I'm going to update Navy and Army soon.

I know there probably aren't many fans of those types of school but Navy is going to be a real sleeper in this game offensively.

The most popular name of course is Staubach and he'll be able to carry their offense on his shoulders but McCallum will be a Frank Gore clone who can grind out yards in their Flex Offense. McConkey is nice possesion guy at WR who I created in the mode of Drew Bennett.

There backup QB Alton Grizzard who may only be remembered by navy fans is going to be one the very best Option QB's in the game with a DNA similiar to Matt Jones.

Just wanted to point out a couple of things that edited ratings will help towards in game play

1) Pursuit angles by increasing the overall awareness and pusuit ratings of the defenders it'll make things a little better overall on the field.

2). Decreasing the catch ratings of the defenders which i have done accross the boards will allow for less INT's even on poorly thrown passes by the QB's which you'll see much more of during game play because of the accuracy ratings being reduced in order to accomplish that task.

3). Smarter RB's who will see open lanes much better because of the increased BALL CARRIER VISION RATINGS. Combined with increased RBA slider a guy like Emmitt Smith is going to see the running the lanes much better than the DEFAULT RB's ever did in this game.

4). OL vs DL interaction looks more realistic because I boosted up either the POWER MOVE or FINESSE MOVE ratings of many DE's/DT's based on if they were a power player like John Henderson or a speed rusher like Terrell Suggs. There will also be some guys who are great at both like Reggie White or LeRoy Selmon who you'll see from down to down constantly using either a power move or spin move to get away from OL during passing downs.

These are by far some of the most IMPORTANT RATINGS in the game in which I feel are poorly implemented by EA with their regular rosters whiich is sad because those ratings don't even effect the overall ratings of any player. They just bnring the game to life more on the field when edited right.

Those are ratings which allow Madden players to be assigned a SPECIFIC WEAPON. NCAA doesn't assign weapons but the ratings still function the same as Madden when you increase them in certain areas.

You got Hines Ward as a WR for Georgia but He was a QB.

I have several players at their Pro posistion because it allows them to get on the field more. But if you observe the rosters I have their secondary posistion listed right next to their names.

I assigned ratings for for Ward as a QB when creating him aswell. You can move him to QB before you start a Dynasty and his ratings won't take a hit but if you play him at QB without making it his primary posistion then he'll get reduced down.

Basically these rosters are too deep to put every player in their college posistion because they won't ever get on the field in some cases like Arnaz Battle.....Notre Dame has too many better options at QB so I have him at WR his pro posistion like Ward with the option to move him to QB.

One thing you guys are going to love about the PAC 10 is the big hitters that I have created at the safety posistions. Most of these guys Ronnie Lott, David Fulcher, Darren Woodson, John Lynch, Kenny Easley, Tim McDonald, Lawyer Milloy and Chuck Cecil all have very high tackle ratings combined with 90+ Awareness and Play Recongnition skills.

That makes them read plays very quickly and react much faster to things happening on the field.

One of my favorites is Cecil, I didn't give him great speed or agility but the guy has 98 hit power, 92 tackling and 99 pusuit to make up for his lack of speed and quickness. The Arizona base defense (3-3-5) is designed to walk him up to the box so he can make plays like an extra LB next to Hunley, Singleton and Evans.

I use the Tackle Slider for the CPU at 80 giving them an extra boost up to their ratings and these guys very rarely miss a tackle or take a bad puruit angle in the game.
