Not sure if you other Husker fans are with me, but there are some MESSED UP ratings for Nebraska. I'm going to layout my edits and reasoning for the Huskers, and see if you all agree or disagree. I'll start only with QB's and DB's, and K, since they are the worst offenders.
Quarterbacks
Explanation:
I don't know where on earth EA came up with these acceleration ratings, but they are crazy. On the whole, our QB's are rated way too highly for what they've shown on the field. I adjusted awarenesses down, and kept them in with how old they are, and how long they've been in the offense. Made Taylor Martinez a little faster, but reduced his passing quite a bit, as he's more of a highly talented project as a passer. Lee has more field awareness than Green, but Green has a better arm and is faster. Lee is still the better QB overall.
Defensive Backs
My thoughts here are simple. This is one of, if not THE best, defensive backfields in the country, and they simply aren't rated that way. Compare them to a Bama or Texas, and you'll see why they mostly needed upped in the ratings. Prince got a big jump, as he is easily a first rounder, and probably top 20 pick. Dennard got bumped up a little. I made Gomes a more "big-hitter" type of DB. Pretty much everyone got awareness bumps up, do to the type of defense they are able to handle and execute in Pelini's defense. Thenarse got graded down a bit because of his injuries and coming back he likely isn't on par with the rest of the DB's.
Kickers
Henery is the most accurate kicker in Husker history, and one of the most accurate in the country. Additionally, he's one of the most accurate punters in the country too. His rating was way too low. Kunalic is by far the most powerful kicker in the country, with 86 career touchbacks, more than anyone in the country.
