The FCS Project/Team Directory

Re: The FCS Project/Team Directory

I just created Illinois State Redbirds and will be doing a few more MVFC teams. I generally kept in mind the ratings discussed in the other thread. However, I am not done with the rosters and ratings. The overall team rating should be about right as of now though. I may also be changing the stadium once NCAA 11 comes out and I can see it in game.

Alright. Well let me start off with where I believe FCS teams should be sitting in terms of ratings and rankings.

Here is what I have come up for FCS teams in terms of player attributes:

Back-Ups: 65-75
Starters: 72-78
All-American Honorable Mentions: 78-82
All-American 2nd Team: 80-84
All-American 1st Team: 84-89
NFL Prospects: 88-94

As for Program Info:

Academic Prestige: F to A (Some FCS Schools have better academics than FBS; ex: Ivy League)

Campus Lifestyle: F to A (Some FCS schools have similar campus lifestyles to those of the best FBS schools)

Coach Experience: F to C (Maybe a few exceptions)

Coach Prestige: F to C-

Championship Contender: F to D

Athletic Facilities: F to C- (Exceptions? Any FCS schools have athletic facilities that compare to the best of FBS?)

Fan Base: F to C

Pro Potential: F to C-

Program Stability: F to C

Program Tradition: F to B

Television Exposure: F to C-

Again these are the ratings and ranges that I initially believe most FCS schools fall into. Feel free to modify, debate (agree or disagree) with anything above. Let's get this discussion going so we can have the most accurate FCS teams out there!

sikolec did a good job and i think we should go by this. i made Duquesne last season and will do it again this year. ill do other northeast conference teams if i have time.

Re: The FCS Project/Team Directory

As I stated in another thread, I have many FCS logos that can be used to make these teams. Just let me know what you need. I would love to help make these teams as accurate as possible.

I love that guide. 94 might be high for an NFL prospect. For example Ducasse (LT- UMASS) last year would have been a 90-92 by me and he was easily the best FCS prospect. and a guy like Armanti Edwards might land in the same area as well for an NCAA rating.

IMO three guys should be in the 90s this yr from FCS schools... Ben Ijalana (Villanova), Mark LeGree (App State), and Pat Devlin (Delaware).

I also think we should use "F" ratings liberally for program info.

I had trouble too, so I switched to IE instead of firefox. I'll add you to the directory.

Are they on your computer or do u have a site? I'd love to have people using logos without the copyright symbols. And possibly using alternates not on EA's site.

I'll be able to start working on these Saturday and until then, I'll stay updated on who makes who.

Hey guys-

Since last year it seemed like everyone created an infinite amount of the few teams some creations were neglected in favor for those with a higher download count. This year lets not let that happen!!! Let's use this thread to create a uniform set of guidelines for player ratings, team ratings, etc. so that all of our FCS teams play nicely.

This OP will be used to create a directory of the most accurate FCS teams on teambuilder with direct links to them. I can do EWU as accurately as anybody but first we should discuss how we will scale the program info like.... academic prestige, fan base, television exposure, etc. and player ratings.

Hopefully mrlux will lend himself to the project as he became a teambuilder guru last year. Otherwise if you're confident you can nail a team and will be receptive of people's feedback claim a team or two and lets see if we can have a decent sized list by the time NCAA 11 launches.

SCHOOLS

Eastern Washington University (EWU)-Myself http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...655:1277172907 WIP Just an example, it's far from done.

This upsets me, tbh. No red field is available. Would be EPIC. and no I wouldn't use EWU (just noticed BOTH EWU and WSU use letters to make their logo into an animal lol), I sure would use it plenty for other TB teams of mine :P

Sure bro, I dont mind..I just happen to come across this thread and seen my name. You shouldve sent me a message so I couldve responded sooner. So what exactly do you need me to do since I have most of the FCS teams created already although the rosters and playbooks could use some assistance from the group.

**dhs22p** · 06-21-2010, 10:47 PM

Re: The FCS Project/Team Directory

A little tip to help make the teams look better:

Don't make the logo fill up the entire 256 X 256 shrink it down a little more then place it in the 256 x 256. Will look more like the right size this way.

Is there any particular teams/conferences u specialize in? I've got a feeling this will be easy until we start scaling the ratings. Also for ratings I was thinking.

All these will have their exceptions but should be few and far between
Top 3 Round NFL Talent: 90-94
Round 4-5ish NFL Talent: 86-89
UDFA to Round 7 NFL Talent: 78-85
Starters: 68-78
Second String: 62-68
Others: <62

My thinking is incoming Frosh for an FBS school will bet in the 50-60 range. The Elite guys will stick out like a sore thumb much like they do in real life in an FBS game. All-American lists like the one posted are ok to reference but a guy like Michael Herrick is getting tons of hype b/c of a good 1/2 half and a huge game vs EWU's bad secondary.
