i've joined a league in which everyone has the game.. they used the same file we did, he never touched the ratings and it looks incredible... me bumping everyone up I think is really going to ruin this experience... The same file? cause you bumped the ratings down a lot, you didn't make them higher than where they started....

The same file? cause you bumped the ratings down a lot, you didn't make them higher than where they started.... Ugh, now it's getting frustrating... I didn't bump down anything... by bumping multiple people up it obviously affects others and makes them go down... If you check out that leagues website it IS the same exact file. It's now in it's second season... while some guys are not where they "should be" it's a simulation league, if we could mirror real life that would be amazing but it's impossible to do so. I know Spencer says everyone has lost interest because "they don't understand the ratings" isn't everyone new to this sim engine in the same boat? I lost interest because I absolutely hate overly inflated leagues, and this is what this league will become. I did a quick test sim with the current ratings as they are now and there were over 5 players who finished with more than 1,500 receiving yards and almost 30 or more players who finished with more than 1,000 receiving. I don't think that's very realistic.

Burleson is still 44 Makes no sense that he's 44 and Branch is 66

I thought you had dumped the ratings to get them lower, not just made a bunch more players better.... a lot of work, Vince Young had 18 picks tossed at least...ratings need to go down across the board though, big time...

not to mention it is pretty clear that right now the sim engine leads toward big passing numbers...in that League Willie Parker had the most rushing touchdowns with 10...The game likes to put up the big passing numbhers, even with a standard file, which is going to lead to better numbers for the WR's

with the preseason file 33 players finished above 1000 yards receiving...so it actually may have done a better job, though it didn't have anybody over 1500 it had 4 over 1400

And, of course, Santonio is still getting the shaft. He was 7th in the league in receiving yards. He's a little better than a 70 overall; some of his contributing statistics could certainly be a bit higher (specifically his strength and his hands). 70 overall means he's 70% of the best WR. Santonio is not a top 10 WR, top 30 probably. I mean I'm going to sound like a broken record but the ratings have been explained in pretty fair detail in this thread: wfl2010.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=53has everyone read this yet? Why is he not a top 10 receiver? He was top ten in yards, a leader in YPC, and a Super Bowl MVP. He's much close to a top 10 receiver than a top 30 receiver.

Holmes is probably top 20, I'd probably put Holmes like #19 or #20 and Ward around the same area. He's far from top 10 though... I think. Would you really put Holmes over these guys below?

I mean if Benson is gonna be an 80 overall. Grant should be mid 80s, considering Grant has more yards, carries, ypc, tds, etc.. Benson>>>Grant lmao if you watched football, Benson missed a few games...

I absolutely hate how lots of players are rated. With that being said, lets just go with it. Im sick of talking about how everyone is off. Lets just sim. If we dont like how its going we can always restart and well know better the 2nd time.

I have some serious reservations about this working though. There is so much work for the commish to do. Plus well have fake drafts right away. No way we could do a real draft class. it would take forever. But I think lots of guys dont like fake players. SO well lose some guys within 2-3 years.
Is there a database or collection of past drafts? If so a retro league might make more sense eventually.
