LOL!! Surely Akron has it in them...

Still not pumped about this. Because they don't make the ATH positions logical based on size. A 6'2 220 pound ATH could reasonably be a QB, RB, FB, LB or SS. ATH always play either WR/CB or WR/RB or CB/FS/SS. Where are the TE/LB, RB/SS OL/DL ATH?

Hell even in real life you get guys who were HS QB and wind up playing DB or LB on college. Does EA not read a single recruiting magazine or website?

I'm not sure what game you've been playing. Most ratings matter in NCAA '12.

Did they water down the ATH pool in '12? I know in '11 I had success finding many guys that could fit in as OL/DL, WR/CB, HB/S/QB, FB/TE/LB etc.

I ask this because part of my massive rating edits were giving Pursuit pts to offensive players, and this was a way I used to work around with recruits as my dynasty went on.

It sounds like you're talking about ATHs in past EA games and that you don't understand what they've done with ATHs in '13.
