Makar is probably a 88 so he doesn’t grow to fast in franchise mode. A lot of young players have lower overalls for that reason otherwise they’d be a 95 in year 2

[@samuellaprise4581]

Thanks bruh! And thats a concept that has been around for a while in the game! Players that have like 1 or 2 seasons under their belt usually are rated lower than what they are cause they wait until the player kinda "proves himself" if u undertand what im tryna say😅😅

[@mightymacaque]

This is a measured, appropriate comment

[@milanek1527]

Players are not supposed to be lower rated because they are too good in franchise mode. There is no reason for it. 1. A Ovr rating is about how good the player is in real life. 2. Most of the time ovr doesnt really matter since in franchise sims a 90 is similliar to a 95 since mcdavid never wins the art ross 3. Makar is top 2 defenseman in this league. 4. The game doesnt work anyway so it doesnt matter.

[@thewholegiraffe1841]

As a video game this makes sense but like have you seen the kid? He /is/ a 95 in year 2

Mack's response to Cale's rating is gold

[@craigtothec]

KZbin just recommended this to me the day after Makar won the Conn Smythe. Safe to say now that the 88 was definitely too low. 95 next year?

A 99 player should have Lidström defence, Gretzky offence, McDavid skating, Ovechkin shot, Cogliano durability, Kane stickhandling, Datsyuk puck control, Byfuglien bodychecking and so on... I have only seen highlights from Matthews and I can see he is really good offensively. But what else does he have that should rank him above 92?
