RATINGS
based on
http://www.pro-football-reference.com
All players created and rated, with extra players (4 TE, 4 FB, etc) taken from nearby seasons.
I rated all for the upcoming patch, assuming that it solves all of our problems. If not, a global edit can fix all, however, even with DBs at 1 FOCUS and 1 AGILITY they are still making picks all day long currently. I assume this will be fixed and we should have an announcement very soon from Todd, the dev!
Meanwhile, if you want to try these out before the patch, I suggest you try
209,90,75,209 OL
90 ,80,80,90 rb
90,70,70,90 te
209,70,70,100 qb
110, 70, 70, 90 FB
1, 1, 75-80, 70 S
1, 1, 75-80, 50 cb
40, 20, 65-80, 75 LB
10 DL
which will give you a decent game, but STILL have more INTs than you want.
The Patch is still desperately needed.

Subs and scrubs will be rated lower.
I have also given each team its bias based on the specific season in the file, so they should play true to life. ('72 Dolphins have run bias, '99 Rams have pass bias, etc., and for attribute bias, if a team had low turnover totals on offense and high on defense, they were FOCUS biased, etc.)
The one thing that is truly broken and I would be surprised to find fixed in the patch is simmed stats. That is a hopeless situation where a scrub can lead the league, and kick returners are linemen, but I have my fingers crossed.
NOW HEAR THIS:
I know many of you would like to substitute other NFL teams instead of the ones I picked. That's fine, feel free to change any team you like.
It will take you a few hours per team, but as long as you follow the scale above, it will mesh with the other teams created in the league.
Just tweak till you feel it's right.
Enjoy.
