Lets face it, how the game rates players in general is botched. As an example I routinely have defensive players from lower tier schools win the Heisman. Since it's inception in 1935 the award has only gone to a defensive player once and almost always to a player from a major program. Then many of my players who earn player of the year awards don't even make 2nd team All American.
One year, I had a HB win all the major awards to include the Heisman, and break a few NCAA rushing records, his overall rating was only an 84 so he went undrafted. Do you think that would really happen in real life??????
From these examples and many others, I can only conclude that the Devs don't follow college football at all. Maybe what they need is to hire a college football 'expert' to oversee the technical aspects of the game just like movie producers do.
