Among the standout figures is wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who tops the Ohio State list with an overall rating of 99, while quarterback Julian Sayin follows closely with a 94 overall score, placing both among the ten best players in the entire game.
The rating breakdown includes a suite of attributes — speed, strength, agility, awareness and more — for each Buckeye, from veteran names like Luke Montgomery and Kenyatta Jackson Jr. to emerging talents such as Austin Siereveld, offering a comprehensive snapshot of in‑game performance.
EA Sports has hinted that further Big Ten‑centric content will arrive as the launch window approaches, promising deeper insights into conference teams and storylines.
The early‑access windows are designed to reward the most eager fans, letting them experiment with the new rosters before the official launch, while the full rating list serves as a teaser for the game’s depth and realism.
