Read what i posted, when u goto Play now, or play an online game, it just shows u the ratings from the start of the season, so they were really an 82, which is where they stayed. Look at the rosters, it's obvious that Arizona isn't an 71 when you look at their players, when u goto franchise it updates the team ratings.

[Macken]

im confused.. when i start an online game with the lions they are a 65

[celtsxpatsxsox]

I believe the difference between franchise and online is that franchise is the average of all the player overalls. Online is what the producers think the team should be rated based on real life. Correct me if I am wrong but thats what I think

[Saluki]

It's the average of all the starters overalls like celts said

[The Messenger]

I think Detroit should be lower

I wish there was a "no shit. ya think?" smiley.

[Saluki]

I think Detroit should be lower

When u think about it 82 average starter is pretty shitty

Who do you guys think is the best team in the game now after the final update?

I like the fact of the teams ratings being closer than usual. Especially how any team can beat any team in real life

[Saluki]

He was close, real team ratings are based of the starters ratings.
