This week, EA Sports revealed plenty of NHL 18 player ratings. Cover star, Connor McDavid, took the top spot in both the young stars and the top 50 players with a 93 overall rating – up five points from his ranking last year, and blowing past many of the top stars and veterans of the NHL.
EA Sports recently detailed the new ratings methodology in place for NHL 18 in a blog post. Most important to the young stars is that they are rated so they can step right out of the NHL Entry Draft and into the NHL directly.
