Honestly I am good with the rosters that just came out. They may be missing some people but the only bias it has is EA bias which I can live with.
I think I found the playbook that I wanna use with Arizona, but I wanna lab it a bit more with it tomorrow.
Guess I'll run the Air Raid. Had some decent success with it when I couple it with a run game. Just need to add some prices to it. Defense will be the key for us though.
I don't know what he bases his rating changes on, but last year I found his rosters to be excellent. I would personally recommend everyone check them out. He's particularly good at adding players that EA misses (like Jimmy Graham, the Miami TE that came from bball and ended up a 3rd round pick).Quote:

But hey thats your team so you probably know.Quote:

After playing with a few teams the current rosters from gamingtailgate look pretty good. I don't mind using them just thought I'd throw that out there.
go to scout and scroll down, it has an actual camp time, the other sites times are just numbers typed in at random.I also linked those 40 times to him. Even rivals calls his speed 'Blue Chip' later on so you have a 4.53 at rivals.com and a 4.34 at scout and a 4.47 at espn which avg. to a 4.4.Quote:

when you scroll down at scout.com,
either way when you look at other CBs from the class and see their speed/size ratio something is def. wrong with it imo, i think it has to do with EA going further and further away from accurate rosters do to the lawsuits, and letting the community fix them over time *after release* but its not worth talking about anymore in this thread :)Quote:

we had some plumbing in our business we own that is an hour away mess up... nothing we had to ditch out of pocket, but clean up, and being there so someone can work, its just made the past few days SUCK... but... today is my bday, and all is well for my wife at the salon, so her and the girls are back in full swing, and i fully expect to own the game before i lay my head down tonight...
anyways... cant wait to play it.. =\
"E"
I'm going to roll a game with Jeff's created team tonight against PSU. He only has the offense done, but I promised I'd do that a few days ago and have not yet. I will post some stats tonight after the game.
thats cool gridiron, glad the crisis is over!
That crisis is only beginning now Gridiron, my wife gave me the so our TV time is going to be nonexistent now huh? I said, more then likely sorry babe :)
After sleeping on it last night and messing with playbooks this morning. I am going to take everyone up on the thought of bringing Nebraska to the Big 10 a year early.
That opens up Iowa if anyone would rather switch to them.

That change for your guy would be huge though and rightfully so.
Haha your flip flopping all over the place man :DQuote:

Man the Big 10 will be tough week in and week out.
Then us bottom feeders (ASU anyway) have to compete with super power USC and G :D. Thats ok because we're handing out cars and 2 women per player for recruiting visits.
The Big 10 will be like last years OD in the SEC.Quote:

yea iw as more just trying to explain it using joyner as an example of how he will do it, his best rosters come out after like 7 games into the season and he adjusts according to how they actually play.Quote:

I think we should use my rosters that I'm editing off of steelerfan's, just because I did them. :P
It doesn't matter though. ;)
ill vote for urs if u fix joyner iron ;)
I'll vote for yours, too, if you add Charles Woodson and the NFL version of Tom Brady on Michigan's roster.
Joyner's speed was raised to 87, since by the time he progresses to a junior he'd be around 90 SPD and 99 ACC.Quote:
