I know. He wasn't close to overtaking Howard 80 ovr, Clarke 77 or Allen (not in the game) before his injury, and I didn't like his chances of battling Brown or Roby either.
In real life, he was - at best - their 4th corner (after losing both starters), and that's not counting Christian Bryant (the backup star/nickelback)... yet he's almost a 90 ovr.
They definitely have a roster guy or two. Whether their occasional mistakes are intentional to avoid lawsuits or just oversight is a matter of debate. But most of the players are dead ringers for the real life players.
