Prime example on the need for editing rosters, not just naming them.

The freshman RB for Ohio State is rFR Jamal Berry, he was highly touted coming out of high school...probably shouldn't be an 86 though.

Also, one of the freshman DL that is rated a 89 is actually a junior. Sorry don't remember his name, but the roster issues go deeper than just a rating.

To be honest, Alabama played up against an inexperienced freshman QB in Garrett Gilbert, i mean come on i'm pretty sure Colt McCoy would've made a difference, when he got hurt the whole team came crashing down in momentum. Alabama may have lost if he didn't get hurt. It's terrible to see a defense full players who have barely played be 95 or higher, and one game can change a difference how ratings are made. Alabama is sooooo overrated its ridiculous. Like i said they played up against an inexperienced FRESHMAN QB.

Even though we shouldn't lower awareness that much, I still think it needs lowered mostly across the board. I feel like the only players who should have 90's awareness are upperclassmen who have already played 2 or 3 seasons. Awareness causes players to make decision right? Tons of mistakes are made on the field, so it should be represented.

I also agree about Alabama's roster being overrated. Nothing against Bama, they are just the easy target in this situation. Most of the big teams are way overrated. But this is just my opinion...

For example if you see a WR at 5'11 and weighs only 180 lb's and EA assigned that little guy a break Tackle tackle rating of 80 all you have to do is lower that rating down into the 40-50 range and his overall will drop substantially without even touching a single other rating if you choose not to. Anyone who screws with awareness and lowers it is only going to hinder the gameplay on the field because the awareness ratings are kinda like your engine behind the car. There's quite a few other little ratings that you can reduce without really effecting the IMPACT of that player on the field other than reducing his overall rating.....but that requires patience and time because it's more of individual player by player tweak.

That's fine, but I'm not really sure exactly how to tweak every single position to where I just don't feel like I'm getting screwed over, but I'm sure you'll have something to fix that too...oh well

Backups who have never seen real playing time are rated like 3 year all conference performers all over the place. FIVE guys rated a 95 EIGHT guys rated a 94 or higher. I consider a 95 rating as the best of the best. A First or Second team All American. There are others like this, but this one jumps out at me. There is plenty of talent at Bama, but these kind of ratings are so over the top that it clarifies why a solid community roster with good edits across the board will make the NCAA 11 experience that much more enjoyable.

how did u see those rosters?

[tommycoa]

Check out my Alabama roster at teambuilder. tcoaker is the gamertag. They are still pretty good but a hell of a lot more toned down than what we were given.

lol yea that's crazy but its not a big deal to me I'd still beat that team on the game.

He's an Auburn fan. Undeated National Champions is foreign to him!
