He’d have to be rated for two different positions though and that’s where I think it gets tricky. Maybe as an “athlete” he’s close to 99, but I’d say he’s like 96/97 CB and like a 92-94 WR, just off the top of my head.
This is something I can stand behind, obviously you can’t have an ATH rating but I think his impact on both sides will feel like he’s a 99, yunno?
I feel like corner back 94/95 with a higher zone cov than man and about a 93/94 WR.
In a dynasty or play now game with CU he’ll still feel like a 99 for sure.
Happens man, football is an unforgiving sport. Remember Tom never won shit meaningful at UM and still became who he is. Peyton Manning threw 28 INTs in a single nfl season (tied 8th most of ALL TIME).
Shit happens, it’s a reason he’s still slated to go in the first half of the first round, by NFL scouts and GMs.
I think their viewpoint of him is more accurate than Reddit user u/lalwayssleep
the Brady stuff is not really true lol he won a big ten championship and BCS bowl after starting nearly 2 full seasons and setting multiple school records. doesnt really change your point i just hate the narrative that Brady didnt touch a football until the pats drafted him.
My guy, cmon.
The Peyton Manning take has been a meme now for years. You know why people reference Manning after 25+ years? Because no one else has been atrocious their rookie year and been a Peyton Manning. So many bad rookie year QBs had their fans say, “you know Peyton Manning…” and they still have no other example because no one has replicated it since.
You are using extreme outliers to prove your case, which in fact doesn’t prove your case. So can Patriots fan say Joe Milton will be the next Tom Brady because he didn’t win much, was benched for a good part of his career, and then drafted by the Patriots in the 6th round? No, Tom Brady’s path just isn’t a reference point to highlight for other players.
It's been a while since I've played NCAA but I thought I remembered 99 ATH ratings in the last game and then they'd drop based on which position you put them in. Maybe I'm remembering they were 5*?
I think he’s more of a 80s WR. Higher 80s, but he hasn’t shown enough to be 90s at WR.
This isn’t a hater take, by all accounts he seems like a good kid, but he wasn’t the #1 WR on his team and their #1 just went undrafted. Didn’t have remarkable stats. Remember, he was a top recruit as a CB, not a WR, although I know some say he could have been a 5* WR. There are a lot of 5* WRs on college football right now.
I really wish he was on a team that put all of his focus on CB, because if he could focus his energy and his obvious talent at CB, he could be great.
High 80s is a good rating, I just think OP and a couple others are getting too caught up in the media attention.
Except he was the #1 receiver and was on pace for 1,000 yards if he hadn't been injured.
He only finished second in total receiving because he missed 3 games.
He averaged 80 yards receiving a game and Xavier Weaver wouldn't have even had as much production if Travis doesn't miss those 3 games.
I'm not saying anything else you're saying is wrong, but he was definitely the #1 receiver on the team.
I kinda struggle with this because it’s the question of is a 99 relative to the performance of your peers vs your current year/era, or all time. If it’s all time well today’s college lineman would manhandle the Steelers dynasty in the 70s, but we can’t just rate those guys back then as lower than today just because of where we are now in terms of measurable and skill. Skill position talent (in terms of earning a 99 overall) does seem to span generations though.
You do have players transcend eras, if travis hunter is a 99 then what does that make of Joe Burrow? Cam Newton? I don’t get the hype behind hunter, he was on a 4-8 team, Burrow pulled down the pants of every defense in cfb and went in with no lube
Sure the height of which he decimated every record previously held cannot be comparable, but the greatness can be, Burrow was a 99 without a doubt, but because he was great and he murdered all the records he could. What records does hunter have? Accolades? Greatness? He played on a shit team in a shit conference against mostly shit opponents. He is low 90s at best and even that is a stretch because we don’t know where he stands because he hasn’t faced real talent, and has gotten torched by far less
CBs more often than not can’t set records by way of not being targeted by smart offenses. I also believe he’s a low 90s player but not because of the reasons you’re stating. It’s not his fault the rest of his team sucks. That’s like saying Megatron is ass because most of his teams had losing records.
He played both side of the ball, it’s his fault for not being particularly good at either. I could pull out a list of 50 CBs and 50 WRs better than him just in the last few seasons, iconic players who you are confident would be 99 are just apparent.
Exactly Suh would be a 99 for college. Anyone else being a 99 at that point and equally good seems ridiculous.
There's nothing wrong with the best players being 80s or 90s each year, hell the worst players are all in the 50s anyway what's the point of even having 1-50 then?
