2009 Test Sim

The results are in and I need to look at this a bit closer (daughter confiscated the TV again...) but I wonder if NCAA uses the same QB rating formula as the real NCAA?

I thought the numbers looked a bit better in 2009. I saw no Tebow-esque or 33-1 Boeckman season. USC's Sanchez was #1 in Efficiency at 185. He had 34 TDs and 7 picks. To me, that's very reasonable - and by the way that is all I am asking from NCAA 2009 as far as stats go: just keep it within reason and I'm good.

I'm curious as to why his rating is 185 in the game because a 34-7 season is not too crazy.

Tim Tebow in 2007 at Florida had a 32 TD 6 INT season that saw him complete 67% of his passes for over 9 yards per att. His rating was 172. So how does Sanchez net the 185? I have no idea how the game or the NCAA gets that number, but maybe that's part of the problem?

Now, look, there is NO excuse for Todd Boeckman having a 33 TD 1 INT season. I'm not saying this is all hunky dory, but the 2009 numbers did look a bit better as far as QBs go.

There were 65 QBs in 2009 with a rating of 160 or higher. In 2007 (real life) there were three. But I really question if these formulas are identical.

Rushing numbers. 36 backs had over 1,000 yards in the 2009 test sim.

2007 real life: 57.

Hmm.

More later..after Spongebob.
