NCAA Football 12 Team Ratings and Prestige Revealed (Tradition Sports Online)

[The JareBear]

SO it should take 20 years of mediocrity before a team finally loses a sixth star in this game?

[poopoop]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but does anyone else think it's weird that way more teams have a higher off grade than def, vs the other way around.

Just skimming through the list real quick (I may have missed a team or two) I only saw: Bama, LSU, UConn, Virginia, Purdue, Marshall, Mid Tenn State, Idaho, UTEP,UAB. That's 10 teams. Meanwhile 10 of the top 12 teams have better offenses than defenses.

I first noticed this last year looks like it's the same again.

Also just let people edit school prestige (and all the school's recruiting grades) so we can skip past these arguments about who is a 4 vs 5 star.

Yeah, that definitely would be a nice feature not sure if they allow this currently do they?

I think the problem with the arguments trying to use real life history and to fuel the logic behind the ratings. In the game, if Florida goes 6-6, they drop a star no matter what. Same for Texas, same for anybody. Going off EA's rules for dropping or gaining a star in the offseason of a dynasty it makes sense that Dame dropped one. That is all I am saying.

Why Texas didn't drop one as well, I have no idea.

Yep. That's like I was saying. The game bases it strictly off winning games and no history.

Curious to how VT is an A- when they have no ratings above a B+ in terms of offense, defense, and special teams.

How is their special teams a B- anyways? We have two of the best return me in the whole country on there...whatever.

By comparison, Kansas St in the BCS era has a score of 106. So yah you could definitely say they have a terrible way of grading this in the game. Maybe if I did just the last 3 years it would be different. But I don't think there is any formula they use. If they did Notre Dame wouldn't have stayed a 6 star so long if they were only using the last 3-4 years, and many other teams wouldn't be where they are. We have always said that the developers did lack real knowledge of college football in the past, and I think their prestige is just someones opinion with very minimal research.

Schum I agree that the system is flawed. But it is their system and going off of it some of the rating changes make sense (Notre Dame) and some don't.