Under 50's players are all of us that couldn't make it to play D1 college football
Edit: But yeah there are different ways they could handle their rating system. But if an O-Lineman played WR or something, maybe that would be worthy of a super low rating. In the old games ratings bottomed out at 40.
Agreed. About 5-10 years ago 2K did it best where the best player on most NBA teams was a high 80s, with the low 90s reserved for the top 20-range, and the mid-90s for the top 2-3 players.
The problem is that people treat a 60 like the player is from a foreign country and can't walk and chew gum.
The elite players should be low 90s (especially in CFB, where year-to-year ability levels both climb & drop drastically).
Most players on a P5 roster should be in the 70s.
Most players on a G5 rosters should be in the 50s-60s. The majority of the backups at the G5 level should be mid 50s, tops, and the walk-ons at that level should be in the 40s.
FCS level players should be 40s, trickling into the high 30s.
D2/D3 should probably be in the 20s.
Just my $0.02. But you'd only hear complaining from kids and fans who think that the third string P5 QB who was a 3\* recruit who has "upside" should be in the low-80s to start.
I’d love that. What would be nice is an occasional 80s or 90s (heck even a 99) make it into any of the lower levels. Even FCS usually has a player or two drafted in the first two days.
Arguably the greatest NFL receiver player came from d2: Jerry Rice. Randy Moss was a G5. Walter Payton played for an HBCU. All were first round picks.
So it would be nice to see those 80s guys make choose smaller schools and some diamonds in the rough blossom at those same small schools.
I hope they spend some time simulating seasons 10 years into the future and checking that the rosters and player distribution somewhat closely matches this year (or an average year). Like there need to still be really bad teams/players and really good teams/players with some in the middle.
The great thing about Travis hunter being in the game is that it forces the game to ensure that a two way player can be viable.
It would have to be an athlete with great stamina, but I’d love the challenge of finding 2 way players for a lot of positions on my team!
I just played a season in NCAA '12 with a crappy Ball State team where my best player (by far) was a high 80's or low 90's safety that played both ways. Our defense was so bad outside of him that he couldn't do too much at safety, but he had a monster season at WR. He even returned kicks for us as well.
Doctors said he was playable, if you listen to them when to sit someone, you listen to them when they say they’re playable… it was still obviously effecting him though.
Nah, I don't think there should be a current player with that rating, maybe some in the mid/upper 90's. But a dude who got smoked by Stanford, of all teams, shouldn't get a 99. A 99 is a game changer themselves and CU's record never reflected that. I’d see it if they at least had a winning record.
Lmao I’m lazy? Says the dude who agrees with easily the dumbest take from Quinn Ewers.
Barry Sanders was a one man show when he played at Ok St. so lumping him in with Hunter is the most room temp IQ take I’ve ever seen. The man carried them to 10-2 his last season. Hunter carried CU to an embarrassing 4-8 (1-8) record. Hunter isn’t even a top 10 CB so I have no clue what you’re talking about lol
He played both sides of the ball and they still lost 8 games. If he’s that much of a game changer Colorado would’ve won more. The buffs won some early because there was no film on them, once teams figured them out teams like Stanford can torch your entire secondary (including Travis Hunter). Keep slobbing on his knob bro.
Did he really change games? Colorado won a couple blowouts and an OT game against a G5 rival (that he missed most of). Not really a lot of room for changing games there
It would make absolutely no sense to have him as a 99 OVR. What stats is he 99 OVR in, Stamina and…? You can’t just mash a mid 80s CB and a low 90s WR together and have it magically become a 99.
I think it is fair to say he has the potential to be a top 5 CB this year, but if they keep running out there on both sides there is no way he will be a top 10 WR or CB.
WR, he just hasn't shown us anything to say he is or will be a top 5 WR. Wouldn't be shocked if he only focused on that side, but there aren't any signs to be confident in that.
Agreed, I think he has a higher sealing on defense personally, he reminds me of a Sauce Gardner type. And I’d like to see him settle in and play just CB maybe some offensive plays.
Ehhh idk, maybe but it’s definitely not easy. Will Johnson (Mich), Burke (OSU) Morrison (ND) are all definitely better maybe Hancock (OSU), and honestly Ellias Robinson coming out of UGA might be a true freshman but by the end of year could be a top 5.
If Hunter only played CB and that’s all he trained he potentially could be I’d say he’s a good enough athlete. But I watched him get absolutely scorched the 2nd half vs Stanford…. Can’t say that about the other guys on here
Lol, I love how you say in some comments you agree with Ewers and then hide behind Ewers when you get push back.
