Along with the hockey season comes the annual hockey game from Electronic Arts Sports, this year, it’s NHL 16 that will be hitting the shelves for Xbox One and Playstation 4.

The game is set to release in North America on September 15, followed by September 17 and 18 release dates across Europe.

Though the game has yet to come out, we have seen a sneak peak at some of the overalls for the players and goalies in the game.

The Carolina Hurricanes will have some players with overall boosts and overall decreases in this year’s NHL game.

For a complete look at the ratings from the Canes and the rest of the NHL, take a look at the video below.

All the player positions will be listed according to their position in the actual game. Some players may have a varying position in real life that isn’t represented in the game.

Take note that not all players that will compete for a roster spot have had their overalls exposed yet, so guys like Noah Hanifin, Danny Biega, Haydn Fleury, Zach Boychuk, and others will not be listed in the following slides.

You will see that EA Sports largely got it right in my opinion. They didn’t miss horribly on any players, and most of the team was right where they should be. Also, just a hand full of players saw rating decreases from last year, while many players saw their overalls jump 2-4 points in NHL 16.

Let’s take a look at all the players on the Carolina Hurricanes and what their overall is in the game, followed by my opinion of the rating.
