I didn't notice any difference when going from team to team with the exception of the QB. When I played against the Patriots, I didn't fear Moss ; when I played with the Cardinals I didn't fear Fitz or Boldin. When playing against Vikings, the difference between Peterson and Taylor were minimal if not non-existent ; Jared Allen was like any other DE in the game and for some reason, no matter who the LDE was, they'd get more sacks that the RDE which is the teams best pass rusher. I played a franchise with the Eagles were by week 5 Juqua Parker(LDE) had 10 sacks, Cole(RDE) at the time had 3 and the CPU still didn't slide protection over to Parker. That's why I tried to see if all the people that claimed the ratings were meaningless were telling the truth. As it turns out, they were.

This statement is just wrong.. WR I may not see a big differnce in say from Moss to Kevin Curtis, but there is a differnce peroid.
Now as far as the RBs go there is a HUGE differnce when playing against MBIII or AP, compared to playing a M.Lynch or Thomas Jones.. I think you need to check your sliders..