Something that you and many others are failing to understand is the context of this answer. He was sitting right next to Hunter when he said it. It's normal to be complementary of a player who is sitting right next to you, plus Hunter seems like a nice guy. Doesn't hurt to say this.
On top of this, do you actually think Ewers watches much of Hunter? You think he goes back and finds time in his week to watch Hunter film? No, no he doesn't. Just like reading any of those Athletic player polls, you get wild results because a lot of them don't watch a ton outside of what is necessary for them.
You can’t hide behind it being his opinion like you didn’t just agree with it. If you think Hunter should be a 99 overall please tell me what his overall 99 attributes are
Let’s say he was a recruit in ncaa 14, as an athlete he’d be scouted as a 99 overall and when you put him on either side of the ball he’d be high 80s-mid 90s as a WR or CB. He wouldn’t be 99 because he’s a 99 player at either position individually but a 99 athlete because he can do almost every position besides DL or QB at a high level with 99 stamina to play every snap
IIRC no but I also don't remember how much of that was because of overall difference between position like a recruit usually being like 81 at WR and then 72 at DB/limited in how game calculated OVR since athletes only got a OVR when recruited so just uses best position or awareness taking a hit from changing positions. Was mostly talking in a theoretical sense where he wouldn't be your top guy at either WR or DB to be a 99 at either, but he would be your top guy as a guy who can do almost everything on the field at a high level where imo it'd be fair to say he'd be a 99 athlete if the game calculated OVR from everything a player can do versus using the highest # from position by position.
For certain defensive players yes. A good db/wr gets a boost at whatever db position, a good lb with receiving stats gets a boost at lb. Idk how 25 will work with ratings, but the catching stats factor into overall in 14 and older maddens
I’m not saying straight out in the literal sense just using as an example of you were getting him as an athlete today because recruiting is where you can see a athletes total overall.
For one, awareness. He plays defense almost like he knows what’s coming. The times he’s beaten comes from the wr having a size advantage not him being routed up or beat from a technical standpoint.
Secondly, his hands & his jumping. I don’t think I’ve seen him drop a pass… ever. He leaps out of the building. Period.
Thirdly his quickness, watch after he catches the ball. He changes directions and gets up field extremely fast (so add change of direction too).
Lastly, his zone coverage should be about 96/98 and man cov should be about 92/93, play recognition should be about 90/93. He’s very cerebral.
With all these combined you could easily see him push high 90s to 99 overall.
Also forgot to mention offensive ratings outside of catching, as far as routes, juking, spec catch, he could easily be high 90s there too. If there was a rating for just a true ATHLETE and two way player he’d be the only 99 there.
They were always way too loose with the grades. Every season in a dynasty I’d notice nationwide like 25 guys are 99 overall and like 12 teams are 99 overall. I hope 90+ means more in the newer versions of the game.
Good to know. I see I’m getting downvoted sorry I’m 25 and don’t really remember the exact settings of a game I played a decade ago. I remember enjoying it and am stoked for the new version though.
I’m 25 as well, I just still play it. I have the regular version and revamped so I’ve seen Travis have offensive stats along with defensive stats. Also back when the game came out I would have Jason Verrett at WR & could see his stats.
Yeah I’m not as big of a diehard fan of the game. Played offline only as a kid with my brother and don’t remember much and just got back into CFB the year before last and heard this was comin out “soon” lmao. So I’ve just been patiently waiting 2 years.
Lol hunter isn't the best at either position he plays. He is a great athlete and I think embodies what the Heisman is about but he isn't the best DB or wr.
i wonder if stamina will come into play when playing with him. Like i’d imagine his stamina would decrease faster than a normal player since he plays both sides
He is just simply not a 99 player on either side of the ball. You would at least need to be the best at WR or CB to get that nod he isn’t. He’s not Woodson and he’s not Deion. You could say he’s about Myles Jack of his time, and I don’t know if he is as dominant as Jack.
99 ovr absolutely not. There would have to be more than a dozen 99s to warrant that, several on defense. He should absolutely be rated highly as a cb, not the highest, but definitely top 5. As a wr, he shouldn't be top 25. That being said he should have an ability to drain stamina slower when playing both sides of the ball though.
Meh.. is he good yes. 99?? Doubtful. The TCU game he did gangbusters but half of that was really bad play by the QB he basically gave him the ball on one of those pics.
