I've got a feeling that this game will end up better than Live '10 (still don't expect it to wow me as much as College Hoops 2k8 did though)

I personally think EA would benefit if they simply had a college scout to help them rate atleast the top 50-100 players in the country.
I know it's impossible for them to actually know the tendencies of every college player and that's why you see so many players in NCAA rated the same every year. I had a chance to see how they do it and it's just impossible to have accurate ratings the way it was done IMO.
They should hire someone and give them feedback of the top players and not just the top teams because that way could atleast solve the problem somewhat by having All-American and All-Conference players to stand out more than avg kids.
I wouldn't mind them also going to feature that includes IMPACT Players 1-2 on each team kinda like NCAA Football.
Expand the ratings to let us seperate the elite players for ourselves if need be. But the current system IMO isn't very good for their player ratings because it doesn't seperate a SG from bigger program as opposed to a smaller program.
And please get rid of VITALE
