Totally get rid of the ratings but maybe have a way to enter our rankings into the players data. So we work during the preseason and we say "HB 33 seems to be a pretty decent speed back. Probably a 88-90. So we open the players data and enter that. Something like that. Have the players abilities go up/down and make weekly practices mean something. Lastly let us have a full pre-season roster and have to make cuts. Just my .02.

Come on man. Im a Sim freak myself but that would be too much...lol

Care to explain why?
As it is right now the combine etc. is just useless cd space using junk.
We have to go through it to see what "ratings" the players are. I want full rosters and the ability to make my own decisions on what a player is good/bad at and make cuts based on that. I don't see how that is asking too much.
You pick a group of players you want to look at. They do the drills while you watch and make a decision on who to look at the next day etc.
Did that player just have a bad day? or is the player just weak in that area etc.
I don't know. I don't see how it's asking too much.
I know EA would never do that as the bulk of their fan base wouldn't like it.
I'm just saying it could be done and it is what I would love to have.

That answered your question right there.

Still though. they need to fix the core gameplay before they do this because you have bums making miraculous plays...lol

I feel you on the idea but no way in hell EA does this.