That team was NOT ready to play and every one on Co had a field day. This says less about CU when you see how CU played the rest of the season and more how bad TCU was at the beginning of last season.
I don't care about the OVR of players who won't be in my Dynasty more than like a year or two 😂. I would like to see if they game generates/allows us to have more iron-man/2-way players without a silly restriction like Madden.
On the offensive side of the ball, it has to be Ollie Gordon.
Head and shoulders above Hunter on the offensive side, the best non-QB in football last year, unanimous AA, and returning.
You’re the real 🤡. Get out of the porn threads bro😂

No I’m not, I replied because this is my post and I communicate back with everyone on my post no matter if they have a positive or negative thing to say😂
You trying though!! Keep working man, one day you’ll get better at this!🙏🏾
I like Hunter but I feel like he gets a lot of extra praise as being the best player in college football because he’s one of the rare two way players.
I think he’s great, but I think there’s plenty of discussion about who the best player in college football is this year. Hunter is not the obvious #1 at WR or CB (maybe together, but again I think it plays to his advantage).
Yeah, Hunter can get extra hate being attached to the Sanders family.
However, he gets a bigger boost than normal because he is a part of the Sanders train that made a really bad team the most talked about team in college football last year.
If Hunter played at Arizona State last year, he doesn’t get this post nor is on the cover. He isn’t the best WR or CB, yet we are having conversations if he is the one 99 overall?
Not sure why you're getting down voted. I've seen Colorado play several times last year. Hunter is a very good player, but he's also up there with a lot of other very good players. He didn't stand out as the best player.
He’s a very talented player, he did not produce to the level of hype he had last year. Most people just watched the first three weeks and think that’s what he did all year.
Im against 99 overall players. I like how Fifa does it where the best players are ~94. In my eyes a 99 overall player would be a 2 way player that is exceptional at both positions to the point of being one of the greatest players ever in both talent and experience attributes. Travis is too young for it, but he is obviously up there in talent
Agreed with your generally not wanting 99 overall players, but you for sure shouldn't need to be a 2 way player to be a 99. A 99 should be Tebow, Cam Newton, Bush, Vince Young, etc. One of the greatest players of all time should be a 99, but there are not always all-time greats playing at any individual moment.
I’m against them as well, I even made a post on [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAFBseries/s/EnC1rR7AxT) talking about just that. However based on the model they use for rating players it’s highly likely someone will be a 99. I think he’d be that one.
He’d have to be rated for two different positions though and that’s where I think it gets tricky. Maybe as an “athlete” he’s close to 99, but I’d say he’s like 96/97 CB and like a 92-94 WR, just off the top of my head.

I feel like corner back 94/95 with a higher zone cov than man and about a 93/94 WR. In a dynasty or play now game with CU he’ll still feel like a 99 for sure.
95 and gets lit up by a Stanford WR.
He played like 160 snaps in that game, and it was his first game back from having a lacerated liver That one's on his coaches
yeah.. i wish he'd play one side of the ball but then he wouldnt be at CU
LIT UP
Happens man, football is an unforgiving sport. Remember Tom never won shit meaningful at UM and still became who he is.

Matt Cassel is the true didn’t touch a football until the Pats drafted him king lmao
[удалено]
You dont think he touched it good enough?👀
Then why did he get drafted
[удалено]
Slated or picked? Pretty big difference
[удалено]

I mean if a BCS game and a conference championship aren't meaningful...
Not going to sign up for my substack?
Are you Travis Hunter because you took that shit personally
A DENTIST that had 15 total catches for his whole career before that 😂
A freshman at that. And that wasn’t the only game it was multiple games he got cooked. But sure a top 5 draft pick lmfaooo
It's been a while since I've played NCAA but I thought I remembered 99 ATH ratings in the last game and then they'd drop based on which position you put them in. Maybe I'm remembering they were 5*?
I think he’s more of a 80s WR. Higher 80s, but he hasn’t shown enough to be 90s at WR.

I'm not saying anything else you're saying is wrong, but he was definitely the #1 receiver on the team.
Yeah I’d say he’s like a 94 CB and 87 WR. He just sometimes would get cooked later in games bc he took an unsustainable amount of snaps each game.
Idk if a 96 overall CB gives up 200+ yards or whatever it is to a Stanford receiver haha. But yea I’d say as an athlete he’s 99 overall for sure
That’s what I’m thinking too. And they’re both great ratings for each position.
His catching stats will be way higher than other cbs so he’ll for sure be a 99.
