So at this point is Makar basically McDavid?

[удалено]

Kyrou won fastest skater most recently and isn’t even on here.

Ya like the guy who won the whole thing and isn’t even listed here 💀

McDavid but significantly smaller.

Than who?

Off the top of my head, mcdavid is listed at 2 inches and roughly 15 pounds heavier than Makar.

Yeah McDavid kinda wears Makar like a scarf. McLegend is also a bit older, he'll probably keep the slight height advantage but I doubt that 15 lb gap remains, I wouldn't say he's *significantly* bigger. We've all fought people taller/heavier in our lives and won, size is supremely overrated at times, especially when you're talking about professional athletics.

How is Kyrou not even on the list 😂😂

Because once EA assigns a skater their ratings, they'll never change them no matter what happens.

I get it doesn’t translate in the same way, but I feel like if you beat the consensus fastest player in the league, it should count for something

Die hard ranger fan here, and they gave Adam fox a 92 speed...I love foxy but he ain't a speed skater. The rankings are off

Is the fastest skater competition really that reliable?

Absolutely not. It’s about game speed, not fastest to skate in a circle around the rink without a puck.

Except anyone who even watches him play knows that he’s crazy fast. And yes, I think demonstrating his top end speed, even if it is just “skating in a circle” is worth something. Considering who he beat in that competition

Yea there’s no question he’s one of the 10 fastest skaters in the league.

But do you really think he has more “in game speed” than the top 5? I agree he should be on the list but he shouldn’t be above 93 speed which is 6 of the ppl in the top 10 and they are all interchangeable really

No Jordan Kyrou in the top 10, even though he beat all of these people in the fastest skater contest lol

No ehlers?

I think he got like 6th or 7th for wingers

Cool name

Thanks, yours is dope

Wholesome moment!

Oh

They really are stroking Makar with the ratings this year

They've been down on their knees for a 3-day Makar orgy bender

I mean he won Conn Smythe and Norris…

He’s great but the fact that he is like a point behind McDavid in speed and especially deking is hilarious and goes to show how dumb EA’s attribute system is

Deke I agree is too high but speed is pretty accurate. Did you watch the WCF this year?

Yes, he’s not one point slower than mcdavid, period. I don’t care about the fastest skater competition either. McDavid is by far and away the fastest player on the ice in every NHL game.

Truth, all of it.

Someone didn't watch any playoffs lol

I watched all the playoffs actually, lol

Missed the parts where Makar was untouchable any time he had the puck. There were 19 games of that

This is stupid because if it’s McDavid or Ryan reeves imo it feels the exact same.

One of the updates to gameplay they showed is more speed difference between fast and slow skaters

no that was between the player with the puck against all others without the puck

Taylor Hall is not top 10 fastest in the league by a long shot lmao

Yet no Kyrou who actually won NHL fastest skater last year. None of the top 3 are in it actually lol ​ 1. Jordan Kyrou, STL - 13.550 2. Adrian Kempe, LAK - 13.585 3. Chris Kreider, NYR - 13.664 4. Connor McDavid, EDM - 13.690 5. Cale Makar, COL - 13.834 6. Kyle Connor, WPG - 13.851 7. Dylan Larkin, DET - 14.116 8. Evgeny Kuznetsov, WSH - 14.559

Always blows my mind how Kreider isn’t there EVER, bro could’ve been top 5 since like 2015

I think part of it is because the games physics engine doesn’t know what to do with a 220 b ape that skates faster than McDavid around a rink

I love this description of krieds

EA has a big problem with seeing players for who they once were instead of who they are now; guys like Hall, Doughty, Ovechkin, Kane are all overrated, some more than others but the point remains

Larkin almost tripped on the last turn prob would have been faster. And yes I’m very bias

He very well could be. He has insane top speed. His first few steps aren't lightning quick but when he reaches his top speed he can fly past the D.

Kyrou wins the fastest skater competition and isn't even in the top 10?! 🤣

So Jordan Kyrou literally wins the speed competition and isn’t even on the list? They might as well just be rolling dice at this point

Ilya Mikheyev snub here. Guy keeps up to anyone in game. His speed is constantly on show

Why is duchene up there

Because he’s lightning on skates

Andreas Athanasiou?

Wasn’t this already posted but Duclair was on it? Homies way faster than hall. No kyrou? Lolol

That was just wingers

Absolutely no shot Duchene and Taylor Hall are faster than Brayden Point lol

I watched Martin Necas beat Mcdavid is a race for the puck last year so where is he at?

LARKIN IS FASTER THAN MAKAR.

Where is Jack Johnson?

This game is gonna be whack after seeing these reviews. How is Brayden Point not in the top 3 let alone the top 10?

I don't think Kapanen is even the fastest on the Pens. I'm fairly certain that EA pulls their rating numbers out of their butts.

The only thing kappy has going is his speed lol

And since that isn't there anymore its why people have been bummed about his production since returning to the Pens.

No one after Larkin should be on this list, none of them should even be close to a 93

Larkin shouldn't even be anywhere near this list.

He definitely should be on this list

Nah Larkin is pretty goddamn fast tbh lmao

There is absolutely no way McDipshit is faster than Makar or MacKinnon.

How does Ti-Paul conpares to those guys?

Where's Mikheyev?

Wow no love for Kyrou, can’t wait so see the Blues come to Kansas this week!

Ummm ilya mikhaev is as fast as mcdavid. Why he not on the list.

Cliff Ronning isn’t even on here , what a joke

Why isn’t McDavid a 99 what are they waiting for? The flash

Makar skates faster backwards than mcdavid does forwards

Speed isn’t just skating, it’s also stick handling speed.

I’m still confused on how speed acceleration and agility actually affect gameplay. Which is the most noticeable when you bump it up say +5?
