EA has historically been pretty bad at aggregating player ratings (or, at the very least, the aggregated rating isn't a simple average).  But I think part of the reason for this is that a team's aggregate strength isn't necessarily just the average of their offense and defense.  For instance, EA might rate Michigan's offense as better than 94/100 of the other offenses in the NCAA and their defense better than 91/100 of the defenses.  But since it's hard to have both a good offense and a good defense, this might make their team better than 97/100 of the teams in the NCAA.

Obviously some other factors go into these numbers, but I think this is the general idea.

First, NCAA 12 was an excellent game that incorporated a lot of new features like Coaching Carousel and Conference Changes. The issue was the gameplay which after reading reviews of the demo sounds like the gameplay is improved, if not amazing.

Second, don't buy the game on release. Wait two weeks for truly dedicated individuals to re-do their rosters and adjust likenessess (Denard w/dreads), ratings, names, etc. and also for a decent slider set to emerge.

EDIT: I realize "excellent" may be a bit of a leap. It wasn't excellent, but it was good outside of the super-jumping LBs and psychic DBs, and the problems running screens, options, or play action. Okay, fine, the gameplay was bad. But, COACHING CAROUSEL. CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT. I loved that ish.

My biggest issue w/this game is the amount of time they force you to spend on recruiting.  In the old ones, you would just put recruiting points on players.  Now you have to work on each player individually and each one take a few each week and it's way too much of a time committment/

According to player ratings, MSU's best player is the kicker, and William Gholston isn't even in the top 10. I really hope these are still a work in progress