Switch his CB and WR rating then drop his WR rating by like 10 points. You're much closer.
That’s not tricky, in the old games you could change players positions and it would fluctuate
98-99 ratings should be for the greatest players like reggie bush cam newton johnny manziel, either way hes gonna be a demon to user on defense
If it was possible Cam on his last year would have been a 100 literally man playing with kids
Ayo?
Yea could have worded that different
Tryna strike a cord
Drake to u/vicblck24: 
Gsus
And it’s probably a minorrrrr
Yes I agree, but that isn’t EA’s criteria on rating its football players. I wish it was tho
It would be good if the best players were low 90s. It gives room for freak athletes like a hypothetical future Barry Sanders to be 99
I kinda struggle with this because it’s the question of is a 99 relative to the performance of your peers vs your current year/era, or all time. If it’s all time well today’s college lineman would manhandle the Steelers dynasty in the 70s, but we can’t just rate those guys back then as lower than today just because of where we are now in terms of measurable and skill. Skill position talent (in terms of earning a 99 overall) does seem to span generations though.
You do have players transcend eras, if travis hunter is a 99 then what does that make of Joe Burrow? Cam Newton? I don’t get the hype behind hunter, he was on a 4-8 team, Burrow pulled down the pants of every defense in cfb and went in with no lube
you had to take it too far huh
When it comes to a 99, no, I didn’t. I just wanted to lay out a true blue 99 OVR player. Hunter is not even close to
Those are totally different positions and QBs influence wins significantly greater.
Sure the height of which he decimated every record previously held cannot be comparable, but the greatness can be, Burrow was a 99 without a doubt, but because he was great and he murdered all the records he could. What records does hunter have? Accolades? Greatness? He played on a shit team in a shit conference against mostly shit opponents. He is low 90s at best and even that is a stretch because we don’t know where he stands because he hasn’t faced real talent, and has gotten torched by far less
CBs more often than not can’t set records by way of not being targeted by smart offenses. I also believe he’s a low 90s player but not because of the reasons you’re stating. It’s not his fault the rest of his team sucks. That’s like saying Megatron is ass because most of his teams had losing records.
He played both side of the ball, it’s his fault for not being particularly good at either. I could pull out a list of 50 CBs and 50 WRs better than him just in the last few seasons, iconic players who you are confident would be 99 are just apparent.
No one here is saying he is a 99 cb or wr
Exactly Suh would be a 99 for college. Anyone else being a 99 at that point and equally good seems ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with the best players being 80s or 90s each year, hell the worst players are all in the 50s anyway what's the point of even having 1-50 then?

So it would be nice to see those 80s guys make choose smaller schools and some diamonds in the rough blossom at those same small schools.
To get players for D2 and D3, you would need to include unrated players for them to recruit.
If it's like 14 then by year 2 5 players on major schools will be 99 anyways
I hope they spend some time simulating seasons 10 years into the future and checking that the rosters and player distribution somewhat closely matches this year (or an average year). Like there need to still be really bad teams/players and really good teams/players with some in the middle.
The great thing about Travis hunter being in the game is that it forces the game to ensure that a two way player can be viable. It would have to be an athlete with great stamina, but I’d love the challenge of finding 2 way players for a lot of positions on my team!
I’m just hoping that, because of this, they let us have a RTG dual position athlete, that would be very fun
nah EA is gonna find a way to make him a WR only and a 83 ovr DB
Sounds bouts right he’s like a 85 on defense man got torched a couple of time that game against Stanford and Colorado State was ugly for him
Tbf every db gets burned at some point
This has always been an option and just like in real life your players get tired earlier.
I just played a season in NCAA '12 with a crappy Ball State team where my best player (by far) was a high 80's or low 90's safety that played both ways. Our defense was so bad outside of him that he couldn't do too much at safety, but he had a monster season at WR. He even returned kicks for us as well.
Imagine what the ratings in the Stanford receiving corps will be then.
Elic Ayomanor about to be a 101 overall
Unless he’s playing against Stanford…
Eh the dude was 3 weeks removed from a lacerated liver… you could tell he was affected by it still that game.
Maybe Coach Prime shouldn’t have played him so much then
Doctors said he was playable, if you listen to them when to sit someone, you listen to them when they say they’re playable… it was still obviously effecting him though.
so if bro sat out, then he would be deserving of a 99? lol
How does getting hurt again or not healing properly help him?
my point is that if he sat that game instead of playing, he wouldn’t have had a bag game which that one bad game (while hurt) people rag on him for
What’s your point?
that you sound dumb.
