After the lawsuit gets settled, the reverse is going to happen. EA won't be able to use anything resembling real players after that.

Honestly I think this is due to online play. The more teams are rated in the 80s to low 90s then the more teams will be used online which is good for that game mode.

On the flip side - for those who play dynasty this is only an issue for the first few years until the current players are gone and it all works out once the recruits take over. So for me - its no issue. I play with a 1* to start and by the time I've built it up to where I care these guys are gone anyways.

Yep...they've always been heavy handed with ratings...especially speed ratings for players and team ratings. That's why we have an editor and I'm thankful.

Yeah, they always inflate the ratings. It is too bad, I would really like to see the ratings stretched out more.

That doesn't make a damn bit of difference when they rate Alabama's roster like they're the '85 Bears. I literally see no reason to play as anyone else online this year.

An unfortunate implication of this is in dynasty. The closeness in ratings allows for too many upsets.
