#87-#100: 70How did you come up with that Top 25?
Using ESPN's early top 25 predictions, which can be found hereMay I ask two questions about the chart? Are the rankings you use by position or are you using a national ranking that includes all players at all positions? Did you come up with the OVR ranges in the chart by studying the recruits generated in dynasty mode?
Its mostly just national ranking, but on some positions (QB) for example I will grade a little differently sometime. The OVR will comes close with the generated recruits on dynasty, only difference with mine is you wont see many diamonds in the rough. I'll post a pic of a dynasty I uploaded in the editor where it shows the overalls of the recruits...The highest recruits are 85/84 and most the time those guys are kickers and punters. Doing these the last couple of years I have looked backed at previous yrs game to see where certain guys have came in at.
For the incoming freshman on this roster, I do not agree with using a table matching ranking to OVR. Each player should be rated individually rather than on a scale. An overall is nothing but a badly done average of individual ratings. If you want any help rating some of these incoming freshman, I'd be happy to help. This is a great project and I look forward to playing with this roster.
I agree that the table will have its flaws, but at the same time numbers that have been posted of 40 times and other stats are just as flawed. I've tried this before somewhat and believe me it just creates fights over this guy is better then him and so on...Remember this is basically trying to predict the future with guys who have not played a down yet, there will be some boom and bust no doubt but I cant predict that.
The recruits are too low/too high...
Simming couple seasons using the method I've done this yr and past yrs is kind of a happy medium, if you rank them too high - then come their SR season you will be seeing ALOT of high 90s, do them too low and you are gonna see alot of players cut when the next set of recruits come in.
Do you improve the others players during the offseason?
Yep, about all the players have 2 pt upgrade to their overall but there are some cases where we might say well this guy was too high to begin with. Also will give additional pts for guys on All American list (I use Phil Steele's) as well as checking stats on cfbstats.com
Guys are too slow...
Still tinkering around things with speed, I do think the game plays better at a slower speed but, I also did it for dynasty purposes as progression from yr to yr they will gain more speed. Still if you feel a guy is too low, just post it and we will check it out...
Can these be transferred over to the PS3?
No, they cannot.
Wow. This is impressive work done already. I was expecting it would be a couple of weeks before this came out. I'll let you know when I check them out.
Wish I could offer to do a team, but I only know Auburn really well, and you seem to have that handled already.
Not sure of any real alternatives, but I've found Rivals to be the least reliable and most bias of any recruiting ranking system. Most sites will have similar consensus ratings with classes overall being ranked in the same ball park. I've seen some rivals classes for some schools that are almost 30 spots or more away from most other sites. For instance having a #30 class in most sites, and rivals putting it in the 60's.
I would have to disagree, think there is even an article about Rivals being the most accurate...Will say ESPN and 24/7 have stepped up their game quite a bit. (Specially ESPN who I thought was terrible couple years ago) Scout, I am just not a huge fan of, I do think all of them have some bias according to member sites and what camps they are connected with.
Not saying that because it benefits my team either, think we finished #10 on ESPN and #12 on Rivals. There are a few guys I think rivals has underrated for us just like I'm sure everyone else does, just make the changes on the roster you are using like I did.
Miami is done,but if you see any corrections that need to be made post them and me and UGA will get the corrected. All of the coaching changes are up to date. If there is a Xx on any of the coaches that means they havent hired any one yet.
