NCAA Football 11 Video: "Preliminary" Dynasty Team Ratings

Re: NCAA Football 11 Video: "Preliminary" Dynasty Team Ratings

I understand their recent bowl success, but who actually knows what goes into prestige? Is it recent success (then how are UM and ND both still 6*)? Is it based on history (then how is Boise a 5*)?

Thats the million dollar question.

No, I just spoke my mind about Slingblade's comments, but Moylan is right. I just get irritated at bandwagoners when I actually went to school there, go to every football game, and have been using them in every NCAA back to Bill Walsh football regardless of their ratings, and then people like him get me flamed when we're actually worth mentioning again.

Oh, alright then.

Using bowl games as an argument nowadays isn't saying much considering many teams with .500 records go to bowls. The fact is that Kentucky has been nothing more than a barely above .500 team if you take their records over the past 4 seasons. And of those past 4 seasons they haven't finished above 4-4 in the SEC. So 3* is right where they need to be.

+1

This is laughable, I am sure you have used some of my contributions to this site and MaddenMania since 2001, so when you make a statement like this you just look ignorant.

Slingblade, quit making Alabama fans look bad please.

Secondly, I am really disappointed about Alabama's ratings.

I was really excited at first, as that I have been a huge Bama fan all my life, have a degree from Alabama, and am currently in law school at Alabama. I'm thinking that after owning every NCAA since NCAA 98' with Wuerffel on the cover, Alabama will finally be a Top 5 team on the game when we have usually been ranked 15-25.

Now I'm a big online player, not huge in dynasty, and I have always used Alabama, even when they were unranked, against everyone, including the number 1 ranked cheesers, but now that EA has given them all 99's across the board and made them the GOAT, people are going to assume that I'm only using Alabama because they are #1 rather than being a life long diehard fan and student of the University.

Thank you EA, for already ruining my online experience with my favorite team.

In my opinion, Alabama deserves a 95 on offense and an 87 on defense.

I am shocked that EA did not contact you for approval this year.

The guy was just trying to make a point about his team being overrated, no reason to be a jerk.

If he would keep his mouth shut then I would.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 30 and have been a Bama fan since I was a kid. I've stuck with Bama through all the bad times and while I couldn't be happier with their success, IRL, them being so good in the game kind of takes the challenge away for me. Last year, I played an offline dynasty on Heisman and won the NC 3 out of 5 years. Which isn't two bad but, considering the years I didn't win I only lost 1 game makes it not as fun for me because the challenge just isn't there.

This year, I'm joining an online dynasty for the 1st time and I'm strongly considering taking another team. I know it's going to be hard because Bama is the team I know and I love but, I'm thinking that picking another team for my OD is the best way to go for a challenge this year.

Slingblade, how about you just go away & never come back to this site. Or any other website where you will make the entire fanbase of The University of Alabama look ignorant, obnoxious, a jerk & just down right idiotic.

Just ingore him bro. No sense in responding to a fool. Don't get yourself an infraction over him.

Ok, number one, I don't understand why Michigan State is a three star program when teams like UCF are 3* as well. I feel for you Arkansas and Cal fans as well, lol. On to the next issue; why is Michigan rated better than Michigan State? Michigan lost their best player at every defensive position group, and two of their biggest playmakers. DB's lost Warren (and Cissoko) LB's lost Steve Brown, and DL lost Graham (Michigan's best player from last year). Michigan State returns every starter on the DL except the struggling Trevor Anderson, and they return Greg Jones, Eric Gordon, Chris Norman, and Jon Misch (not that good of a player, just noting depth). In the secondary I can't see how it can get worse than Kendall Davis-Clark, who left, and now Johnny Adams and Chris Rucker are back. So why, EA, is Michigan's defense rated better than MSU's? I'm not saying MSU's defense even needs to go up, Michigan's just needs to go down. Offensively I don't think Michigan is deserving of an 89 but I think they are at least in the neighborhood on that one. I like MSU's 89. It fits.

RU dropped to 3 stars? We were 4 stars last year.

Rutgers isn't that good. They don't deserve 4 stars. 2 of their wins last year was against Div. 2 schools, and another was a steal against Connecticut. Besides, the stars are based on school prestige, not a reflection of how good the team may be from year to year, case in point why Notre Dame and Michigan have a 6 star rating
