His roster ratings are decent. QB is overrated, that's about it

C+ for academic prestige?
A for coach prestige? Rocco's great, but an "A"?
A for championship contender? Let's make the playoffs first.
A+ for athletic facilities? It's nice, but it's not like we're Oregon with ps3's in player lockers.
B for Pro Factory?
B for Television Exposure? Because we play our repeats late night on MASN?
B for Tradition? A tradition of what, three years?

I'm going to assume you didn't fiddle with these figures, and they're just the defaults...
I wanted to be able to use LU in the Dynasty mode and have them be competitive.
Ehhh, I played as LU in the previous-gen versions of the game. I created them as a 'cupcake' school, threw them into the MAC, took some lumps a few years... and eventually built a national champion. A few, actually.
And up a hill with 3 feet of snow.. barefoot.. both ways?

Yeah...no FCS team should have "A"s for anything in this game. The rating system is based on FBS schools. So, the "A"s are for your top FBS programs.

LU should have nothing higher than a C+.

C for academic prestige
C+ for coach prestige
D for championship contender
D for athletic facilities
D- for Pro Factory
D+ for Television Exposure
D+ for Tradition
Is our FOC really not worthy of at least a C? I know the stadium seats 12 right now, but I would think the operstions center would give it a boost

The FOC is fantastic. However, the game ratings are based on the FBS schools. Your power conferences have the A & B (a handful of C) ratings in facilities. Believe me, I've been in a few of the ACC locker rooms & wow...

If this game were NCAA FCS Football 10, our ratings would be near the top. But you have to few the ratings from the perspective of the "big boys".

I figured I'd give this a shot...

C for academic prestige
(D if you major in SMGT!...Kidding!)
C+ for coach prestige
I can't talk myself into anything higher here...yet
F for championship contender
Unless this means conference championships. Haven't even been to playoffs!
C for athletic facilities
Three words: F. O. C. And the video board. Plus, a coach can now begin selling the stadium expansion. But, facilities can only hurt recruiting; they don't directly help as much as everyone thinks. (In the real world)
C- for Pro Factory
Every other day it seems, I read on Twitter about another NFL team being "in the building."
B+ for Television Exposure
We have a TV deal, especially now with the DirecTV/Dish connection, which half the FBS teams envy.
F for Tradition
Hard for a university not even 40 yrs old, no trips to playoffs, and only this year with an athletics HOF to have any tradition.
