Thanks alot for the ratings pics Steve! Some of these ratings are very confusing and down right discouraging IMO. How on earth can a team like Ole Miss who went 3-9 last year and 0-8 in SEC play (didn't win a single SEC game!) be an 84OVR 86OFF 87DEF. As a matter of fact they are rated higher than about 13 teams in the Top 25. What is this based on? Yet Kansas, a team that went 12-1, returns 16 starters and won the Orange Bowl comes in at a 77OVR . I venture to say these may not be final but they are quite puzzling.

Great Work as usual Steve.

Yes I'm SOOOO pumped to be playing another year in generic stadiums maybe we can be so lucky as to play the Alamo and International bowls outdoors again.

I know we already knew that there was still generic stadiums in the game but I was was really hoping we would be proven wrong and I highly doubt they'll be adding stadiums before July.

It's Classic EA. The ratings never make sense.

--Alabama is rated as good or higher than Auburn for the upteenth year in a row, even though Auburn has one of the winningest programs over the last 5 years and Bammer is hovering around .500 and coming off another stellar 6-6 season with a loss to a Sun Belt team.

--Florida who was about as stiff on defense as wet tissue paper gets an insane 94 rating on defense..making them into a virtual steel curtain in the game.

--Florida State sloshes through yet another .500 ish season and gets their annual EA hand job with a 94 overall, 99 on defense (99?! Are kidding me EA?) including a 92 on offense...an offense that was one of the worst in the nation this year.

--Ohio State gets trounced for the second consecutive year in the MNC game...and doesn't miss a beat with All 99s!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I could list 10000 other ones, but you get the drift. It's been like this for years.

That being said..at least now recruiting and custom rosters can come into play in Dynasties as opposed to being strapped with these for Online Leagues.

As ridiculous as these team ratings are...I don't even want to see the individual player ratings. we'll probably be pulling our teeth out. Its ridiculous to see so many teams rated this high. Two Teams at 99OVR I call b*ll on that one.

For all the flak EA has been getting recently, I think a lot of us appreciate them sending out a beta this early to OS, even if we do rip it apart. It seems as if they are making a statement to us here that they are listening.

I can't remember the last time OS had an NCAA beta, might have been 2002, I remember when Steve posted pics and videos from that game and it was the best coverage on the net.
and Ohio State

Oh the game is going to R-O-C-K.

But I'm definitely gonna call them out on some of the hilarious ratings we are seeing in the Beta shots.

Ohio State 99 across the board? Perfect across the board? Florida at a 94 on defense? Tebow set records all over the place last year on offense and they lost 4 games.

The ultimate though is Florida State. It's especially funny because they have them rated a 94 overall, with a perfect score on offense and a stellar 92 on offense...but they have them UNRANKED. Priceless.

Eh....we're fanatics. That's why we live to complain about SOMETHING.

Yes...that FSU offense it sure has been tearing it up all 92 like over the past several years. Miami rated 86 overall, Gators D in the stratosphere after not existing last year, even UCF and USF being rated in the upper 70's. I can see that the Tiburon Florida bias is alive and well! Gotta love it!

Florida State had one of the worse offenses in America last year but gets a 92 overall. But seeing an Ole Miss team that had the worst season in SEC play in the last 13 years come in at an 84OVR and be better than my razorbacks makes me want to puke. Maybe EA knows something about these teams that we don't.... but I doubt it. Auburn should have the best defense in the SEC on this game but the Gators got it. Not trying to sound like a hater but I would just like to see EA do there research and get this right.
