I think he deserves an 80-81.

Who is mildly upset that Ovi is no longer the highest rated player in the game? yet Crosby, all injured and can't even practice, is 96 overall? I mean, 8 months of injured time, and he's somehow the best player ever? Let's at least work on making Ovechkin the best player

EDIT: Neuvy - 79, Johansson - 78, Carlson - 82

I don't know if this is where I should post this but did any of you guys ever played for the Capitals during a BAP season? I think I've played with them the last three games and every time, Ovechkin is moved to the right wing, even though he is correctly listed as a left wing. That's a weird and annoying bug...

Anyone have an overall number for Dmitri Orlov? I want to create him for the Bears since he wasn't included in the last roster update.

I would say Orlov would be about a 76 with good potential

Roman Hamrlik, #44 this year, needs to be inserted into the lineup in place of Erskine.

Dmitri Orlov has been wearing the number 81 on his jersey for preseason. Also two players for possible the fourth line on the Washington Capitals are looking like Jeff Halpern at center and Matt Hendricks to be one of the wingers.

Capitals lines for opening night:

Ovechkin #8 - Backstrom #19 - Knuble # 22
Semin #28 - Perreault #85 - Brouwer #20
Chimera #25 - Laich #21 - Ward #42
Hendricks #26 - Halpern #15 - Beagle #83

Hamrlik #44 - Green #52
Alzner #27 - Carlson #74
Schultz #55 - Wideman #6

Neuvirth #30
Vokoun #29

Scratches: Johansson #90, King #17
IR: Poti #3, Erskine #4

PP1: Laich - Backstrom - Semin up front, Ovechkin - Green on point
PP2: Brouwer - Perreault - Knuble up front, Wideman - Hamrlik on point

PK1: Laich-Halpern up front, Alzner-Carlson blueline
PK2: Beagle-Brouwer up front, Hamrlik-Green blueline

Hershey Bears lines for game two:

Potulny #27 - Aucion #11 - Bourque #17
Greentree #37 - Sjogren #26 - Ford #23
Carroll #13 - Eakin #14 - Micflikier #18
Kane #12 - Hanson #20 - Bouchard #22

P.McNeill #2 - Collins #6
Brouillette #29 - Orlov #28
Wellar #33 - Richmond #7

Sabourin #35
Holtby #1

Scratches: Mink #21, Flemming #4, Miskovic #25, Rechlicz #19

The last couple of games they switched Knuble and Brouwer.

Just some quick things I saw:

Hendrick's deking is too low. 73 really? Check this guy out in his shootout attempts.
Chimera is more than a 90 in speed. He looks like Usian Bolt out there compared to everyone else. 95 atleast.

Other than that I think you guys did pretty good.

Dmitry Orlov needs to be added to the game.

I have a question: why the Ovechkin contract is just for 6 years in NHL 12

Ovechkin sign a 13 years contract in 08-09... the end of is contract is in 2020-2021

sory for my english
Thanks for the answer

Orlov is not in starting lineup, yet Green who is still hurt is in the lineup??????????

Not a big deal, but Orlov is not right handed.

Consider for final roster update please...

Backstrom has been their MVP of the sesaon, he should be an 89 like he was in NHL 10/11. He's back to his productive pace and was extremely good before being sidelined for concussion.

Orlov could need a small bump. He has 3 goals and 16 assists. Not bad for his first season as a rookie defencemen. Nothing insane, but whatever he is at now is a tad too low. The kid has a better slap shot than he does whatever is in the game.

Green should be lowered to a 85-87. He was good the start of the season, but then turned to crap after he came back from injury. Dunno if its the system or whatever, but his rating is probably too high. Past seasons are the only reason he can have such a high rating atm.

Ovi at 91 is fine, but I don't know about his accuracy. He ended up 5th in goals this season so 85 in those categories is a tad low If anything that should be lowered it would be defensive stats because he turns over the puck a lot and does relatively nothing in his own zone. The skill is still there- he hits hard and still has insane speeds, perhaps his hands are a little worse.

Knuble could probably use a drop to 80-81. He's old, but hasn't been getting line time and is consistently scratched. Even before then, his numbers have been poor.

Hendricks. This is why we need a shootout stat.

Whatever stats affect dekeing ability. He needs a bump.

Hamrlik is not an 84. This guy has not shown to be as good as he once used to be. 81-82 would be more fitting.

Holtby has been sensational. NHL 13 needs to have this guy at at least an 84 like how Neuvirth was a 79 in NHL 11, but when he became the starter he turned into a 84.
