NCAA Football 11 Video: "Preliminary" Dynasty Team Ratings

[AMERICAN_DREAM]

Iowa's ratings should be reversed. the D is always better than the offense. we use our defense to play field position and our offense just scores enough to get by. our d is dominant


also whats with wisconsin being sooo high?

Yeah, I don't get that, either. Wisc's recruiting class was in the mid-80's this past season, I don't understand why they are rated so highly.

For example, most people will use the term "They" when referring to a negative aspect. "They couldn't get the offense going today." I realize you were being facetious but I couldn't help myself

You sir, along with a few other posters in this thread have quickly become some of my favorite posters on the board.

O and, Boomer Sooner!

Bama's Defense shouldnt be ranked 99 considering we lost alot of starters on D but I do believe we should be low 90's reason are: alot of the starters for this up coming season has had significant playing time starting with the LB's we got Hightower he started his freshmen season but was hurt last year, Nico Johnson he came in for Hightower and got a good deal of PT, Upshaw he again had plenty of PT, Jerrell Harris has potential but i do agree with people about how he shouldnt be a 95. Ok now Dline we got Dareus, Chapman, L. Davis and they all played in this past season. Ok DB's this is the question mark but we have 3 5star recruits so will they pan out or be a bust who knows they obvisously have tons of potential. Safetys we have Barron one of if not top Safety in SEC and the other safety is kinda up in the air right now. So for the bama guy saying our D should be 87 is not even fair. I believe they should be b/w 91-93.

LOL at Ohio State with a 96 rating on offense.

Up until the rose bowl, Ohio State had like 4 games with under 300 yards of total offense. Against Purdue last year, if I'm not mistaken, they were held under 200 yards of offense.

Penn State also isn't anywhere near a 94 on offense. Kevin Newsome actually makes Terrelle Pryor look like Peyton Manning when he throws the ball.

I wonder where they come up with these ratings.

I think even with Clark last year we shouldn't be a 94. I am not saying we should be much lower but maybe a 90-91 this year.

Think about it: if it were based on how good a team is right now, Notre Dame and Michigan wouldn't be 6 star programs, but the stars are based off of the entire school's history.

The problem with the school's history argument is that if I went 3-9 with either of the 2 teams you mentioned (and they have within the past couple years) I would lose a star in the game. So either you need to apply the dynasty rules for prestige to real life results or fix the prestige rating in the game so it's harder to gain/lose prestige.
