Maybe because Bama is my favorite team, as well as the university that I attend.
Seriously, I understand that Alabama is misrated (I won't say overrated because I feel like certain players are ranked higher than players that are better in real life) but if your school or favorite team was rated 99OVR would you just be like "Eh...I don't want to bother playing with them." I'm sorry, but there is clearly some strong "Anti-Bama" people on this forum regardless of their ratings.
DISCLAIMER: I disagree with the 99OVR ratings, but from the ratings that I did get to glance at for individual players I can't say I disagree with them much.
Of course I would expect Bama fans to use them. To answer your question, I would be opposed to my tream being grossly overrated. Believe it or not, I love starting a dynasty and recruiting to my teams weaknesses and replacing my studs with potential future studs. Harris a 95OVR? Robby Green a 94? Dre Kirkpatrick a 95? Luther Davis a 95? True Freshmen with 88OVR. I am not "hating" on Bama by any means but this is absolutely the most inflated roster I have seen EA make. I am definitely not "Anti-Bama".
my problem is that in the demo they advertise this as the most innovative and deepest team creator ever. What a load of bull. They should have just advertised it with updated uniforms/stadiums/rosters for real teams and a text box... oh and a blue background since those are the only real differences. No new stadiums, can't choose your rivals, can't choose your cleat/team brand (nike/UA/Adidas), can't give anything other than black or white short socks (no colors, no pro style). Huge letdown.
You said it JerseySuave!I love to be positive, but what a letdown! I’m pleased with the text box for the front of the jerseys, but no Dome stadium option, no pride stickers, no third logo slot, no text box on the back of pants(U Miami), no team colored shoes, no picking my own rival??? Big time
disappointment.
PM me any suggestions or cooments you have.
I did not make too many roster changes or massive improvements. Eric Gordon has been improved, Edwin Baker made a jump as well. I made Larry Caper a better running back than Michael Shaw as well, because he is. Keith Nichol was added as well, and I also added a few freshman who I think will make an impact.
Can't access my computer until Saturday, but from what I've seen, I'm not in any hurry.
A huge letdown, EA. Quit talking up this as an updated version and call it what it really is.
If I want to see new uniforms, stadiums, and mascots, I'll just play the game with the actual teams. But all these wishlists and suggestions on the EA forums are useless. Don't talk like it's wonderful to have Pro Combats in TeamBuilder, give us a Pro Combat uniform template. Give us blank uniform company logos we can set colors to, because obviously you have the permission and resources to do so. Two logo slots won't cut it if you're trying to make an "in-depth and innovative" team. Who's really gonna use other schools' mascots, most of which have signage or the actual uni of their school. Where are more generic stadiums? Uniform templates? Alt uni freedom? More numbers, more helmets, and even pride stickers, an NCAA 2004 feature of Create-a-School?
You have let me down, EA. We would like answers, please.
unfortunately.....i agree with you.
hell....all I wanted was 1 more pair of pants and 1 more alt jersey.....didn't even get that.
Anybody find it odd that when the site was accidentally released that we had 2 EA devs on here but now that TB has been officially released that they are not talking on this thread at all?
Why isn't the textbox working? I typed in a name and it wont show up? I made sure to change the color to orange since it's on a black jersey...I saved the school, and tried to preview it, but it still dosen't show my text....What's the deal???

Haha, those are actually the three that I disagree with most. But on the other hand, I think Trent Richardson should be more of a 95-96 area and Dont'a Hightower should be more in the 96-97 range which is why I used the term misrated.
And as far as the true freshmen ratings, I agree with you but it's not like every true freshman has that high of a rating. Only the highly touted ones and as we saw with Trent Richardson and a plethora of other people, it's completely possible for true freshmen to be an 88.
And as far as this being the most inflated roster ever...have you seen Florida's or Oklahoma's from last year?
I hope EA clears out all the download numbers from last years game. I would like to see new teams up at the top as opposed to the same ones up there last year.
