Just some random notes on Nebraska

Re: Just some random notes on Nebraska

just to throw this one out there Taylor Martinez was a rFr when he started last year so sorry to say it but his red-shirt was used up 2 years ago when he came on campus and QB #7 is Cody Spano not Jamal Turner.. Turner isn't on the default rosters. and my personal Nebraska roster tweak will have increased ratings for Alfonso Dennard.

Umm, I'm not sure what info you have, but Taylor Martinez is a true Sophomore. He was a true Freshman last year.

#7 is in fact Jamal Turner. Kody Spano is A) Not black, B) Not a true Freshman and C) Not anywhere near 6'1" 175.

And good for Fonzy, he should be the second highest rated player on the team.

No... Martinez was definitely red shirting in '09, he was scout team MVP, he is actually older then Cody Green.

ah sorry haven't seen the player model yet i just knew that they had Kody Spano as QB #7 on NCAA 11 thats my mistake.. but Martinez red-shirted in 2009. i just skimmed the default roster so i didn't catch the height and weight i just remembered Kody Spano was #7

Re: Just some random notes on Nebraska

I think its funny that they have T-Magic as 82 speed yet unproven Jamal Turner at 87 speed... And I hope to god Bubba ends up at NU, he seems humble enough to play receiver if T-Magic turns out to have actually improved from last year.

If Starling ends up at NU I think we could be looking at Turner and Starling as #2 and #3 receivers or even Starling as #1 or #2 QB. Turner is just too good at WR/PR/KR to let him do anything else.

EDIT: No way QB #7 is Kody Spano, QB #7 is an exact clone of Turner, Spano was not a 87 speed scrambling QB, nor would he have been a freshman.

I know, I don't get where they come up with the speed ratings. Taylor is maybe 82 with the injury, but who knows what Turner will do. And it seems like Brion Carnes has been clocked as fast as Taylor too. I can understand not wanting to make them some beast, but at least flip the speed ratings.

I agree with you though, if I had to make a roster now, I would have Turner at WR/KR/PR, especially given the weak WR corps on the roster. Starling too if he ends up coming, hopefully that decision is made before I start a serious OD.

Oh right, I forgot the scout team season.

Speaking of Cody Green, would have loved to see him switch to WR/TE in real life rather than leave the program.

Re: Just some random notes on Nebraska

Turner played QB for what, a week? He spent minimal time at QB in the spring. I doubt #7 is him. It's probably just a random ratings set for Kody. It's not like they put thorough effort in these rosters.

EDIT: Not to mention, Spano never played a down of Nebraska football. I can't even remember him getting reps in the Red-White games.

I probably won't start any serious OD's for a while, but I wish EA did a better job with incoming freshman, we have probably one of the best offensive classes, two 4* QB/WRs, a 5* RB and two underrated RBs (Braylon Heard, Ameer Abdullah).

T-Magic should be at least 92+ speed, it would bump him pretty good ovr without actually making him an elite QB. Also, while I don't really agree with alot of the ratings for our secondary, holy high hell our CBs will know how to play man coverage, Alfonzo is like a 94 in man coverage, that's lock down level.

I mean the color, year, height, weight, playing style, hometown are an exact match for Jamal and he even has receiver ratings are in line with what a freshman WR would be. Why he would be at QB, I do not know.

Texas A&M had this issue with Tannehill last year too, he was at least their second WR in real life but was second string QB in game, an he had pretty meh WR stats, luckily it turns out he did end up playing most of the year at QB.

Fonzy with 90 play recognition, 96 man, 94 zone, 88 press will basically be shut down. Ciante isn't too bad himself and his 86 tackle rating will be nice in run support.

I agree though, I know it is a crap shoot doing ratings for incoming freshmen but sometimes they completely swing and miss. Luckily there are a few editable players like Green and Tray Robinson who are gone and can be edited to one of the new guys.

Maybe it is him. I can't see all his info, I'm on the teambuilder site(don't have the game). Dijon Washington has #10, and you can't have duplicate numbers.

I just hate going into a dynasty with a bunch of non-contributors on the roster, I'd be okay if it was a 84 man roster, but 70 men with +10 being non-contributing 3rd/4th years is frustrating, just makes for **** recruiting the first two years, where you have to go for a 3 star to fill depth and being forced to pass up a 5/4 star guys cause you don't want walk on as your 3rd string RB or something like that.

Re: Just some random notes on Nebraska

Heres a question, I'm just curious because I won't be picking the game up until tomorrow morning but have any of you played against Nebraska at all, I'm just curious because in the game play video that was posted awhile back that had Nebraska vs. Penn State, Nebraska was running that stupid hurry up no huddle crap that every spread team on this game runs. I'm just curious to see if it was fixed because most of the spread teams on 11 that ran no huddle (that would be all of them) never ran no huddle IRL

Re: Just some random notes on Nebraska

I kind of wish EA would use the Scouts Inc ratings (toned down a bit), because the discrepancy between 5* and 2* is only like <15 points, which allows for 2*s to actually become contributors with some lucky progressions, and 5* to languish on the depth chart if they get ****ty progressions.

Yeah, recruiting can be a little off at times, although with roster editing, you could possibly fix it a little.
