Nice writeup again Dave

[QuietStorm]

Great work Dave!!!

[Realist]

mob and I finally played.....i won 45-31

I would love to see stats and this same game played on Normal.

[Rohtang]

Realist to be honest. After a while. U can't tell the difference anymore. After couple gms I got used to it already.

i agree too.... mcfadden had 158 yards rushing...mobb gave up some big runs ...but it was back and forth til the last min.....

I'm sure you would get use to it after a few games if you keep playing it. I played a half and could tell the difference. I went into practice mode this weekend just to see if i was going crazy and there is a difference. I know playing it I would eventually get use to it, thats just human nature, but I shouldn't have to. The speed was fine and slower than 09 on normal, there was no point in changing it. it just feels like they have dumbed it down for those who couldn't keep up and couldnt read the defense fast enough

[Rohtang]

dave.....I tore my groin muscle and right now, the only thing i can do is sit and watch T.V. and play the game....that is way I have played so many game....if that wasnt the case....i probably wouldnt haev buy 10 games played...

[mcstl25]

I agree. My first game I didn't notice any difference. Can't really see much of a difference now.

Same here. I didn't really notice much of a difference. If anything, my running game has gotten much worse since Friday.

[Helicopter]

Nice write-up, Dave. I look forward to reading these every week and never being on them. Its good to see others doing well, lol.

Amount of Players Speed 90+
Seahawks - 5
Steelers - 6
Texans - 6
Titans - 3
Vikings - 3
Bears - 5
Bengals - 4
Bills - 5
Broncos - 6
Browns - 2 (both 90 speed)
Buccaneers - 2
Cardinals - 2
Chargers - 5
Chiefs - 2
Colts - 4
Cowboys - 7
Dolphins - 5
Eagles - 9
Falcons - 5
49ers - 3
Giants - 4
Jaguars - 8
Jets - 4
Lions - 4
Packers - 3
Panthers - 5
Patriots - 4
Raiders - 12 lmao
Rams - 5
Ravens - 7
Redskins - 5
Saints - 6

All the bold teams have an equal or lesser number of players with speed 90+. So are all of them "pity" teams? Are all those users at an immediate disadvantage? The Seahawks actually have more speed then a majority of the teams...I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin ya know?

I actually like this list Beer. Good work.
I haven't checked - how many of those Seahawks over 90 are starters or play offensive skill positions?

We should have lists like this for all the key ratings. This is good work.

There should be a separate thread for this.

[Hasselbeck]

I'm too inconsistent to be in the Top 10.. it's not because of Seattle.. I mix up my team selection as I like to try out every team in the beginning.

One game I play really well, the next I stink up the joint. It's why I'm 3 games under .500.

I would have lost to DSA only 10-7 though.. but I called a TO to try and get a miracle return with Hester and lost by 6. So that's an accomplishment in itself for me given how good he is.

[dave]

Seattle is not the worst team in the game, come on!

You know I respect your game ... so, use Seattle for your next five Tracker games.
I'm curious more than anything.
Let's see what you - the best player on these boards - can do with a team like that.
And don't play scrubs. Find above average opponents.

I know you have it in you.

Seattle's biggest weakness is at free safety, Brian Russell is useless so I usually stick Kelly Jennings in there. Only problem is while he's fast and covers better.. he tackles as well as I do.

Hasselbeck is accurate.. the receivers are smaller, but quick.. Carlson is a stud.. the running game kind of sucks but you can keep a defense honest if you stick with it.

Defensively, their linebackers are nasty.. the line is decent.. and the secondary aside from the Russell thing is very sound.

Seattle's not a bad team overall.

I am only basing this on one game, to be honest, but their receivers couldn't get separation to save their lives and their run game was awful. Frankly, I think EA jobbed Seattle big-time in this game, because their receivers while not great are decent and Hasselbeck is a very good QB. The run game they got right. Seattle's runningbacks suck.

Depends on who you want to start at CB, but i think its Josh Wilson, is 95 speed, Butler, I would play in the slot cuz he catch rating is actually better then Burleson, hes 94, and then I think they have a quick RB and two more CB's not sure dont have the game in front of me right now.

Time for you to make a name for yourself and create a ratings thread like this based on all the key ratings.

Contribute something real to the community, other than whining for respect from these ratings.
