I think 3 years is appropriate time frame for very prestigious programs like Michigan and ND to lose that 6*, Boise and TCU should not be 5* programs IMO. EA is way too generous in handing out these ratings, as well have made it too easy to gain prestige. Prestige shouldn't be a "What've you done lately" thing. It should go far back. I know TCU was quite a power in the 30's and 50's still not 5* worthy based on their mediocrity after that and Boise has only been FBS/D-1A since 2001 and only really known nationally since the 2006/07 Fiesta Bowl, they shouldn't be within reach of 5*'s. It should take minimum 2 years of success to go up a prestige star.

TCU 4*
Boise State Upper 3*/Bottom 4*

I agree the process should be longer and more difficult...it should be a long term accomplishment to get that sixth star not a one year turnaround.

Come on slick.....it's not that people have a problem no matter what. Be realistic man, not every school has a B+ defense. There are good schools, take Arkansas recently, who really had pretty medicocre defenses (C,C+, or B- tops) that are still good teams. I don't like how EA inflates everything year in and year out.

Online Dynasty will be the same this year as last....in the fourth season every user team will have a stable of 99s and then there will be a dropoff for everybody in year 5

Typical

To be blunt: this is lame as hell