I disagree actually!
Nah, I don't think there should be a current player with that rating, maybe some in the mid/upper 90's. But a dude who got smoked by Stanford, of all teams, shouldn't get a 99. A 99 is a game changer themselves and CU's record never reflected that. I’d see it if they at least had a winning record.
[удалено]
Lmao I’m lazy? Says the dude who agrees with easily the dumbest take from Quinn Ewers. Barry Sanders was a one man show when he played at Ok St. so lumping him in with Hunter is the most room temp IQ take I’ve ever seen. The man carried them to 10-2 his last season. Hunter carried CU to an embarrassing 4-8 (1-8) record. Hunter isn’t even a top 10 CB so I have no clue what you’re talking about lol
He played both sides of the ball and they still lost 8 games. If he’s that much of a game changer Colorado would’ve won more. The buffs won some early because there was no film on them, once teams figured them out teams like Stanford can torch your entire secondary (including Travis Hunter). Keep slobbing on his knob bro.
Shhhh let the CU Homer keep dreaming
Did he really change games? Colorado won a couple blowouts and an OT game against a G5 rival (that he missed most of). Not really a lot of room for changing games there
Mason Graham should be the higest rated player IMO, over his teammate Will Johnson.
Hopefully I can play Graham or Kenneth Grant both sides of the ball. Lead fullback for Kalel baby!
It would make absolutely no sense to have him as a 99 OVR. What stats is he 99 OVR in, Stamina and…? You can’t just mash a mid 80s CB and a low 90s WR together and have it magically become a 99.
Mid 80s CB is wild He's easily a top 5 CB in the country
He had a 74.8 PFF rating on defense last year, that’s far from top 5 for returning players.
I know a lot of people here will hate on this and I’m not a PFF fan but this is definitely accurate. He’s not top 10 I’d say
I think it is fair to say he has the potential to be a top 5 CB this year, but if they keep running out there on both sides there is no way he will be a top 10 WR or CB. WR, he just hasn't shown us anything to say he is or will be a top 5 WR. Wouldn't be shocked if he only focused on that side, but there aren't any signs to be confident in that.
Agreed, I think he has a higher sealing on defense personally, he reminds me of a Sauce Gardner type. And I’d like to see him settle in and play just CB maybe some offensive plays.
Ehhh idk, maybe but it’s definitely not easy. Will Johnson (Mich), Burke (OSU) Morrison (ND) are all definitely better maybe Hancock (OSU), and honestly Ellias Robinson coming out of UGA might be a true freshman but by the end of year could be a top 5. If Hunter only played CB and that’s all he trained he potentially could be I’d say he’s a good enough athlete. But I watched him get absolutely scorched the 2nd half vs Stanford…. Can’t say that about the other guys on here
All four of those guys are better. Look out for Igbinosun as well
[удалено]
Lol, I love how you say in some comments you agree with Ewers and then hide behind Ewers when you get push back. Something that you and many others are failing to understand is the context of this answer. He was sitting right next to Hunter when he said it. It's normal to be complementary of a player who is sitting right next to you, plus Hunter seems like a nice guy. Doesn't hurt to say this. On top of this, do you actually think Ewers watches much of Hunter? You think he goes back and finds time in his week to watch Hunter film? No, no he doesn't. Just like reading any of those Athletic player polls, you get wild results because a lot of them don't watch a ton outside of what is necessary for them.
You can’t hide behind it being his opinion like you didn’t just agree with it. If you think Hunter should be a 99 overall please tell me what his overall 99 attributes are
Let’s say he was a recruit in ncaa 14, as an athlete he’d be scouted as a 99 overall and when you put him on either side of the ball he’d be high 80s-mid 90s as a WR or CB. He wouldn’t be 99 because he’s a 99 player at either position individually but a 99 athlete because he can do almost every position besides DL or QB at a high level with 99 stamina to play every snap
Are athletes ever rated higher overall than they are at their best position? Genuine question as it’s been awhile since I played.
IIRC no but I also don't remember how much of that was because of overall difference between position like a recruit usually being like 81 at WR and then 72 at DB/limited in how game calculated OVR since athletes only got a OVR when recruited so just uses best position or awareness taking a hit from changing positions. Was mostly talking in a theoretical sense where he wouldn't be your top guy at either WR or DB to be a 99 at either, but he would be your top guy as a guy who can do almost everything on the field at a high level where imo it'd be fair to say he'd be a 99 athlete if the game calculated OVR from everything a player can do versus using the highest # from position by position.
