Exactly. I would also love to see Wills and Sams instead of LOLBs and ROLBs

Kane, Graham at a 95? I knew you weren't a homer. Fly Eagles Fly!

I said this at EA Play to Clint and I'm glad that I saw it again in the Donald screenshot, but thank God that Frostbite allowed them to properly render the 49ers gold pants! They've been so shiny since going to ignite and now they're actually accurate! The only quibble with the actual ratings is Melvin Ingram being ranked above Joey Bosa. Bosa ripped up his opponents last year and I'm shocked that he's not at least 90 overall.

I checked Aaron Donalds 40 time at the combine.
It's 4.68. I didn't realize how fast he was.

Gronk's combine 40 is the same and they both have
the same speed rating, 83.

EA must be using the combine numbers to factor in their
ratings.

Except when they pick and choose who not to use them for. Very inconsistent.

No they're not otherwise King wouldn't have 83 agility.

Why are the PRC and AWR ratings the same for every defensive player in every roster? I've seen Clint say several times that they are used for different things. He even gave a fairly detailed account one time. If they are so different, why are they identical? And doesn't this throw off OVR totals and game play mechanics?

Appreciate any insight you can give on that.
