I have roughly compiled a data analysis of the current rosters and here are the results I have determined. This is not supposed to be perfect in anyway, especially since I developed the formula on the fly while wasting time during one of my classes

The numbers next to the team represent the score out of 100 that the team recieved

New Jersey Hood - 90.07
Saskatoon Spitfires - 87.69
Thunder Bay Bloodhounds - 87.50
Prince George Bulls - 85.57
AU Tigers - 85.27
Moose Jaw Blazers - 77.42
YellowKnife Bandits - 76.38
Hill City Heat - 74.70
Canadian Bacan - 72.43
West Coast Trojans - 71.49
Alberta Express - 64.96
Nova Scotia Curlers - 58.06
Chilliwack Thrashers - 48.55
Montreal Rush - 43.72
Ontario Wildcats - 27.98
The Anti-Mod Squad - 27.04


These numbers were attained by taking each team by their current roster and breaking them into the following categories:

Starting Offensive Line - 25
Starting Offensive Skill - 20
Starting Defensive Line - 25
Starting Defensive Skill - 15
# Depth * Average Depth Level - 15

Each category was normalized to 1 by the max value that a team had in that category and then multiplied by the value next to the category to get a score out of 100.

The google spreadsheet that I performed the calculations on is http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pC4pJGYIlQkm6Ft8beBGWdQ

One other note, for determining the average starting levels I included a 0 if they did not have a player for that position currently. Also I went with the assumption of a standard 4-3 defense. Sorry if your score did not reflect you running a 3-4.

You know it!

And by the way, if my explanation wasn't clear I can try and rewrite it to explain it more. I was rushing out the door to work.

It looks like you forgot to include in your explanation (+1 for Saskatoon just to get them ahead of Thunder Bay).....

Don't worry Bevo, you can just pick them to beat us in the playoffs. That should just about even things up

Yeah Bulls! We're moving up!

And that doesn't even include or new LB.

Looks like gameplanning will be huge this year boys!

Let's bring it. I look forward to the season getting underway.

I don't really have to time to spend going through each team and trying to spy who boosted. That would take the full 1 to 1.5 hours for each conference that I already put into it. (Not including developing the initial spreadsheet)

Just consider it a Pre-boosting "How Well Did Each Team Recruit" Yardstick.

Edit: and if I did it now then everyone else would come back and ask to see the new numbers once they boosted... it would be a never ending cycle.

Easy method: assume EVERYONE boosted. The numbers will stay relatively consistent.

Until the games come these are just relative numbers anyway. No different than the matchup screens. Actually possibly worse since these ONLY account for levels and depth. Not attributes, not SA's, not equipment. Levels.
