Player ratings

I'm a bit confused. I saw a comparison between Drew Doughty in NHL 25 and 26, and one with Adam Fox.

Drew Doughty had plenty of changed ratings (lower speed among other things), but when it came to Adam Fox, he looks exactly the same, every rating I believe.

This raises some questions for me. Does it mean he was already adjusted to the NHL Edge data before, or has his skills not been updated on the page? The latter strike me as more likely, but then why even show them? And if he was already adjusted in NHL 25, it would mean some were and some weren't? Which doesn't make sense either... so what does make sense? 🤔

As one who will do plenty of editing, it would be nice to know which ratings can be trusted. What are the odds that Adam Fox has the same ratings in NHL 26 with NHL Edge data and NHL 25 without (at least not officially)? I'm just curious, since most years the ratings are not final at this point. Any information to share on this? Are the ratings we can see here accurate or will things be adjusted?

Bonus question! With the possibility of this player being in a team near you in a year or two, will it be possible to create bigger players anytime soon? 😅
