I was scrolling through some stats earlier and saw another player hit that "perfect" 99 rating. It’s funny how much weight we put on these digital numbers these days. I remember back in the day, a high rating felt like a genuine nod to how much of a beast someone was on the field, but now it feels like every superstar gets bumped up to the ceiling eventually.
It makes me wonder if these ratings are even an accurate reflection of skill or if they're just a marketing tool to drive hype. If everyone is "perfect" in the game, does the prestige of being an elite player actually vanish? It feels like we're moving toward a world where "maxed out" is the new baseline, and that kind of kills the fun of seeing who the true outliers are.
Do you guys think these ratings are still a legitimate way to measure talent, or is it just a way to sell more copies of the game?
