Well, I decided to do some experimenting in franchise after playing a quick game. (I need sliders :P)
I have simulated through 3 seasons, all 3 with NCAA Draft classes.
I'm having some major concerns... remember these are only for the imported draft classes. I haven't looked at the Madden classes yet. Those may be ok, and I may end up using those.
Quarterbacks: Only one quarterback has come in over 75 overall in the last 3 years. I won't mention who, but he is now an 80 overall. The 3rd and most recent class... BIG BIG problems. The ratings of EVERY qb drafted in the 3rd season... 59, 57, 57, 56, 56, 55, 54, 54, 52, 47, 34 ....
This has me VERY worried.
Running Backs: Actually look pretty good. Star guys coming in around 80. Two of them have progressed into the 90s already. Everything looks good here. Minus one thing.... players don't hold true to what they are. Noel Devine came in as the second best player in his class at running back... which makes sense. BUT his speed is 88... UMMMMMMMMMM????? Yeah... problem there
Wide Receiver. Much like quarterbacks at first. The highest rated WR from the last 3 drafts is currently a 84. That's ok. Most star WR are coming in at the mid 70s and progressing slowly. Not sure where that's going.

Everything else looks. My only real concern is with the quarterbacks. I'm not sure if it's just my classes, or if this is a major problem. I'll go recreate all 4 classes in NCAA tomorrow and test it again. Hopefully will get some different results.
Other than this, everything looks pretty solid. (Stats look fantastic. Very realistic)
Edit: I think I found the problem. Almost every rookie from these draft classes have an awareness under 50. That is why the QB ratings are sooooo low, because awareness plays a big part in their overall rating. These quarterbacks have about 30 awareness which automatically drops them sooo far.