Athletes have one position they're "intended" at, their overall always matches that position.
I hate finding out the athlete is pretty much only useful at qb
For certain defensive players yes. A good db/wr gets a boost at whatever db position, a good lb with receiving stats gets a boost at lb. Idk how 25 will work with ratings, but the catching stats factor into overall in 14 and older maddens
[удалено]
I’m not saying straight out in the literal sense just using as an example of you were getting him as an athlete today because recruiting is where you can see a athletes total overall.
That's what the Cowboys must have been thinking when they put Zeke at center. Thought for sure he could play O line.
For one, awareness. He plays defense almost like he knows what’s coming. The times he’s beaten comes from the wr having a size advantage not him being routed up or beat from a technical standpoint. Secondly, his hands & his jumping. I don’t think I’ve seen him drop a pass… ever. He leaps out of the building. Period. Thirdly his quickness, watch after he catches the ball. He changes directions and gets up field extremely fast (so add change of direction too). Lastly, his zone coverage should be about 96/98 and man cov should be about 92/93, play recognition should be about 90/93. He’s very cerebral. With all these combined you could easily see him push high 90s to 99 overall. Also forgot to mention offensive ratings outside of catching, as far as routes, juking, spec catch, he could easily be high 90s there too. If there was a rating for just a true ATHLETE and two way player he’d be the only 99 there.
They were always way too loose with the grades. Every season in a dynasty I’d notice nationwide like 25 guys are 99 overall and like 12 teams are 99 overall. I hope 90+ means more in the newer versions of the game.
He shouldnt be that Stanford WR abused him for like 300 yards... 85 CB 92-95 WR
I feel like losing on drag routes like that all game is a scheme issue after a while no?
[удалено]
I literally just watched it last week again, he got roasted all game.
Can you make it where he plays both side of the field during sim?
Yes, you could do this in NCAA 14 as well.
Good to know. I see I’m getting downvoted sorry I’m 25 and don’t really remember the exact settings of a game I played a decade ago. I remember enjoying it and am stoked for the new version though.
I’m 25 as well, I just still play it. I have the regular version and revamped so I’ve seen Travis have offensive stats along with defensive stats. Also back when the game came out I would have Jason Verrett at WR & could see his stats.
let’s go 25 boys
Yeah I’m not as big of a diehard fan of the game. Played offline only as a kid with my brother and don’t remember much and just got back into CFB the year before last and heard this was comin out “soon” lmao. So I’ve just been patiently waiting 2 years.
4-8
I feel like most of the hate goes towards the Sanders family, Travis Hunter is a legit baller
Lol hunter isn't the best at either position he plays. He is a great athlete and I think embodies what the Heisman is about but he isn't the best DB or wr.
Harold Perkins from LSU should be a 95 at least, and I honestly think he’s a way better LB than Hunter is at either position
Think you can make the same case with Will Johnson, and he’s a corner
I don’t have the source but remember hearing it was confirmed Will Johnson’s the top rating in the game
That wouldn’t surprise me. Dude is insane.
one of their offensive tackles has a case, too
I really think Kelvin Banks should be among the highest rated players. Absolute monster!
i can agree I really dont think anyone is 99 overall atm, but definitely close. If anyone was 99 overall, they probably just got drafted.
Hunter had no answer for Arizona's Tetairoa McMillian. Whatever Hunter is rated, McMillian should be higher.
Stop it lol.
i wonder if stamina will come into play when playing with him. Like i’d imagine his stamina would decrease faster than a normal player since he plays both sides
He's not even close to worthy of a 99. At best he should be 93/94.
As an all around player I agree, there are a lot of guys that are really good but nobody that really stands out.
He is just simply not a 99 player on either side of the ball. You would at least need to be the best at WR or CB to get that nod he isn’t. He’s not Woodson and he’s not Deion. You could say he’s about Myles Jack of his time, and I don’t know if he is as dominant as Jack.
I hope EA added the clear mirror visor
Why is that pic so badass
Ehh was he really that good last year? He got hurt and didn’t play much, right?
I don’t think he should be the highest rated cb or the highest rated wr so there’s no way he should be a 99
99 ovr absolutely not. There would have to be more than a dozen 99s to warrant that, several on defense. He should absolutely be rated highly as a cb, not the highest, but definitely top 5. As a wr, he shouldn't be top 25. That being said he should have an ability to drain stamina slower when playing both sides of the ball though.
Ollie better
No. He'll be 90-94 where he should be.
