- EA sports dropped their overall team rankings and ratings for EA College Football 25 rankings week. Let's just say there are some egregious errors. Like indefensible. A lot of teams too high, some teams too low, and some teams missing entirely. I try to figure out why Colorado is getting insane PR so far in the game, while also critiquing the rest of the list. I even throw together a Vegas list that works way better than EA's.

Lol...every streamer upset about preseason ratings is comedy and proof EA got it right. College football is all about debates and controversy when it comes to polls, playoff selections, best conference, and best home field advantage. The ratings will change once games are actually played. Right now they made the top 25 have parity which is the way to launch the game
My problem is with how bad they were. If there weren’t a couple of egregious mistakes I wouldn’t have said anything, but there’s a problem when a game, made by college football fans, has ratings that don’t reflect what’s on the field. I know the ratings will change, but the first game isn’t going to be played until the game has been out for a month and the first update to the ratings probably won’t be until a month after that. At the minimum that’s 1 month of the games life where these are the ratings. It absolutely does matter.
If you notice multiple teams share the same overall as Colorado but they happen to put them at what 16 or 17?
Doesn’t surprise me if they did that on purpose knowing it would get people talking.
Also we should read into the overalls in the 80s if anything I’m convinced that’s just the average for the big programs to make a clear difference between them and the small schools that only get 2 or 3 star players.
Also one more thing I will say is that not all overalls are the same I believe.
Take Colorado for example. Sure their QB and Hunter have hight overalls, but I’m sure their offensive line sucks so can say it averages out in the 80s range.
This is a great point. It seems as if they’re really trying to make a distinction between the P4 and the G5 with what we’ve seen so far. I’m not sure what the does for dynasty, but it’s definitely very interesting. The problem with Colorado is that even though Shaduer and Travis will be 90+, the rest of the offense even shouldn’t be above an 80 at best. Most of them should be in the low to mid 70s with an occasional high 70. It’s just so odd to me how they came up with their rating given all the information available to them.
@@BryceTinson I say it’ll definitely make dynasty more interesting if you choose to start off with one of the lower tier teams.
As for Colorado? Well not all ratings are equal so just because their overall is in the high 80s doesn’t mean they are that good.
Take an offensive lineman for example. You can make their overall high by giving them awareness which does nothing outside of sim, but they could suck compare to another lineman because that one in question have high ratings in categories that matters like pass or run blocking.
When there over 100 schools, can argue it makes sense seeing a lot of the power conferences having teams in the low to mid 80s at worse even if they aren’t truly as good as some of us may think they are going into the season.
You seem to be pretty good at making videos. I can see only a couple of them though. Do you have another channel? Will you be doing any content after game drops?
No this is my first channel. I appreciate the support. Yeah I’ll be doing a ton of game content once the game drops. I’ve never been this excited for a video game.
Does team overall effect player ratings and play in game?
The player’s overall makes up team overall meaning that the teams at the top have high rated players. That will effect how each team plays in the game
Colorado is the 5th best team in the Big 12 that does not make them a good team
That might even be generous. They have the 11th best odds to win the Big12 and have a current over/under win total of 5.5. It just doesn’t make a ton of sense how they’re so highly rated.
@BryceTinson like u said, there are a bunch of 87s that wasn't shown, so again, it doesn't seem high if like 15 teams have the same OVR
@deeblassingame2002 and if a lot teams average 87 I would lean toward the with 2 of highest rated players in the game.
@richmac7212 I agree with that but the hoopla about their OVR is crazy to me
@@deeblassingame2002 they brought in 8 4* transfer. That's almost a whole unit of above average players.
FSU killed LSU last season how are they ranked higher
Because it’s based on this season. FSU has a lot of starters to replace whereas LSU doesn’t have as many
USC defense will be much improved and watching our spring game the defense won the spring game by almost 3 scores so it's pretty accurate. Just hope we prove the naysayers wrong
I just have to see it on the field first before I feel good about the rating they got. If they do, I won’t say a thing about it
@@BryceTinson see I said this these last two years before the season started our defense was trash even when my homie who's a Norte Dame fan asked me what are we going to do before the season I replied our defense is trash. But I know my football when I see it we'll force a lot of turnovers just stopping the run we'll have to see come week 1. I'm realistic when it comes to my team we hired a new DC and other staff it showed in the spring game.
@@BryceTinson if they're trash on D talk yo ish
No way there is a reason yall have to score 50 points a game
Where is Florida? Where is Michigan State? A lot of these are just not right. Ohio state is not a 93 overall caliber team right now (def top 5, just not 93) Alabama at 92 is crazy, coming off a year they beat GA and now have a great group of mostly vets/seniors they deserve to be with Oregon, though just my opinion. I can understand some of these are just marketing stunts…but this is so wrong
I disagree about Florida and Michigan State being in the top 25. I also disagree with Ohio State not being a 93. They returned like 85% production from last years team and got 2 high impact starters in the portal. Alabama is good at 92. The skill positions outside of RB are a question, but the defense is going to be good.
@@BryceTinsonI am an TA&M fan, but I personally think FL is a solid team that just needs some discipline to be great. They are definitely over Kansas and below imo. Michigan State I can kinda Agree with thinking on it. Ohio State at least to me doesn’t have any real depth outside of their admittedly high level starters. I’m not sure about recruiting outside my own school so I can’t say much there. But I think the ratings are already kinda all over the place. But that’s why you play the game I guess lol!
I agree with some EAs ovr but the others wrong
Colorado Native and I agree Colorado is wayyy too high. My other guess is guys like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders artificially inflate those numbers. A good QB and WR are extremely valued at the college level, more so than the NFL I would argue. Perhaps those ratings are weighted because of that? That doesn’t change the fact that they were the 95th ranked offense statistically. They weren’t even the best statistical offense in Colorado last year 😂 Strength of schedule is obviously a factor but it’s wild to have them that high based on those stats
That was another thought I had. Could certain positions weight more heavily into the overall rating? It seems as if they would, but their top 20 defensive rating kind of counters that. Just doesn’t really add up at the end of the day.
There had to be some colorado shade 😅, so because people wanna see deion be successful make us casuals 😅, im a hugh big blue michigan fan i love texas and the ducks , and i still watch and wanna see deion win and thats most people who actually follow them we watch college football aint nothing wrong with support a person you like or thw team they coach, yall love creating these false narrative, remember the had one of the highest viewership even when they was losing .
That’s my point tho! They had like the 4th highest viewership of all the teams in college football. That’s because of Deion, not because there were just a bunch of new college football fans. I’m not saying all of Deion fans are casuals, but you’re kidding yourself if you think most of them aren’t.
@BryceTinson my bad I misunderstood what you said .that's on me.
They should work with Kirk Heirbstreit on the ratings he knows almost how all the teams look and work. I'm a USC fan and I'm not complaining where they have us at offense a lil low but it's ok but I do want to see prime succeed I believe they can make the big 12 championship as long as sheduer stays protected.
Y’all make videos for clicks so much, y’all do know it’s says ratings can change and will change
Well that’s the point of making videos; to get people to click on them. Sure the ratings are going to change, I mention it in the video, but with a rating that’s this egregious there deserves to be questions. There is simply no way that the 100s of college football fans working on this game would agree with that rating. It just makes 0 logical sense. All I really want is an honest explanation.
U know these ratings are Fugazi dawg cmon, especially Colorado’s!!! Colorado ain’t a top 2 big12 team, if they are then go put some money on them winning the big 12, they have the ELEVENTH best odds to win the Big12, stop the foolery.
Casual fans and players Don't care about gameplay just how it looks.they need to make a game for Casuals;because they are ruining the game!!!
