For example Phaneuf a 9.5 he isn't better than Kessel or Lupul and in the KHL Zherdev is one of the best players in the league y the hell is he a 6.5 and don't say that his defense is bad i know that but his offense makes him a star same thing with Zaborsky. 
Please respond Jeff R this problem must be dealt with can u please try to change it  |
If you don't have a team, you are defaulted to players rated against the NHL players so 6.5 for Zherdev is probably fine. If he is 6.5 vs the KHL and you are a manager of that league then there is an issue. Also, I am pretty sure that the skater ratings are based on position and not overall skater. 9.5 for Phaneuf over Kessel would not be accurate. It's Phaneuf vs the rest of the league's D and Kessel vs the rest of the leagues forwards.
I might be wrong on the ratings but I'm pretty sure that is how it will work
