Yeah, I finally got around to doing those. Doing the kickers and punters was kind of tedious because I had no idea which players to start or end with-I guess I've never even really glanced at their ratings before. I've included all 28 kickers and punters. I only used the AKB for punters as a tiebreaker when the KA was equal. As for the kickers I knew Nick Lowery was good back in the day but I had no idea he was such a beast on the game. I started playing a season now with KC and you're pretty much in FG range around your own 40 yard line. Gotta love those 75 yard FG's. On the other hand man is Mike Lansford of the Rams awful. Worst in both KA and AKB by far. K Ranks.xls P Ranks.xls

Okoye is one of the most overrated players in the game in my opinion. His max speed is only average and he has hands of stone. Throwing screens or dump-offs to rb's can be very important to a successful passing game but that's not even really an option with Okoye unless he's in excellent. I can understand how people love his massive HP, but to me he's just a slightly souped up version of Reggie Cobb or Brad Muster. QB Eagles however is effing unstoppable.

Yeah, now that I look at it again Humphery is a little underrated but I think guys like McDaniels and Odomes' higher MS and HP help make up for the low INT. Overall it seemed like after the first 10 or so 'studs' at each position there was a big dropoff and a whole bunch of players that were more or less equal in the 10-30 range.

I know quickness supposedly doesn't do anything so I only used it as a tiebreaker if all the other attributes are equal. For the other ratings I tried to put more weight on the attributes that matter the most for that particular position. Some of the rankings really come down to a judgment call as to what type of player you like using best. Doing these rankings was kind of interesting in that it made me aware of a lot of really good players I had never heard of or ever used before. I had no idea Jacob Green is arguably the second best DE in the game.

This is for anyone who is into playing fantasy/drafted teams with the original nes rom or is just interested in an overall ranking of all the players by position. Every year I play in a fantasy draft league using the original rom rosters and the tsbtool to edit the rosters and we got sick of having to guess on who to draft when so I made these ff-style cheat sheets in excel to help with drafting. I ranked each position by the relevant attributes-some of these rankings are debatable but its pretty accurate overall. The top 40 WR's and RB's are listed The top 30 for QB,O-Line,S,CB,OLB,ILB,DE The top 15 for TE I didn't do any ranks for NT or K/P The gold boxes are the best rating in the game at that attribute. Below is a sample of the CB ranks-I'll attach the actual excel files for people to download. Thought some people on here would have use for them. CB Ranks.xls DE Ranks.xls

This rom seems to unfortunately suffer from the same sim data problems as jer's rom seeing as you started with that rom. Notice the cpu stats as you play a season- WR2's and TE's have 0 catches and RB1's have ridiculously high receiving stats-like 90 catches for 2000 yds by seasons end. I'm not sure how to fix this-I tried playing around with individual player sim ratings with the tool, but nothing seemed to change. Whatever is causing this is ruining two otherwise great roms-I especially love the way the juice factor plays into this one. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

About that sim data...I'm not exactly sure how to adjust the sim data, but the way the cpu stats sim on this rom is all messed up. Notice at the end of the year all WR2's and TE's have 0 catches, and the RB1's have ridiculous receiving stats-average is something like 90 catches for 2000 yds. I tried playing around with the sim data ratings with the tool, but the stats don't seem to change. Otherwise the rom is great, good player ratings and overall play feel.
