The Blue Board

I would have the ratings higher myself, just trying to be unbiased and I'm aware that EA won't have the ratings in that neighborhood anyways.

It's just a monopoly. Wish like crazy some other franchise could get in on the action. EA just screws us every year. Trying to tickle our ears with a "brand new stiff arm cam!!!!!" or something

Amen

This one is retarded..

3 step drop!
5 step drop!
7 step drop!

Damn, I can do that by myself on NCAA 1997

Seriously. I will still probably fall for it and buy it, but I always feel used.

looked it over again

I would make Pender an 80 and Reid an 87

Also I would boost Jernigan and Dawkins

Give Dawkins a 94 and Jernigan a 95

I think Jernigan will be our best DT this year and pass Dawkins for that title

* Starter on A-formation

Added Absentee Trojan's suggestions.

NCAA 2010 was last version I played so I went off the way they would sort of be ranked in that game...

/Don't judge me.

I'm still toying around with some of them... I originally had him at 92. 96 is a little high until he can show me he can create more turnovers... I want to rate Bailey higher though, and perhaps some of the OT's.

Uko is a stud, the others are ☆☆☆☆ guys with not a whole lot of experience... They would normally be about an 80-81 as Fr, but depth is the problem, not capability, especially at nose (although I didn't differentiate). Woods and Tavai play NT, Temple would be the backup I believe.

Wish we could trade Goldman for Banner. And I say that while being pretty man crush on Goldman.

My suggestions:

- Possibly bump Barkley up. Even though I don't really agree with it, they always seem to make the top QB a 99, and Barkley will be that guy.

- Soma is rated a little too high for a guy that hasn't seen the field

- Farmer seems too high, but the problem is that if you put his actual speed/acc stats in, he'll automatically be up there. So not sure what to do there.

- Chad Wheeler should be lower. He's a project. Well... I guess he's already had an offseason, as he's an EE. So... maybe.

- Marcus Martin needs to be higher than an 84.

- I think Kennard should be a little higher than an 88, but that's a reasonable rating considering he hasn't proven anything. he has the tools to be in the low-90s.

- Kevin Greene should not be ahead of Breslin, Townsend, or Williams. I'm guessing he's behind all of them come fall. So he either needs to get knocked down.

- Bailey should be higher than 88. If you input his real awareness, speed, acc, etc it would easily push him higher than that

- Robey's real speed/acc/awr combo would get him a better rating than that

- TJ should be somewhere in the 93 range.

- Heidari should be a lot higher. I don't think he really deserves to be an 88 or so, but the fact is that he has exceptional leg strength and good accuracy. In the game, that results in an inflated rating. If you don't do that, he'll struggle getting touchbacks or getting the distance for ~48 yard FGs. We know that's not the case.

Banner would be competing with a 6'3 310 RJr guy at RT right now.
