MSU Red Cedar Message Board

The real question I have is, are other teams having the same issues with inaccurate roster ratings? If it were just us and no one else I could see a problem, but if everyones rosters are a little off, it might be a bit more understandable.

this. or i do RTG. EA doesn't spend much time on the rosters because they know that other people will do a more accurate one that's easy to download and they don't pay a cent of it.

Doesn't matter at all its just kinda funny to see how we are perceived.

ND, FSU and Michigan are overrated as always. I'm used to that. Also think its hilarious how Wisconsin is a 99 overall.

Update

Gholston IS ON THE GAME!

Then Big Willie.........What a fucking joke.

This is pretty much old news. Team Builder has been out for a while and there's been a video of our entire roster out for about a month.

Personally, I always get rosters from someone that names them and edits them all, then I go through and make what I feel are proper adjustments for all the Big Ten teams (based on my own knowledge, last year's All-Big Ten teams, preseason all-big ten teams, etc, etc, etc). By the time I actually start my own dynasty, the Big Ten looks pretty accurate and I don't really worry too much about other conferences since I know a whole lot less about them. Sometimes I go through and adjust non-conference opponents (I always try to properly adjust ND, I'll double check Boise State this year. I'll probably look a little into USF since I know they're on the schedule for 2013 and accurate rosters going into this season will make it more realistic for year 2 of my dynasty), but that's about it. It makes the Big Ten as accurate as I can make it and that's what I care about most.

Also, something to consider here about Gholston that might explain an outsiders approach when rating him: Last year he had 6 games with 0 tfl's, 8 games where he had no sacks, and 9 games with 5 or fewer tackles. While WE all know what a beast he is and his Outback Bowl performance should have put him on the map, just on stats alone, he looks like a hit or miss player and NCAA has a hard time rating guys like that (He's not the only underrated player in the game). Luckily, we all know better and can adjust ratings before starting online or offline dynasties. If you couldn't re-rate players, this would be a much bigger deal.

Personally, I also feel a huge travesty is Bell's spin rating. Dude has one of the best spin moves in college football and uses it and ridiculous times.

Gotcha.

Know anyone with rosters out yet?

Most the time they take a few days, just figured with the team builder and such didn't know if there was a full rosters out early.

Playing this game now. They gave Will Gholston long dreadlocks a la Denard in the game. Clearly someone had a vendetta somewhere in there.

In the first week of my dynasty I saw that UM beat Alabama 45-14
