I think Tajh Brooks at Texas Tech is probably a top five HB.

I hope they don't make everybody highly rated though. I want the greats to stick out.

My main thing is that they do a good job of balancing OVRs. I don't want to see too many 90+ OVR players in general. I didn't like seeing the blue blood schools in the past filled with 90+ OVR players.

What would your overall rating scale be for your guys that are listed?

I agree. There should be room for improvement or regression. At the very least, implement a window for 5-10 players within the 90+ range.

That and balancing out progression. One of the things I didn't like about NCAA 14 was how crazy players progressed. If the school had a coach with a skill for developing players, players would progress crazy fast. Once you got a few years in, powerhouses like Bama or Georgia would have rosters full of 90+ OVR players. I remember playing against a defensive secondary full of 95+ speed.

Plus honestly, I don't think this crop of players deserves to be very highly related. It would have been something if it was this past crop of players where you had a overall great crop of QB and skill players. I think most of the players should range from 70-93 OVR. Only the elite players should be ranked over 90.

70-93 Is too generous

The rating scale needs to spread out more 40-90

70 still represents a quality starter on most teams.

Spread the range out so you can clearly tell on the field the difference in player skill sets and that has been proven in both madden and ncaa over the years that a 70 rated player can pretty much do things 90 rated player can do in EA'S football games.

Trust me the gameplay is more organic the lower you can keep the players rated overall
