i've played with these features on and off, sure. i wasn't asking the question about it, though, so i don't see why i would do the tests. i do have a pretty good idea of baseline. it's a bit difficult to impart experience, though.. much easier just to sim a couple seasons and experiement a bit onthe side when bored. fleshing things out is easy to do.
overall it's going to be roughly the same success/fail rate on development, but how it gets there takes a bit more into consideration at each step- but it can't make it veer too far just by common sense. the leagues simply aren't that much different when you turn these things on or off.
i think you are reading this wrong, anyway... the baseline is the key to understanding it. without it you(pl.) simply stab wildly at the air in futility.
the only thing i purport is that it's not a huge effect, and what i've seen in the forums (not just this thread) is that many come to the same conclusion just in different words. no one's picking the lowly rated, yet, high work ethic guy in round 1-2 when there are other better rated players available, even if they have lower work ethics. it's somethign you only apply as a factor when the 2 players are of the same calss. a secondary factor to consider after you've used other more important factors to make a small enough list that work ethic becomes important in the decision.
