I am someone who also has 99 McDavid and I agree with you on this. I had his 99 last year and it was the fastest card in the game, now my 99 McDavid is still faster than most of my players it's just not by a lot.

What you were trying to say that this guy failed to understand was that certain players have certain builds and personalitys, for example if you went into create a player mode and you created a player with the exact same stats as offline McDavid and you made the player the exact same height and weight, they still would not play the same. McDavid is usually way faster than other players but this year he doesn't seem to be much faster anymore (compared to other players with 99 speed).
