Martinez: 87 ovr 84 spd 86 agi 95 acc 81 awr 75 btk 82 elu 87 thp 81 tha Quick view of all player ratings:

Is there anyone here who meticulously edits the Nebraska rosters to get the equipment right down to the arm bands? Maybe a few re-rated players too? Every year I use Carson's rosters (from OperationSports), which are due out Thur, then I exhaustively update major B1G teams, OSU, UM, MSU, etc. I have a spreadsheet I use to track the changes, which makes it easier to write down the facemask, arm bands, etc. Is there anyone who could help me out with Nebraska's changes/equipment?

On top of the well-covered changes to passes (throwing over defenders, to sidelines), they also made big changes to dual threats. Fast QBs can finally run like they should (they made it too easy for a DT to stay with Denard in the pocket) but they can't fling it at a sprint like last year. You have to stop and set your feet to throw a 20 yd laser. They also made it hard to throw a one step drop that isn't part of the play. Last year, if you saw the flat uncovered you could hot route a guy outside and throw it instantly. Heck it often worked even if it was covered in man. Now those passes often go incomplete because the receiver isn't ready for em. They totally overhauled recruiting as well, made it much mroe indepth, strategic and took out the stupid random pitches.

It's DarkSaunders Have you had a chance to upload your roster changes yet? The operation sports rosters are due out at 3 pm, so I'm hoping to make all of my big ten changes today and re-upload by at least tonight (have company visiting or it would be sooner)

Thanks Saunders, make sure to post your gamertag so I can check them out. I'm on a 360, so if you're a PS3 user, I may request that you share the changes here (the re-rated players and changed players).

Thanks, are these simply names & numbers for the players EA chose? Or did you make changes? Those are their pro combat alternates they wore once last year. Nike did this with about 10 schools. The really stupid thing is that they used the same basic pant design for almost every school, then had the audacity to try and pass them off as throwbacks for Ohio State (with the wrong helmet).

Sorry to hear that, but glad he could stay in school. Who should I replace him with?

I need your help: I'm trying to complete the best possible custom roster for NCAA Football 2011. Many do a great job naming every player or making the obvious changes (Seantrel Henderson to Miami, Keith Nichol to WR), but I wanted to focus on each big ten team and find the small changes they overlook due to time constraints, then add those changes on top of custom name roster. What changes would you make to the Nebraska roster? (see next post) Jersey number, position switches (include rating help),or player swaps. Some examples: PSU WR Chaz Powell moved to corner, so he needed a big bump in ratings to be a solid corner OSU RG Evan Blankenship is a career backup behind 2+ frosh, so he was converted to frosh DE Baldwin ups7 is my gamertag for downloading the roster. I'll bump this thread once it is finished (ETA wed or thur)

I agree. I don't know how Nebraska beating Ohio State would be a bad thing. The Big Ten would get a ton of good publicity from an Ohio State-Nebraska NCG and if Nebraska won, it would just show they are getting a Nebraska that is truly back. I think it would be a double-edged sword. It would be great for the Big Ten moving forward, but it would reinforce the stereotype that the Big Ten and flagship Buckeyes are overmatched on the biggest stage.

lol, my bad... I think that play and the Flea Kicker (which I knew was Nebraska) somehow rolled together. Can I substitute a second favorite? The flea flicker play by Michigan in the alamo bowl. Instead of pitching it to a superstar returner and challenging Cal-Stanford for an all-time great lateral play, Tyler Ecker runs for 20 yds alongside Breaston and then non-chalantly accepts going out of bounds.

You'll enjoy it more when they have Nebraska week with classic replays Football season is enjoyable because you get a couple of conference games, every highlight on saturday night (not just 3 plays from OSU, PSU & UM), and then can catch the coaches' shows, which walk you through all of the meaningful highlights. This is a great way to keep tabs on a rival or upcoming opponent. Basketball season is nice too because you get national access to a lot of games that wouldn't be on TV otherwise. This might not interest Nebraska fans as much, but it is the biggest feature of the BTN (football season is nice but really just replaces Gameplan it doesn't add that much game content, bball does). Some fans enjoy the access to wrestling, soccer, baseball, softball, track, etc that you would never get otherwise. The spring is enjoyable because you get a dozen shows at spring practice around the big ten, and at the end they air about 7-8 of them on two saturdays (they usually skip a couple like Northwestern, Purdue, etc). After that, the content gets pretty weak, but that's the offseason for you. Also, since they have much larger blocks of time to fill, they rotate between a week's worth of classic games for one particular school. This is fun for your school, but means there is a longer lull between interesting games. During the season, they tend to rotate between schools a lot more and use a lot less obscure games for the casual viewer. The offseason is always dull, because they don't have a full allotment of content yet. They're digitizing about 3-4 decades worth of major games, coaches shows (Bo & Woody giving analysis in their weekly coaches shows), so that will help fill the content when they're done.

When people talk about pre-semester games affecting sales, they mean 105k (Navy) instead of 106 or 107k. Not really, for two reasons:a) Our stadium isn't big enough to keep pace B) We don't get credited with the 40k in attendance in Ann Arbor last November

This is 'the year', and by that I mean if he doesn't produce this year, consider him gone. But saying his offence doesn't work is very incorrect, we were third in the Big10 in scoring, fourth in rushing, passing was weak, but we used freshmen. Three of our games were very close loses, one in OT to sparty. I think the offence will be much improved with returning QB's/wideouts/line, but the D, that's where the question is. Hopefully having the same D cord for the second straight year will help, but we'll see. No, actually those statistics are extremely misleading. They piled up outrageous numbers against 4 bad OOC opponents which severely distorted their season numbers. In big ten play, their offense & defense were virtually identical to the units UM fans suffered through in 08, despite the expectation that things could only get better (I shared that opinion about UM's offense). UM Team Statistics OOC | B10 | Stat ----- | ----- |------- 177 | 174 | Scoring Off 2009 056 | 175 | Scoring Off 2008 064 | 266 | Scoring Def 2009 079 | 272 | Scoring Def 2008 -------------------------------- Common B10 Opponents 08 | 09 | Oppon | Diff in scoring ------------------- 20 | 13 | Illinois....| -7 17 | 10 | PSU.......| -7 21 | 20 | MSU......| -1 42 | 36 | Purdue...| -6 27 | 24 | Wisky... | -3 07 | 10 | OSU......| +3 RR's decision to overthrow the defensive coordinator and force the 3-3-5 defense onto the field has made the unit noticeably worse, and is a very poor fit for the physical attacks of the big ten (which just got even deeper with another physical force like Nebraska). I think it has to be at least 8, and he cannot lose to sparty unless he wins 10 games. He's had so many inexcusable losses (including MSU 09) that any more will be nearly impossible to recover from.