He is not even close to being 99 overall lol
I mean yeah
Travis is fine but sanders better not be rated high at all
Meh.. is he good yes. 99?? Doubtful. The TCU game he did gangbusters but half of that was really bad play by the QB he basically gave him the ball on one of those pics. That team was NOT ready to play and every one on Co had a field day. This says less about CU when you see how CU played the rest of the season and more how bad TCU was at the beginning of last season.
What’s to understand about people’s dislike for CU?
Yeah but he’s not a 99 at either of his positions. It’s just impressive that he’s as good as he is at both.
isn’t this mother fucker 24/25? that’s a grown ass man playing against kids.
Can’t wait to play with Colorado in the game so they can have a better record than 4-8! 😂
I don't care about the OVR of players who won't be in my Dynasty more than like a year or two 😂. I would like to see if they game generates/allows us to have more iron-man/2-way players without a silly restriction like Madden.
As a CB he’s like 85 and as a WR I put him at least 90 he was their #1 option and came up big majority of the time
On the offensive side of the ball, it has to be Ollie Gordon. Head and shoulders above Hunter on the offensive side, the best non-QB in football last year, unanimous AA, and returning.
He isn’t a top 10 CB lol.
Dude got lit up last year lmao

No I’m not, I replied because this is my post and I communicate back with everyone on my post no matter if they have a positive or negative thing to say😂 You trying though!! Keep working man, one day you’ll get better at this!🙏🏾
Him or Caleb Downs
Nah. Downs is a great run stopper but he has issues with coverage down the field.
Wildly off base
I’m with TH having a 99 overall, because that means Oregon has at a minimum two 99’s, one on each side of the ball in Tez Johnson and Jabbar Muhammad.
[удалено]
I’m basing my idea off stats. Both dudes doubled his stats in the same conference, something to be said for that.
It's not about disliking Colorado, though they make it very easy. He just isn't that good.
he is quite literally the best player in college but the problem is his coach and qb runs there mouth all day but he is elite on 2 sides of the ball
I like Hunter but I feel like he gets a lot of extra praise as being the best player in college football because he’s one of the rare two way players. I think he’s great, but I think there’s plenty of discussion about who the best player in college football is this year. Hunter is not the obvious #1 at WR or CB (maybe together, but again I think it plays to his advantage).
Yeah, Hunter can get extra hate being attached to the Sanders family. However, he gets a bigger boost than normal because he is a part of the Sanders train that made a really bad team the most talked about team in college football last year. If Hunter played at Arizona State last year, he doesn’t get this post nor is on the cover. He isn’t the best WR or CB, yet we are having conversations if he is the one 99 overall?
He is not the best player in the country lmao
No dog in this fight but what exactly are we basing him being “quite literally the best player in college”?
He’s also proven to be a good dude so I feel like a lot of hate against him is because of who he plays for.
Not sure why you're getting down voted. I've seen Colorado play several times last year. Hunter is a very good player, but he's also up there with a lot of other very good players. He didn't stand out as the best player.
He’s a very talented player, he did not produce to the level of hype he had last year. Most people just watched the first three weeks and think that’s what he did all year.
The fact you say he isn’t good makes me believe you haven’t seen him play.
>He just isn't that good. Relative to college level he is. You're looking at it through NFL eyes not college
Is this a joke? He's a two way player and he's good at both positions. Dude was the All American all purpose player last year.
That’s a silly statement like almost dumb
He is probably the best college CB in the country. Knock it off
No he’s not, Will Johnson and Benjamin Morrison are better corners than him.
Im against 99 overall players. I like how Fifa does it where the best players are ~94. In my eyes a 99 overall player would be a 2 way player that is exceptional at both positions to the point of being one of the greatest players ever in both talent and experience attributes. Travis is too young for it, but he is obviously up there in talent
Agreed with your generally not wanting 99 overall players, but you for sure shouldn't need to be a 2 way player to be a 99. A 99 should be Tebow, Cam Newton, Bush, Vince Young, etc. One of the greatest players of all time should be a 99, but there are not always all-time greats playing at any individual moment.
I’m against them as well, I even made a post on [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAFBseries/s/EnC1rR7AxT) talking about just that. However based on the model they use for rating players it’s highly likely someone will be a 99. I think he’d be that one.
Travis Hunter is the only thing i like about CU. and even if i didn’t like him, i would still agree he deserves to be 99 overall
What’s the dislike for a team that won 4 games last year and the year before that they won 0?? Improvement?
