As I have already stated, there is more to the story I am not sharing publicly.  But if you want to continue to be a jackass, please feel free.

The length of this thread is amazing.  Video games are serious business around these parts.

Not tin foil hats.  If anyone other than JTrue would like the true story, I'd be happy to explain in confidence in a PM.

I was just curious which year you thought USF was definitively better than UCF in the preseason and EA shafted us. Since you mentioned it was after  "one of our best years in the Big East," I have to assume it you're referring to one of the three season we went 4-3 in conference. So that would be 2005, 2006, or 2007. And since it was the season after you said we got screwed, that means it was 2006, 2007, or 2008. So let's take a look.

2006 USF 9-4 C+ UCF 4-8 C 

2007 USF 9-4 C+ UCF 10-4 B- 

2008 USF 8-5 B UCF 4-8 B-

I'll pick 2007 out of this batch, since it's the only year that actually fits your complaint.

So in a year that USF went 9-4 and EA Sports gave us a C+ overall, C offense, C+ defense, C+ special teams, and 2 stars for prestige and gave  10-4 UCF a B- overall, a B- offense, B- defense, B special teams, and 2 stars of prestige, you think UCF moles in Maitland did us in? 

 

 

Are those preseason grades for 2007 or for the following year based on 2007?

Their former ratings czar Donny Moore was a UCF alumni but he wasn't into this petty crap. Too bad he went to Fan Duel, not sure how long that industry will be around.

Fact, I've been playing Madden since they did weekly updates years ago and never seen a player rated 0 or a player that changed position they didn't update. A good example would be DT vs DE or OLB vs MLB changes where they changed their player card to reflect the position change.

So because a fringe NFL player doesn't have amazing ratings this is a conspiracy?

And fun with semantics.
