video game player ratings

We called that "the bitch goal." Easy ways to score pre-one timer were the crappy "wraparounds" and passing it straight on-net.

I didn't know about the pass on net, but I did know about the wrap around. I remember playing with friends and not allowing goals where the player comes out from below the circles on any goal. I loved it when the goalie would get "stuck" on the one side of the net if you stopped behind the net a few times.

Yup, it wasn't that rare to skate up with a tendy and pass it on in.

The dreaded five hole pass. If you were dead center in the middle of the ice it was in 90% of the time with the better players.

Used to love to take Gartner up the wing, do a Gretzky curl and shoot it into the far corner.

i dont remember the year but steve larmer was a stud, jarri kurri was also one of my guns in the sega era

[mack 44]

Steve Larmer was a stud every year for some odd reason.

Courtnall-Ronning-Bure was just unstoppable in those games though, even if they had Jyrki friggin' Lumme on D.

[Chadd 916]

Dave Manson was pretty much unstoppable one year too.

Yzerman was a beast from 92-95 w/EA.

[Gongshow11 1]

in 95 theo fleury was unstoppable with the flames, and bure was a 99 rating throught his EA NHL career. Tim chevaldae was a nasty goalie too

On a related note, my friend did all of the player ratings for NHL 2K6 (not the roster update though) and now that he is a full time employee of Visual Concepts/Take 2 Interactive he will be doing the ratings and all roster updates for NHL 2K7. :)

No, he was around the 90 mark. 99 wasn't a rating they gave out often.

Lemieux is the only one I can think of who was a 99 in the early-mid 90s. I don't remember Gretzky's ratings at all. I think Roenick was around a 93-ish.

NHL 94 I think had 2 players that would just take over a game

-Nelson Emerson

-Bryan Smolinski

also they would skew the points..so if you were putting up 10-15pts per game all of a sudden Smolinksi would be way ahead of you

In 94 Fedorov was the only 99 in the game and I think Lemieux was the closest at around 93-94. Yzerman was up there, but a lot of the ratings were skewed. I remember Sakic was in the mid-80s but had like 50 speed.

If NHL 07 doesn't show up even close the being good, im going to the 2K series, EA is a joke with the hockey games.

Yes, they are. :)

I prefer the 2K series

i think some stats must just be made up though becuase on NHL 2K5 there must be 25 different attributes per player and about 750 players in the league and 150 Free agents and all the minor league affiliates all addes up to well over 1000+ and i dont really think they would do (roughly!)25,000 individual attribute stats properly

[mickz 107]

In NHL 98 Pavel Bure only had 3/4 of his bar filled up. I'm assuming that means he's 75%?
