Will someone please direct their attention to the overall team rankings. The Steelers have a team overall of 83 while the Ravens sit at 85. It's been that way for 3 updates now and it's making it very hard to take any of these changes seriously

As has been spoken about more times than I can count - Using overalls (team or player) to judge ratings is not the way to go. You would be much better off examining the changes on a player by player/individual rating base.

Why have them if they are going to be grossly inaccurate? I don't care if they use the rankings from NFL.com but having a 9-5 team ranked lower than a 4-11 team is ridiculous regardless

Seems to me these rating boosts are for those with quick or Superstar development. They increase attributes for Patrick Peterson like 97 for man coverage, but when starting a franchise with him, his consistency is just 45 and still normal development. They only boost or reduce attributes but don't change consistency or development.

Unless something has changed, team overall ratings are entirely useless. Donny once said that it is a made up number he gives to teams. It is not based off of any calculations.

100% agree! This bothers me to no end. The Raiders & Ravens are rated higher than the Steelers smh. Really EA? Get the overall team ratings correct!

as much as it pains me to say denver is not a 92 more like a 88
