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

Looking at Bama's default set on the NCAA 11 Teambuilder site.

*NOTE* This is a defense that is replacing EIGHT starters.


LE #96-94 overall
LE #92-90 overall (Sophomore)
RE #57-95 overall (Marcel Dareus..the only guy so far that actually deserves a 90+ rating)
RE #94-88 overall (RS FRESHMAN, never played a down of college ball yet)
DT #99-95 overall
DT #64-90 overall (Sophomore)
LOLB #5-95 overall
LOLB #55-88 overall
MLB #35-95 overall (Sophomore)
MLB #30-92 overall (Dontae Hightower, only second guy who actually deserves a 90+)
MLB #2-87 overall (Sophomore)
ROLB #41-93 overall
ROLB #47-83 overall (True Freshman)
CB #21-95 overall (Sophomore, never started a game before)
CB #1-91 overall
CB #9-86 overall (Sophomore)
CB #22-85 overall
FS #23-94 overall
FS #37-85 overall (Sophomore)
SS #4-94 overall
SS #18-88 overall (Sophomore)

Let me say it again..replacing EIGHT starters on defense. 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.

I already have a re-rating excel sheet in the making that will drop once rosters are finished with names. You can see in the My Rates vs EA rates thread what I did to Alabama Defense

Sounds interesting. Will have to check that out.

You can always edit them yourself. Keep in mind that everyones opinion is different. Do i think this team is rated to high? Maybe....but Alabama did have an undefeated national championship season. Hard to argue that.

It's very easy to argue that. They lost 8 starters off of that defense.

8 players rated at least a 94 overall is absurd. Many of those guys have not played any real amount of time in anything other than mop up duty.

It's not just Bama this year. EA has done this every year with the previous year's MNC team.

It's not just Alabama. They are the easiest to point out though with EA literally jacking every player up to All American levels.

RS Freshman at 88s overall? First time starters at 95 overall...95? That's first team All American level.

LOL

That's a damn Pro Bowl defense.......Looks like EA has Alabama going back in time with Biscuit, DT, Lowe, LeRoy, Hand, Lyons, E.J., Teague, Langham, and McNeal all on the field together

Come to think of it that 88 rated Soph SS blows away my 85 rated Tommy Wilcox who is a Sr every year after i finish his ratings.

I think Roman Harper in Madden 10 was around a 73 and Rashad Johnson was around a 67

They definetly need to start spending more time on reducing this types of ratings down next year.

Wow, de ja vu. AA going off about how overrated Bama is. I guess EA is giving them the benefit of the doubt for the all the top recruiting classes and championships.

I will say I agree that the ratings for some players are too high, but everyone on this forum knows that the rosters are edited by the community every year, so it's really not a big deal.

Oh yeah, you don't think Barron should be 90+?

Naw man. They are right on point....with the 85 Chicago Bears.

Not the only team, but definitely an easy one to point out.
