Macklin Celebrini will feature a player rating of 82 overall when EA Sports NHL 25 releases for its early access period on Sept. 27.

EA Sports is about to release NHL 25 and recently gave fans new player ratings. How do Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins stack up?

EA Sports' annualized NHL title will enter Early Access in just 11 short days, and there has been a distinct lack of marketing. The EA NHL YouTube channel has just two videos, and the official Twitter account has shared more preorder information than actual features.

San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini still has some things to prove as he prepares to play his first game in the National Hockey League

NHL 25 has revealed its top 10 player rating for the game before its launch in October. There’s always the discussion of “who’s the best player in the league?” for any sport. Hockey is no different, as fans will want to know who EA Sports rated as the top players in the game.

The only defenseman that ranks higher than Josi in NHL 25 is the Norris Trophy winner from last season, Quinn Hughes. While Josi is the only d-man to receive a 93 overall rating, Hughes is a 94 overall. The closest defensemen behind Josi are both Miro Heiskanen and Victor Hedman at 92 overall.
