    Is it just me or are the team ratings just horrible? VAN is pretty much unbeatable and somehow Luongo is better then Thomas. I am sorry but this totally breaks the online. NHL 11 ratings were way more accurate then what they are now. Chicago has a 93 offense? WIN has a 93 defense? I am sorry this is just crap.

    Yes I may be a Sharks fan, and having an GOA rating of 80 is totally horrendous and not accurate, but I am not being biased. Seems to me the game developers are still up in flames over losing the cup to Boston...

    They are horrible. The team ratings are pretty wack I must agree. Also Thomas and Luongo should have their ratings switched. I would like to hear the devs reasoning for their current ratings.

    Obviously I agree that the Sharks' goaltending is grossly misrepresented.

    The one good thing about the Sharks being underrated is you lose fewer points for facing teams like the Leafs and Winnipeg.

    Maybe they were so destroyed over losing the cup to Boston that they convinced themselves that it would be acceptable to base Luongo's stats on his gold medal? 
    Or maybe, and more realistically, he's just got really high stats because "pressure" is not a variable? :O

    I'm okay with Luongo having better ratings than Thomas as long as they also programmed him to give up 4 soft goals every time he visits Boston.
