With the release of NCAA FB 12 only about 6 weeks away, what are your thoughts on the Bama roster and depth chart? We don't have an official depth chart available. So....although we know where some players will be, other roster spots are a little fuzzy at this time. Will Barrett Jones move to LT or will Cyrus Kouandjio come in and start as a true freshman? If Jones is at LT, who takes his spot at guard? Where will you play Brent Calloway? RB or LB?
Anyway, I know it's only a video game and I don't expect to have rosters 100% accurate. Just wondering how you guys might tweek things when the game comes out.

I'd expect our depth chart in the game (where questions will be at least) to look like this:

QB: AJ/ P. Sims/ Ely (although we know the QB battle is still going on, EA doesn't have that luxury of last minute roster changes)
RB: TR/ Lacy/ Hart
LT: Cyrus K (with EA notorious for roster problems, I think they might have Douglas still on it, although I hope they fixed it if they did have him there b/c that'd just be a cruel reminder to all of our players and his family about the loss). Barrett would be left at RG.
DE: Damion Square and Stinson

Ok. Let's just throw some numbers around for potential starters.
Based on 1-back set. And remember, the game doesn't have H-back, Jack LB, WLB, etc.

QB - McCarron (84)
RB - Richardson (98)
WR - Maze (92) maybe Carter could get a rating of 92 as well????
WR - Hanks (88)
TE - Williams (86)
TE - Smelley (82)
LT - Jones (95)
LG - Warmack (88)
C - Vlachos (94)
RG - Steen (84)
RT - Fluker (90)

DE - Square (90)
DT - Chapman (92)
DE - Stinson (84)
OLB - Harris (90)
MLB - Johnson (90) or Mosley (90)
MLB - Hightower (98)
OLB - Upshaw (96)
CB - Kirkpatrick (92)
CB - Milliner (90)
FS - Lester (92)
SS - Barron (96)

K - Foster (82)
P - Mandell (84)

Well apparently Alabama's rating this year is A+ overall (A off, A+ def), so I think you might actually be underestimating how highly some of our guys will be rated. The one thing I hope EA gives us this year though is speed at the skill positions. Even last year with Julio and Mark (excuse me, WR #8 and RB #22) I felt that I would get caught from behind too often because of their low speed ratings. I want to see some of our burners get respect, especially Dee Hart, DeAndrew White, and some of the other young receivers.

I think they'll go higher with AJ. I think both he and Sims will be 87/86. I doubt Duron Carter gets highly rated if he's even in the game. We have a LOT of RS So and RS Fr who will probably fill the depth chart after Hanks, Maze, and Gibson. The rest look like realistic numbers, but I think we'll get higher value b/c our team will be highly ranked and it is a video game where the editors/ programmers don't follow each team as closely as the fans.

I gennerally tweak the rosters. I'll add/create players that didn't make the original roster from EA. So Duron Carter will be on MY roster. Last year EA had some Bama players rated way too high on defense. I try to give each player what I think is fair and deserving. Not that I'm 100% accurate...but I try to be fair. I also tweak rosters from other teams as well.

I'm wondering if the changes they made in the Zone coverage will be as advertized. I agree with bamafan37, unless your wide open or just run away from the defender it seems like someone always runs them down.

Head over to the forums at Operation Sports | Madden NFL 12 | NCAA Football 12 | NBA 2K12 | MLB 11 The Show. They have a really great community that gets together every year and names all the rosters that you can download from the file share. They typically have one REALLY dedicated guy for xbox and playstation that will tweak the rosters a few times during the year based on actual on-field performance. They tend to do a great job with accurate ratings and even adding equipment, swapping positions, etc. I think this year they'll also be including all the coaches names on that roster file since they are included with those edits. Hope this helps a bit. I've used their rosters for the past couple years and never been disappointed. Only drawback is that once you start a dynasty with the rosters you can't upload a new one, so if a newer, more accurate one comes out that you would want to use, your only option really is to redraft the dynasty.

Yeah I frequent operation sports and I get roster info from them. I'll download a roster then make the tweaks I want.

Anyone keeping '11? I dont plan on buying the new game. I've heard they changed the tackling and messed with the game play again and I was finally happy with '11 (PS3 version) after they added the gang-tackling and the other stuff. I'm sticking with '11 and going to continue to play it.

The only reason I would want to buy is the new conference changes, but playing with Bama it wouldnt really affect me.

Maybe. I will download a named roster and then I'll make the changes/tweaks that I want. I will pay more attention to detail to the Bama roster. But I will also do a little work with the other SEC rosters. Once I have them set like I want them, I will upload them to my EA locker for anyone to download. Then of course you can make tweaks of your own once you have them.

I think Harris and Kirkpatrick will be higher than a 90 and 92. Suprisingly enough Hightower was underrated last yr for the LB corps. He wasn't even starting in certain formations

As for Carter, he might not even be in the game, but I think he would be around 86
