I like your high ratings for the freshman but I think they are a little too high. I love USF but I realize that we are a building program, I don't think there should be any true freshman rated higher than established players.

By the way, did you use any sources when you were creating these players or did you just go by a "typical" freshman format. To be honest, I don't know much about the incoming freshman class.

I think I will start compiling a list of suggested changes, but I see no need to implement them until (at leat) we have an official depth chart to work off of. Even if that means waiting until after 9/2 (the first game against McNeese St.)

Are you planning on making a comprehensive "opening day" file? If so, I wouldn't feel too pressured to get it out by opening day but rather try and get every teams opening day depth chart integrated, which will probably take a lot of time.

Thanks again for all of your hard work.
I tend to use Scouts and rivals for the sources but sometimes the team site is the best i can get.

As for the file- I basically am doing it until i am happy with it whether that is a week from now or 3 months. After that point i would have no problem if someone wanted to continue it as their own.

I played a season with missouri since the dyansty file i made on the 13th ,and felt alot of changes were still needed, and are still needed. Freshmen and redshirted freshmen i think are the two areas over and underrated the most on the game. I also want to have at least the major teams have 65+ players to start. Also, i would like to have the right players on the right teams.

Here is an example of what bothered me on Missouri (its not my favorite team). After year 1. Most the OL goes which is fine but accordingly to alot of sites Mizz has one of the top ten OLs and that is because of depth. Well the OL is starting like three 70's because of underrated backup OL but i have like 3-4 80+ RB and the soph FB is a 85.

In truth, i could edit forever but my goal is to enter the information i get. Try to get the right players on the right team, upgrade the good rFr and drop some Freshmen.

There is a guy wroking on some teams right now for me. I am anxious to see the corrections he makes. We really would have stellar rosters if most of us could do it that way.
