    Good job on the edits. I always go through and re-edit the Huskers after the rosters come out.There are a couple of things that I would change thought. I laughed out loud when I saw that Lee was faster than C. Green with the default rosters, but Green is faster than a 78. I would keep his acceleration lower, but put his speed up around an 83. I would also keep his awareness a bit higher as well; he did start 2 games last year, and that experience will be valuable this year. I keep his trucking a bit higher as well too; he's a big QB, and isn't afraid of contact. In comparison, that might make me alter Martinez as well: he's more agile and quicker than Lee or Green.. but I think Martinez's biggest attribute is his acceleration, which I'd maybe put at a 92/93.

    Excellent comment on Amukamara. He really got short-changed on the DR. I think Crick did as well; he's going to be a monster this year. I raised him up to a 95, mostly improving his pass-rushing skills. I didn't play around with David much yet, though. I'm going to wait and see what he's doing through Fall camp and the first few games before changing his ratings.

    Did you add any other freshmen to the roster? I changed a couple players, put Quincy Enunwa and Kenny Bell in the WR corp, and created OL Nick Ash. It sucks that our roster is already at 69 players; there are a few more freshmen that need to be on the roster.

    Overally, a great job with the alterations. I'm going to look through my roster and make some changes.
    For my own personal game (they told me to alter ratings as you little as possible) I moved all our QB's down:

    Lee- 84
    Green- 82
    Martinez-80

    Just because they all weren't deserving of the ratings they had. Haven't shown it yet. I did alter Green's speed and did TMart's acceleration just like you (odd?). Raised Prince's overall as well. I took out the scrub LB's and made Jay Guy, Kenny Bell, Dijon Washington. And then I attempted making the "Peso" defense- man that shi-zit was hard!

      Taking the LBs out is not a bad idea. Holt and #22 could both be taken out (I changed #22 to Micah Kreikmeier).

        Yeah I took em out b/c of the mass overload of LB's at LOLB and MLB b/c of the "peso" position players are @ ROLB...

          Re: My Husker Ratings Edits

          I did my own Husker edits worth looking at, based on the OS roster file. It's in my EA Locker: BigHarryPeters (XBox360)

          Players altered significantly:

          All QBs: Lowered by 2 ovr pts.
          ---> Martinez - Acceleration, Speed and Agility heightened to scale better than Green's and Lee's, Throw Power heightened and Throw Accuracy decreased

          HBs:
          ---> Rex Burkhead - Trucking and Break Tackle decreased, Ball Carrier Vision and finesse moves (spin, juke) increased, as well as catching ratings
          ---> Dontrayevous Robinson - Changed first name to look better on screen. Dontrayevou is now Dontraveus so it at least is a full pronounceable name. Also, upped his break tackle and trucking, while decreasing his elusiveness
          ***It seems like a lot of the ratings were poorly distributed for the HBs, Burkhead played with too much power and not enough speed and shiftiness, while Robinson was not nearly the bruiser he is in real life***

          WRs/TEs:
          --->Set WR/TE Mike McNeill as starting TE and #4 WR, you'll have to formation sub him in for some sets at WR though. Also his last name was misspelled, so I added the 2nd "L"

          OL:
          ---> Mike Smith - Decreased all blocking ratings by 1 and awareness by some then moved him to guard (I think), as he won't play tackle this year unless someone gets hurt
          ---> Keith Williams - Upped his pass and run blocking ratings a little, he's supposed to be our best O-Lineman this season

          LB:
          ---> Matt May - Decreased every major rating 1 or 2 points to bring him down to a reasonable 83. Upped his quickness ratings and coverage as he used to play safety
          ---> Sean Fisher & Eric Martin - Adjusted to 83 overall to smooth out the LB competition. It's said to be wide open this year between the three (Martin, Fisher, May)
          ---> Switched positions around - To allow for easy implementation of the Peso package through Formation Subs (see below)

          DB:
          ---> Prince Amukamara - Toyed with some coverage ratings to bring the All-Big 12 CB up a couple ratings points
          ---> DeJon Gomes - Moved to FS where he will start this year, set him as #4 CB on depth chart as well
          ---> Eric Hagg - Boosted tackle, hit power and strength ratings so he can thrive as a LB in the peso. Moved to CB and put him at #3 on the CB depth chart. (see Peso below)
          ---> Rickey Thenarse - Toned back his ratings quite a bit. He was only a special-teams player last year. Big potential but coming off the injury, who knows. Moved him to an 84 overall with Gomes to fight for starting FS.
          ---> Anthony West - Moved to SS where he will see the most playing tilme this year behind PJ Smith. I put him at 3rd in the depth chart at SS behind Smith and Thenarse. Tuned ratings a slight bit.

