Deltoidius Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm curious to why I can never seem to develop players at some positions, namely WR and CB. Taking [URL="http://plaza.ufl.edu/ufmike22/jameswilson.jpg"]James Wilson[/URL] a RS Sr for example. To me, he looks completely developed yet he is a 5/7 on a 10 pt scale. How is he not a 7/7 or 6/6 or whatever he is destined to be? Should I be training his strength and conditioning only once his football skills peak?

Rockpsl76 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Its hard to read that screen shot, but does that say he weighs 102 lbs? If so, I'm surprised he is even 5/7... I would have expected 1/7, I don't think you could even be a kicker at 102 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerSimpson98 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Instincts and aggressiveness are pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, those are the "intangibles" so they can't be developed and therefore should have no bearing on the potential rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is his coach developing RBs. Could you post some individual game stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 How good are your scouts? if a guy is maxed out in reality, your scout's view (if he's not great) may still be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltoidius Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 [URL="http://plaza.ufl.edu/ufmike22/DanielRoberts.jpg"]same deal with this guy, only my DB scouting is blue.[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpsl76 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Besides, the player editor doesn't use the scouts skills. It shows the actually rating of the player. Maybe (even though he's already a Senior) the game expected him to develop better athletic ratings (like strength) over his career...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltoidius Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 any clarification on what's up with players who develop like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hansen Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'll give it a shot... Since the display is from the player editor...all numbers are accurate. It looks like over his career he has developed his key postional skills of hands, route running and running to a pretty good level (70's). However, his positional athletic skills are pretty low...(I have a tough time reading the numbers from your post of his profile)... Speed-30 Acceleration-49 Instincts-42 Looks like his work ethic has carried thru okay for postional skills over his career, but probably was a below average athlete coming in and athletic abilities don't develop nearly to the degree postional skills do over a career. Maybe think Corvette body...with a 6 cylinder engine under the hood. PS-here are examples of what some of my seniors show: 83/90...52/58...71/75...50/66...67/78...71/76...67/78...54/64...68/76...75/83...45/49...77/87. PS2-try changing the ratings scale to 1-100 and then look at the player editor again...could be a rounding up/down issue for such a large difference between C and P.

Arlie Rahn Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I would say it's a combo of rounding error and the editor having a direct view. He looks pretty close to maxed out, but the 10-point rating scale has a rounding factor. You could change it to a 100-point scale and see and I'm guessing he'd be closer to max. He could also still have some development potential in strength, accel and/or agility. Certain players don't always easily reach their potential for athletic skills.
