why does EA always fail at player ratings?

my thoughts...
forwards
Crosby-93 (he's still number 1 until McDavid wins)
Malkin-92 (bc of his renaissance last year)
Guentzel-89 (40 goals. period. give the man some respect.)
Rust-86 (point-per-game player last year. legit top-6 winger)
Zucker-85 (20 goals 50 points penciled in. consistency. can't wait to see a full season in PIT)
Kapanen-83 (who does he play with and can he finish consistently?)
McCann-81 (because of his slump to end last year he isn't higher.)
Tanev-80 (Nicknamed Turbo for a reason)
Blueger-80 (great defensively and has #3C potential)
ZAR-80 (amazing defensively but I wish he could get a goal every once in a while)
Sceviour-78 (good on the PK)
Erod-78 (nice but small sample size. let's see what he can bring)
jankowski-77 (awful year last year, hope he can regain his game)
Lafferty-77 (showed flashes but needs to prove he can be a NHL regular)

defense
Letang-89 (why is doughty a 91? like seriously!)
Marino-85 (great rookie year with #1 potential)
Dumoulin-85 (ridiculously underrated. top-5 defensive D-man in the NHL)
Pettersson-83 (took a step back from a good first year in PIT but is still young)
Riikola-80 (PLAY THE MAN!)
Matheson-78 (for now. I'm intrigued by his shot and speed.)
Ruhwedel-78 (good 7th D but that's all.)

goalies
Jarry-84 (one good year but was picked high for a reason)
desmith-81 (fine backup goalie)
