currently in nhl 09 the game matches up players to your skill level, which is calculated by your win-loss record and what rank players you win or lose to.

in nhl 09 u can set your online versus play to match up with players around your same rank. so if you're just starting out you'll be unranked and listed as 10000.. until u accumulate enough stats to be ranked on the leaderboard. so u can set it to limit your opponents to around wherever you're ranked at..

or u can set it to find players of any rank. i say rank because this doesn't necessarily reflect skill and level of play.

but generally games do get tougher as u play higher-ranked players. but the thing is, currrently u have no idea what rank your opponent is as you are matched up, unless u can recognize their PSN ID.

if u play enough, usually right after the opening faceoff it's easy to gauge your opponent's skill level..
