Re: Do ratings matter in this game

Ok, I had to respond to this thread..
Who are the 99 rated players you're referring to? I mean in real life.
Do those things ever happen to the real players?.. of course they do.
Believe it or not, Hershel Walker got tackled 90% of the time by the first guy that hit him. It's the remaining 10 per cent that we remember.
A 99 merely means that player is the highest rated player in that category. It doesn't mean he's Superman.
And there's really not that much difference between a 99 and a 60. A 60 can hold his own most of the time.
Just like teams, if Alabama is a 99, and Georgia State is a 60. Believe it or not, GSU will play Bama even about 90 per cent of the plays. Even in a 70-0 rout, the vast majority of grades on the field will be even for most of the game. Let's say there are 11 grades per play, 140 plays per game..that's 1540 grades. In a 70-0 blowout, about 1500 of those grades will be even.
