NCAA '10 PSU Player Ratings

Got this via email:

 

Tried to put it in a fanpost but couldn't even preview it, so I fail at that.

In NCAA Football 10, "Create A School" is the new hotness.  EA Sports has an active site where you can create your own team just like you would in NCAA Football 10.  http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/ncaafootball/create_a_school

While creating your team, you can import your players from an existing roster from any Div 1-A team. Using that, you can get a glimpse of how they've set the player ratings for each team in the game.  Below are the starters for Penn State, as well as their overall ratings.

On offense:

-- Darryl Clark is rated 94 overall.  Backing him up is Kevin Newsome, with a very nice 84 rating for a freshman.

-- Evan Royster and Stephfon Green are your top RBs, rated 93 and 88; no surprise there. Curtis Dukes shows up at the bottom of the RB depth chart with an 81 overall rating.

-- Only one fullback makes the roster:  Larry Federoff, with an 81 overall rating.

-- The starting wide receivers:

WR #5, Graham Zug, 87

WR #83, Brett Brackett, 86

WR #27, Chaz Powell, 86 (Powell wears #2 in real life)

-- The tight ends:

TE #82, Mickey Shuler, 86

TE #10, Andrew Quarless, 83 (Quarless is a sophomore in the game, and a senior in real life)

-- The starting offensive line:

LT #75, DeOn'Tae Pannell, 86 (Pannell wears #50 in real life)

LG #64, Johnnie Troutman, 93 (Troutman wears #74 in real life)

C #67, Quinn Barham, 87 (Barham is a senior in the game, and a sophomore in real life)

RG #61, Stefen Wisniewski, 91

RT #73, Dennis Landolt, 85


On defense:

-- The starting defensive line:

LE #44, Kevion Latham, 80

DT #91, Jared Odrick, 90

DT #85, Ollie Ogbu, 89

RE #5, Jerome Hayes, 89

-- The starting linebackers:

LOLB #18, Navorro Bowman, 93

MLB #45, Sean Lee, 95

ROLB #34, Nate Stupar, 86

-- The starting secondary:

CB #1,  AJ Wallace, 91

FS #28, Drew Astorino, 86

SS #4, Knowledge Timmons, 84

CB #19, D'Anton Lynn, 85 (Lynn wears #8 in real life)

stupar instead of mauti? I’m still interested to see who will win that coveted 3rd spot on the field. all signs point to Mauti at this point, b/c I’ve read one of our coaches (maybe Joe?) said Stupar’s still a little unrefined at LB despite being an absolute monster on Spec. teams.

I like Mauti and I know he’ll do real well, but Stupar’s my guy.

Thank god they’ll both get playing time! Linebacker U kicks so much ass, don’t it?

I am still scared

that Hull will somehow start and see serious playing time at this spot, which is quite true to past practice.

And starting the first of

18 or so meat chicken three and outs upon subbing in and turning that game back to its rightful position.

I also dig that he’s from Louisiana, for some reason, even tho his dad is a Penn Stater (a PSU all-american lacrosse player as well) transplant to there.

I also really love win-win debates.

For me...

It comes down to which had the better hit against Wisconsin. Mauti’s hit was awesome, but Stupar totally set the momentum of that game when, on the opening kickoff, he charged down the field and threw Gilreath around like a rag doll at the 14. Pure awesome.

I say we run a 3-4

At BHGP they use “EPIC GREENWOOD” (a much maligned safety), instead of EPIC FAIL, so I say we use EPIC QUARLESS. It’s the opposite of EPIC CLARK FIST PUMP.

Updated Rosters

are numerous on Operation Sports after the game has been out for a few weeks. Most of the guys fixed the roster boo-boos that occurred during the year. Also, they generally release late-season rosters which is nice for the off-season.

by deihlba on Jun 5, 2009 7:27 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I've always felt that EA should include a feature with each new year

where they have updated rosters (and maybe even rankings) for the previous year based on how the players actually performed, and a mode where you could play the previous season with the “actual” player ratings. I know it is kinda pointless now with the availability of these rosters online and such, but I wanted this feature since before you could play these games online, and still think it would be good, and relatively easy to do.

I remember always being mad that I was never playing with an “accurate” team.

These are the ratings I'd give:

Clark 94
Royster 95/Green 87/Beachum 79
Suhey 77/Thompson 73/Federoff 71
Moye 84/Zug 88/Powell 89/Brackett 86/Price 81/Brown 80
Quarless 88/Shuler 87
Pannell 86
Walton/Troutman/whoever 84
Wisniewski 97
Whoever 85
Landolt 93

Crawford 88/Hayes 85/Latham 82/Lattimore 80
Odrick 97/Ogbu 88/Koroma 85/Still 84/Ware 83
Bowman 98/Lee 97/Mauti 89/Hull 86/Stupar 85/Gbadyu 84
Wallce 87/Lynn 86/Timmons 80
Astorino 87/Hodges 88/Jefferies 77/Dailey 79

Zug is a 99 and you know it

Also, Quarless higher than Shuler? Really?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE, DANNY?

by ReadingRambler on Jun 5, 2009 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'll give him a 96 or so in catching

but sub-par marks in speed an acceleration.

And unless character is a rating, AQ has all the potential in the world. Guy really is an athletic freak. Shuler is a mauler, but doesn’t have the same talent.

by PSUdevon on Jun 5, 2009 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's simple

Quarless gets like a 75 in awareness, an 85 in catching, 75-80 in blocking. Shuler gets higher overall marks.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE, DANNY?

to figure out AQ was Andrew Quarless. I’m still in 2008 mode, I was wondering why you were including AQ Shipley in this discussion.

I’m really tired…
