Anyone else feel EA got their team's profile wrong?

[imthedan]

I was reading over the PDF file that goes over CCM (http://vassets.ea.com/Assets/Resourc...eersManual.pdf) and towards the end they go over every team's profile.

I went down to the Raiders and I feel they have it wrong. They have us listed as a Vertical Offense and a Base 4-3. I agree that this is what we ran last year, but we've changed this season.

We're now running a West Coast Offense/Zone Run (similar to what the Texan's ran last year). The whole vertical passing thing is done for us now. The same for our defense. EA describes the base 4-3 as LBs who are more meant to cover. We're more of a blitzing team now, so I feel we should be an attacking 4-3.

The reason I ask these things is because if I decide that I want to change these things day 1 to a WCO/ZR and Attacking 4-3, will that negatively affect my players? It's funny because our defense is excelling in the new defense, but the offense isn't looking so hot.

Anyway, I was just wondering if others have experienced the same? It feels like EA just ran with the ESPN-esque comments about Raiders only wanting speed and wanting to the throw the long ball every play instead of doing some research.

It seems to be heavily based on past generalizations in at least a few cases. The Titans read like a power run team but that was Fisher's influence and is no longer the case at all. They'll probably go 4-5 wide more than I-Form this year.

I'm not positive on what the importance rating actually means but if it means getting another blocking FB is of 3star importance for the Jets, my response is no. John Conner is an unbreakable monster two of him is not needed

upset they said the eagles have a weakness at center and are not a strong oline which is untrue

I think the importance thing is just saying what type of players are important in that scheme. For the Vertical Raiders, the speed WR is obviously important.

I'm just wondering because when I start my Raiders franchise I am going to switch them over to a ZBS or WCO (they really play both, but I'll decide which I prefer) and I don't want all of my players dropping by 10 overall because of it.

The Colts have absolutely no #2 CB. Jerraud Powers is an average starter, but unless Justin King or Cassius Vaughn is suprisingly highly rated(which they won't be, EA hates the Colts and disrespects us a lot.) we need a CB who can immediately take the #2 job or push Powers to the #2 spot. That is our #1 need, and they don't even mention it.

Our O-Line is a weakness. We have the receiving corp and the backfield. Almost the entire line could use an upgrade, except maybe at LG and C. Though I can understand the weakness at C part, as Kelce is only in his third year.
