The skill system doesn't have to be that extreme.

In baseball, if an outfielder has a good arm, it is a "+" arm. A player with a Carl Furillo type arm would be a "++" arm.

Mookie Wilson would have a "-" arm.

There are only four grades. Minus, no grade, plus, and plus plus.

All are in relation to the other players, and are just that, an evaluation.

But, they tell you a lot about the player.

A baseball player with plus plus speed, batting eye, plus power, average hitting, and average fielding? Rickey Henderson.

A player with plus plus in every category? Willie Mays.

This hockey game can be like this as well. Who really knows if a skater is 72 or a 74? Are these numbers even meaningful?
