Game rating and talent score don't seem to correlate too well. I routinely have 3-star talents consistently pull better game ratings than 5-star talents. Makes the talent star rating somewhat irrelevant.

I think this could be due to the roles of the players. For example, a 3-star player will likely face lesser competition in a bottom six role with more limited icetime, whereas the 5-star players (ie top line players) are usually playing against the best players the opposing team has to offer.
So those bottom six/bottom pairing players could be looking better because they're being sheltered as opposed to your 5-star players. Just a possibility anyway.
