I think # 3 is Marvin Robinson. Not positive but I think. Denard has 96 acc, That will make him run circles around people. Devin Gardner is going to be a beast. But one thing to keep in mind is that these ratings are not final. They should change before the game comes out next month.

  • Kenny Demens rated lower than a freshman (Kinard, no less)?
  • Interesting that Dorsey(?) is rated so low despite all the high guru approval.
  • Noticably absent is Big Stephen Hopkins.
  • DG speed at 90?  I was always under the impression he was quick and shifty but not real straight-line fast

EDIT: I think Banks is right on #3 being M-Rob, but I still think that KD should be rated higher.

Everything I've read says that DG is like a gazelle. Once he gets some open field, he won't get caught from behind. He'll be able to wiggle out of some tackles while in the pocket, but he's not going to weave in and out of traffic.

That probably means hes got great speed, good elusiveness and break tackle, less than ideal acceleration.

I think I read that acceleration was more important in being "fast" than speed was.  So Denard should still be crazy fast.

You have him listed with 96 acceleration, the same as Denard Robinson.  Given that Denard is considered (at least by M fans) to be one of the quickest guys in college football, does it surprise anyone that White is presumed to have the same quickness? 

I could be wrong but I imagine good acceleration translates into a good 40 time; is White anywhere close to Denard?

Vince Smith having essentially the same speed as Denard seems a little off, and not just because of the knee injury. From what I saw last year, Smith is more of a Mike Hart runner. Picks his lanes, cuts upfield nicely, but isn't known for his breakaway speed.

And yeah, Shaw being that low in speed is kind of silly.


Comedy request: Tim, can you check and see if Hawthorne on Illinois has a faster speed than Roundtree's 93?

Do we know what the team rating is? NCAA 10 UM was I think a B+ team (O= B-, D= A-, ST= B ???). I hope they would carry the same grade due to the power of the name brand but is that info out there?

Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

They scared me the most.  In reality, the entire back seven should and the DBs should be at the forefront of that concern, but these rosters really make the LBs seem like the biggest.  Who knows; could be a foreshadowing of things to come.

I'm assuming EA kept rosters at 70. I count 68 on this list, so we have little wiggle room to create freshmen, and add others.

Looks like Cam got left out. Teric Jones is No. 14 at safety.

I would love if Toussaint is that fast on gamedays.

I think it's also worth noting that EA has said they've revamped the rating system some, making sure there was more of a spread, with less clustering in the high 80s to low 90s. So the ratings in the low 80s and 70s that is causing some gnashing of teeth may have been significantly higher last year.

Of course, that still doesn't explain why they think Michael Cox is faster than Mike Shaw.

I think EA always caps QB speed around 92-93 because for whatever reason it is unrealistically easy to just run all over the field with a QB who is "too fast."  They did that with guys like Pat White and Vince Young, IIRC.  Maybe that is because it is so hard to simulate fatigue (even with stamina ratings and all that) or toughness but I think it's just the reality of video games (paradox - HA!).

I've always thought NCAA football rates the guys way too high, especially the young ones and they don't recognize how often players make position switches in college without going from a 78 to a 62.  Always thought that would make it more interesting in dynasty if some guys grew into different positions and it was your job to find the right one for them where they best fit and until you did that, the player would have stagnant growth (real life example: Stevie Brown).  Although it is true that alot of guys would be good no matter where you put them.

I like that this should make it more rewarding to land an instant impact 4* or 5* guy in recruiting.  Hopefully they adjusted their year to year progressions according to the new ratings.  It would be pretty lame to have Ricardo top out in the mid-high 70's when all indications point to him becoming an eventual #1 receiver.

Sadly they took them down.

 

92 Speed is pretty fast for QBs from the others I looked at. For example Pryor was 94 speed (ahem), but Jake Locker was 72 speed and Robert Griffin 84.

 

They bumped a lot of QBs speed down but Acc up except for a few really fast guys.

 

FWIW - I'm doing the UM roster for operations sports Xbox 360 community rosters if any is planning on DLin them.

 

Michigan still listed as a 4-3 defense. :(
