 77 or 78 with H-T6. I doubt he makes roster out of pre-season, but he has so much upside, so I see it as fair. And Adam Jiricek's ovr seems too high. Coming off an injury and having scored very few points in previous seasons, I feel a 68-69ovr while keeping the potential makes sense.
I know you like placing more x-factors into the game, as long as it makes sense, so I would give Neighbors the crease-crasher superstar ability as he basically scored all of his goals in that way. I would also give Parayko Shutdown, because his reach, dexterity, and agility when defending rush chances has been a saving grace in our zone.
Great video! Agree with quite a bit.
I really appreciate them lowering some of the defensive awarenesses of the top forwards. They must have tweaked the overall calculations slightly which seems to be a good change
U need to watch hockey because saying miller isn’t better than Petey omg watch one canucks game before u say that shit
As a habs fan I completly agree with Caufield (85-86 ovrl to me) but saying Suzuki shouldn't be an 89 is straight crazy lol. The guy is 5 pts away from point per game playing a shit squad and plays a great 200ft game...Suzuki>Larkin and Larkin is an 89 I think
How do you say Brock faber should be 89 and then Luke Hughes should be 83? You mention stats they had very similar stat lines
Is it just me or does EA give higher potential to rookies not yet in the NHL?
That Yakemchuk rating and potential is amazing based off how he has been to start the preseason
It genuinely makes me angry how much they fucked up Robert Thomas. Dude is elite.
McDavid not the fastest, Also why should faber be that high rated, he complained about players and rookies being too high rated from just last year, yet is fine with faber at a 89?? And how is Demko not a top 5 Goalie? Top 5 is Hellebuck, Shesty, Bob, Saros, Demko(not necessarily in that order. Swayman isn't a 90, maybe 87-88 at best, with high elite. he hasn't been a starter goalie in the league since he and Ullmark split the games evenly, though after one full season if he plays well I could see Swayman being a 90 OVR
Gotta love how biased you got when you showed Detroit and said “I like that for Larkin. Oh yeah that’s fair 88 for Raymond and sider both medium elite” but say Thomas Harley is too high 😂 or Heiskanen franchise potential is too high 😂
I bought the deluxe edition on xbox and its not letting me play...
Update: i guess early access starts tomorrow so how do youtubers have it even earlier
Hopefully EA doesn’t make Anaheim one of the best Simulated teams. Tired of playing the ducks in the Stanley cup finals in season mode as Pittsburgh penguins. instead of playing Colorado or Dallas in finals 😭
Jesus… they still couldn’t do a jersey change if a player gets traded to another team 🤦🏽♂️. How does laine still have his Columbus jersey on
Suzuki's rating is fine Caufield should be 85-86ovr
As a Sabres fan I think Bowen should have started as an 85 1 rating below Power. But i feel by the end of the year players like Cozens, Peterka, Quinn and Power will recieve at least a +2 on Ovr
Do you think ylu could look at playoff stas for some of tbem cause.that probally helped thoer ratings
Bennett having a 70 for fighting is a fucking joke dude literally kills dudes. 14:17 also Bennett should be 86 Lundell is a 85 and top 6 high Bennett top 6 medium
For Ravensbergen, he had way different stats than D'Aigle. Bob MacKenzie even had him at #20 on his pre season draft rankings. One goalie you did miss was Jack Ivankovic of the Brampton Steelheads. He also had way better stats than D'Aigle.
Ivankovic: 2023-24: .915 SV%, hasn't played a game in 2024-25. should be med elite 70 OVR
Ravensbergen: 2023-24: .907 SV%, 2024-25: .919 SV%, should be high elite at 70 OVR
D'Aigle: 2023-24: .879 SV%, 2024-25: .895 SV%, should be med elite but lower rated at 65 OVR
As for Musty, he should have HIGH top 6 instead of med top 6. He did have a great year and i've seen many redrafts on capfriendly have him in the top 15.
Otherwise your take on the ratings is correct. Also I believe EA is afraid of making certain players enforcers over grinders. Rempe is a great example
Saros over Demko is a crazy take! I’m taking Demko 10 out of 10 times
How is Cowan a 74 Med Top 6 Forward when he a) may make the opening night lineup for the Leafs and b) was literally the OHL MVP last year.
McMann at 78 is mad disrepect. Guy was on his way to 30 goal season before injury, and using the same logic of contracts he is a bonafide top 9 winger, 78 is just dumb. He's gotta be a 80/81 at least.
I can't believe Sanderson is only 86 rated when you look at the comparables around him should be 87-88 especially considering hes already way better than Chabot and Ottawas #1 dman
Mikey absolutely deserves an 85. plays on our top pair with doughty and shuts down team’s best players. definitely underrated and i appreciate the rating ea gave him
I lost it when you said Hedman is an 89 not 90+ material and that he is an offensman d-man. Start watching games and not just hockey db PLZ.
I’ve been saying for years how underrated Brock Nelson is, I’m so glad you said the same thing about his rating. And I’m not even a Islanders fan lol 😅
So much disrespect to tbe warriors there mateychuk is a phenomenal player got to watch him the entire time here in moose jaw hes a very good offencive defencmen
Pretty sure they just artificially adjust player ratings in favor of getting the team ratings where they want those to be
One I think is underrated a bit is brad lambert(74 ovr) as he was 2nd in ahl rookie scoring last year the first place being stankoven and it looks like lambert is going to make the nhl this year i would have him at least like a 78-79
Konecny too low him being lower than ovi dosent make any sense York should be atleast 86 and seeler is somehow 79 should be 83
Kent Johnson and Stankoven with a better overall than Lehkonen is crazy
Brock Nelson is criminally underrated goal scorer in the NHL
Hey question with the pre order for early access tomorrow is there a time limit eg 10 hrs until the actual launch date or is it you can play all the hours you want before the actual launch date?
Dude saying a defense guy is over rated in Byram the reason is he's a defense guy so obvious he would be higher than offense guys cause of him playing good at defense
PO Joseph at 83 is hilarious. Is that guy even a regular in their top six haha
I like to use a 1-2 year scale as well saying a new game comes every year. I do consider the career but mainly the last 1-2 years.
I want to get it, but I just can’t find anything worth justifying the purchase
Also how the hell does stamkos still have his Tampa bay Jersey on… nhl is so shit with simple changes
The very start of a New NH.L game roster's are always shity tho nothing new lol.
I wish they would've put johnny hockey in the game
Just realized Kane has become underrated. 88 is fair imo.
does Stone have an LTIR X-Factor for Vegas? 🤔
Boeser has top 6 potential? D:
Why does Morgan Reilly have a 90 Shot Blocking
Quinn should be a 95 as Makar for winning the Norris
Demko is stupid low, when healthy he's top 2 goalie in the league no question. And yeah Pettersson-Miller swap. EA was braindead with the Canucks ratings outside of Hughes, thankfully they kept him 94 and not 95. Slafkovsky also too low, Caufield too low, Marner 1 overall too low, Fantilli too high, Hedman I'd say 90 is fair looking at the company at that rating, Konecny too low. I can't even play this game without changing so much of the roster, this is actually insane.
Top 2?? Igor and Hellebuyck both for sure better. I also have Vasi, Saros, Sorokin, and maybe Swayman above him
Heiskanen at Medium Franchise potential is fine
Year in and year out there remains an EA Dev who loves Bowen Byram
Whats the name of the song at the beggining of the video?
You care too much about points for defenceman.
This game feels the same, or the hype has just been awful