          K/P:
          ---> Alex Henery - Boosted Kick Power (Nebraska Record for Longest Field Goal) and Accuracy (Most accurate kicker in Nebraska history) as well as awareness. He is now a 96 overall. Fitting for the 1st or 2nd best kicker in all of College Football right now.
          ---> Adi Kunalic - Moved to Kicker. Boosted Kick Power near 99. He's an automatic touchback. After seeing him live during the spring game, I have doubts about his Kick Accuracy, so I downed that.
          ---> Brett Maher (Punter) - Created. He needs to be in the game. He's our future at Punter and he starts at Holder and backs up at Punter. Without him, recruiting will suck having to take into account a Punter.

          How to Implement the Peso Package:
          Substitute Eric Hagg in for the Outside Linebacker (not Will Compton, the other one) in the 4-3 Normal, 4-3 Over, and 4-3 Under.

          How to Implement other Nebraska schemes with Formation Subs:
          4-4 - LOLB - Fisher, LMLB - Compton, RMLB - May, ROLB - Martin
          Dime (2 LB) - LLB - Compton, RLB - Matt Holt, 4CB - Gomes, FS - Thenarse

          Dime (1 LB) - LB - Matt Holt, 4CB - Gomes, FS - Thenarse

          Quarter (3 Deep) - CB4 - Gomes, SS1 - Smith, FS1 - Thenarse, SS2/FS2 - West

          Wildcat - Using Colorado State/Pittsburgh/Cal/Kentucky playbook (similar to Nebraska's) Formation sub Wildcat QB for Rex Burkhead, Wildcat HB for Roy Helu, Optional: FB for Dontrayevous Robinson and QBWR for Taylor Martinez
          Predictions:

          Nebraska Football: 12-2 (Big Ten Runner-Up & Capitol One Bowl Champions)

          Kansas City Chiefs: 10-6 (1st in AFC West)

            Holt needs to be left in. He's gonna start in the Dime at our only LB.

            Read my post about how to implement the Peso. The extra linebackers will only help you in Dynasty mode.

              Okay, my rosters are posted (clydebruckman) for this roster with my Husker edits, and also all the depth charts are set correctly for the 2-deep (none of this DT in the FB depth chart business the game came with).

              I also did semi-in depth edits of alabama, arizona and arizona state, and worked a little on arkansas.

                Excellent info on the formation subs, thanks alot.


                As far as Dontrayveous, i simply changed his name to "Tray" in the game, since that's what most people on the team and in the media call him anyway.

                    I believe Sean Fisher is probably the dime LB. But this fall will tell us alot about where the LB depth is at.

                      Re: My Husker Ratings Edits

                      Wait, Spooky, you think Burkhead is a power back? What makes you think that? He's a scat back. Quick burst back. Hardly a downhill runner, power runner.

                      I'm a little scared to mess with speed/acceleration/agility ratings. I get the feeling it takes a bit of testing to see how they change with locomotion now. If I had to edit Burkhead, I'd give him high acceleration, high agility, and a decent speed. Maybe something like 84-88SPD, 92ACC, 92AGI.


                      WRs/TEs:
                      --->Set WR/TE Mike McNeill as starting TE and #4 WR, you'll have to formation sub him in for some sets at WR though. Also his last name was misspelled, so I added the 2nd "L"
                      First thing I did. Mike in the slot globally just wasn't right.

                        I don't think he's a power back like you think of John Clay or something, but of the two (Burkhead and Helu), Burkhead is more of the north/south runner, so I adjusted the ratings to show that.

                            I would encourage you to go back and rewatch games with Burkhead in it.

                            Not trying to be a dick, and maybe my ratings were a bit too drastic for him, but he is certainly not a guy who jumps around and runs like Helu. He can make people miss like any other RB, sure, but Burkhead finds a hole and goes for it, whether someone is in there or not. From what I've seen, he's much more interested in putting his head down and driving it into a defensive player than he is in jumping around and risking a few yards to try and get more.

                            Here is a video of some of his '09 highlights. Note how, yes he can make people miss, but he just finds holes and plows into people if they are there:

                              I'm a little scared to mess with speed/acceleration/agility ratings. I get the feeling it takes a bit of testing to see how they change with locomotion now. If I had to edit Burkhead, I'd give him high acceleration, high agility, and a decent speed. Maybe something like 84-88SPD, 92ACC, 92AGI.




                              First thing I did. Mike in the slot globally just wasn't right.
                              McNeill will be all over the field this year, both in the slot and with his hand down in TE sets. Also expect to see him in the backfield as an H-back.

                                Not trying to be a dick, and maybe my ratings were a bit too drastic for him, but he is certainly not a guy who jumps around and runs like Helu. He can make people miss like any other RB, sure, but Burkhead finds a hole and goes for it, whether someone is in there or not. From what I've seen, he's much more interested in putting his head down and driving it into a defensive player than he is in jumping around and risking a few yards to try and get more.

                                Here is a video of some of his '09 highlights. Note how, yes he can make people miss, but he just finds holes and plows into people if they are there:

                                I like Burkhead as you have him. He's a very North/South runner IRL, and he gets the job done this way in the game.
