    Devin Hester 99 speed?


    When I started my franchise with the Bears, before simming anything or even doing anything I went to my depth chart to check something and there was Hester. Speed: 99 (-1)

    Restarted my franchise a couple times and same results. He loses that 1 point no matter what.

    No big deal just don't understand why it happens before anything is simmed.

      Probably has to do with the Bears' coaches?

        I started a franchise with the Bengals three different times, and every time the Browns went from a 67 overall to an 83 in the franchise.

        The rating change happened before playing a game.

          They probably picked up a few good free agents.

            Ooh! I know theanswer to this one. When EA releases the game (or a roster update), they assign a rating to each team. It is just a number and doesn't actually reflect the team. When you start franchise, the game takes all the teams' players ratings and recalculate the overall rating. So they are also an 83 in Play Now, the 67 is just what EA thinks of the team.

                That would really make me mad if they brought Hester's rating down to 99. I run it back better with him knowing he's the fastest guy in the game.

                  Probably cause each year a player loses speed.

                    Doesnt just happen to him, happens to Reggie Bush and everyone else who has a 100 rating. Manning comes to mind too, i guess the 100 point doesnt really mean anything.

                        That neglects the whole point of being rated 100.

                        Even though it's just one point, decline shouldn't happen as soon as the franchise starts with no simming or playing at all.

                        Once again, no big deal. Just find it funny how EA promoted the 100 rating and as soon as you start it drops to 99.

                          maybe they just used 100 to say HEY they are 100 guys... but they went back to the 0 99 rating when the true game starts..

                            if that's true, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why would EA ever think that would be a good idea?

                              I'm pretty sure that they picked up some decent free agents......not because they recalculate everything.
