Second, being realistic, how likely would we be to see a 7 OVR player, or a 15 OVR? I don't think anyone would actually be willing to rate someone that low, so the artificial floor is probably semi-realistic.

I believe actual ratings can go from 0-100 now, I know I see recruits come in with 15 in TAK or whatever from time to time. OVR is just a number anyway.
you're never gonna get a player rated 7 overall. the absolute lowest you can go is 40 overall. as far as seeing tackling ratings of 15, those are probably for offensive players, kickers and punters.

as far as spreading out the ratings, here is what i meant. on ncaa 10 (default rosters), terrance cody had a power move rating of 89 and a finesse move rating of 79! on madden 11, his power move rating jumped to 98 while his finesse move rating dropped to 30. this sort of thing happens all the time- where players are too well rounded in all ratings they need to have (defensive players need defensive ratings and vice versa). when i say spreading out the ratings, this is the kind of example that i refer to. there's really no separation between elite and average.

i look at madden and the game plays a lot better- as far as seeing the difference between the elite, good, average, and players who suck. this isnt reflected very well at all in ncaa....and i guess, that this is something that i'd like ncaa to adopt.
