The EA guys seem to be "dodging" ratings questions.

Well Sammie Stroughter isnt even in this years game. A 3rd team AA from 2006 then got injured last year, and isnt even in the game...theres an even better one. Not a 70 who deserves a 90. A 90+ for 2 years running and hes not even in the game...

Well maybe Mel Kiper. Granted the community could come together and pool resources in team knowledge, but I guarantee you that there will be tons of fluff because almost every fan of team thinks a lot of their players are underated. Even after that you get into arguments over even how to rate what you think is right compare to another fan. I have had plenty of gripes with the game in the past, but this is never one of them. As the EA guy said, why is everybody so worked up about something they can change anyway? And if you're playing online, tough crap, pick a new team if you're not happy. The game can still be fun if OL #72 strength is too low or FS #10 isn't fast enough.

sure it's subjective, but it is just nice to at least have all of the starters in real life rated higher than the backups, ya know.
