NCAA Football 09 Beta Player Rating Screenshots

[UtahUtes32]

The University of Utah finished with the #1 pass effeciency defense, as well as finished in the top 20 in overall defense, yet we are rated a 69 on defense. My biggest gripe is our K/P #35 Louie Sakoda being rated a 84 overall, ok Louie Sakoda WAS AN ALL AMERICAN LAST YEAR, he is not a prospective All-American this year, like the other kickers/punters rated 94/95 in the game, HE MADE 3 ALL AMERICAN TEAMS LAST YEAR!!! Both as a Kicker and a Punter, I just dont get how they can rate him a 84 overall.

colt's down a couple points from a 92 to 89 seems about right, i can't wait to play with john chiles though....

I have no clue who plays on defense at the University of Utah or who comes back (or who left). But finishing in the Top 20 in defense while playing in the Mountain West conference is hardly worth hanging your hat on. Team rankings in college football are almost meaningless because of strength of schedule.

Same, when the ratings come out it gets even more crazy."blah blah blah should not be rated a 90, what are you thinking EA?"

Are these ratings set in stone? Or will they change because this is just a beta version? Because after looking at a few ratings pages,namely Colorado and Kansas,these ratings are all screwed up. They have Maurice Lucas (le #91) as Colorado's best player? That's absurd. He should be rated maybe no higher than 80-82. George Hypolite (dt #86) was an all conference player and arguably Colorado's best player and gets a rating of 85? I swear he was higher than that in last years version...and imo should be at least a 90-92. Cody Hawkins was an 83 in last yrs game yet he isnt at least over an 85? Pfft. But the one that REALLY makes me laugh is Colorado's rb #20 Brian Lockridge...he's a 5'7 175 scatback who's fast as hell...they gave him a 90 spd rating,which isn't too bad but i'd think should be a notch or two higher. But the funniest thing about his ratings is the 85 break tackle. WTF? Rediculous.

I'm a Colorado fan not Kansas,but going off these ratings the Jayhawks are getting ROBBED. They went 12-1 and won the Orange Bowl yet they're given a 77 overall team rating? LOL. Thank god we can edit player attributes.

Sorry for the rant-i realize there's 119 teams with 85 players but EA really needs to pay better attention to this...at least look at last years stats and judge player ratings.

EA said they are still changing the rosters and ratings over time before release. Nobody knows what ratings will remain the same in the final version.

Cool. Normally EA's ratings are fairly accurate and i could never expect them to have every single players rating perfect,but some of these are downright bad.

One other thing-congrats FSU fans. Because after a 7-6 season,there must be a FSU fan/grad working in EAs ratings dept. Man they made them one of the best teams in the entire game.

I don't know if this guy is taking requests.....but I'd like to know #44 LB for Clemson.

Thanks.
