    People Planning On Using Alabama?

    With the sudden influx of Alabama fans here on OS, it got me thinking. How many of you actually plan on using The Tide either in dynasty mode or online?

    It's nuts how many of you guys have suddenly come around, I know they won the NT but damn, that many people like them?

    I been a BAMA fan for 25 years and I am sure I will be playing with BAMA as my team but one thing I must say is we should not be 99 on defense, now we have a lot of talent on D but not the experience since we lost 8 defensive starters.

    I love BAMA but I am also fair in saying that I will be glad when our ratings are adjusted by the gurus who know how do accurately do that stuff.

    Roll Tide

    PS I think we should be around a 90 on defense overall.

      Good to see an un-biased Bama fan. Too be honest I don't know much about you guys offense outside of Ingram and I know LESS about the defense, but when I saw you guys were all 99's I was blown away.

      Did you guys lose any starters at all?

        IMO Bamas offense might actually live up to the 99 rating they got but the defense needs some serious editing. I was looking at the roster earlier today and I think they have something like 4 85+ Freshmen on defense alone, that's ridiculous and if the roster editors don't lower their defense significantly I'm gonna have to do it myself and it wont be pretty.

            I'll have a dynasty as Alabama. I don't agree with the ratings we have. I think it should be, 94 on offense because we have tons of talent & experience there. Defense, I say a 94 or 93, the only question is the DBs. The front seven will be just as good & if not better than last year in the end.

            & about all the new Bama users. I looked over on tidesports.com & someone posted something about this site. That is probly where most are coming from.

              We lost an irrelevant WR in Mike McCoy and a couple offensive linemen with Mike Johnson being the most talented, as well as Colin Peek, a great tight end. I really don't think our offense should be much less than a 96 or 97 but I don't think we have a good enough QB to be 99.

              As for defense, we lost a lot of "starters" who would play on the first snap of games, but we rotated a lot, specifically in the front seven so they all have pretty good experience. All of our corners are gone, but we have some great recruits who have performed amazingly in spring training and practice as well as in the games that they did get PT in. Personally, I think our defense should be around a 93-94.

              I just think no team should ever be a 99OVR or an A+OVR.

              Oh, and also about the Bama fans showing up. I've been a reader of these forums for a long time and would make posts here and there looking for Online Dynasties and what not, but was never active enough to choose a signature or avatar. I'm actually a student at Alabama, and even though I was a huge Bama fan before I even entered high school, I completely see how people get annoyed with fans that have no official affiliation with the school being such die hard fans. I'm completely against starting trash talk, even with rivals.

              Also, I plan on using Bama in everything I do, it's my team and I don't think I should feel like I shouldn't use them just because they had a good year and have a high rating.

                im not too concerned with the 99 team rating because how are those even calculated? my concern would be making all their players all sec. its not just an alabama thing, its just how ea rates the big name programs which i was hoping was a thing of the past with the supposedly spread out ratings.
                as far as people using them, people like playing with teams that give them the best chance to win.

                  I'm actually a big fan of the QB(don't even remember his name) but yeah, there is no way he is a 99 overall.

                  I know the defense had that one LB everyone was raving about,not sure if he went pro or not.

                  It seemed like a lot of the new Bama fans on here were giving you guys a bad rep. Just thought it would be cool to see if anyone besides actual Bama fans who were using the team

                    I'm a diehard Bama fan (see sig), and will be attending UA in Fall of '11. I went to every single game last year including the NC. And I do agree that Bama, should NOT be rated a 99 on defense. However, our offense can be very dangerous this year..

                      Bama will live up to its rating IRL. Even if their only offensive weapons were Ingram and Richardson. But add in Jones and (according to NCAA 11 ratings) Maze and if McElroy plays well they will be this year's Florida, favorite to win the champ and be #1 almost all year.

                          As you can probably tell from my screen name, I have been a Bama fan long before this past national title.

                          Having said that....anytime any team wins the championship, no matter which sport it is, there will be a huge influx of bandwagon fans to claim their right to victory. The majority of said fans will all of a sudden become fans of the next team to win the championship.

                          It happens across all sports.

                            I'm 25 and I've been an Alabama fan all my life. I also don't agree with our 99 OVR rating. I believe we should be 90-95 offense because of just about everyone returning this year, especially the key players. On defense I'm thinking 85-89, with overall somewhere between 90-94.

                            I plan on playing an offline dynasty with Alabama but I'm not sure about an online dynasty. If the team is way to over powerful I don't want to be considered a cheeser. With us winning the N.C last year I figured there would be more people showing up on here as Bama fans, some legit some bandwagon, and a lot of online players playing with the Tide.

                              Yea man, I probably will play as Alabama sometimes. Not sure if I'd want to online, really wouldn't fit with my gamer profile pic which is the Gator logo, but maybe something offline. I'd love to try out the running game. And that's saying a lot for me, because no matter how good teams I really dislike such as Georgia, Michigan and OSU are I'll neeeeever play as them, lol. Except for the demo. I guess its harder to hate a team when your favorite team doesn't play them every year. And theres evidence anyway, given how good UF's defense was last year, and bama just steamrolled em with Ingram, and UF just sat there with their thumbs up their asses and gave their RBs like 5 carries...when the running game was what won them every game last year. bleh.
