5/5 Development update

Ryan W. · 05-05-2003, 09:03 AM

Every Monday, I will try to write up a development update on what is happening on PowerPlay Hockey.

Most of my work was done fiddling with spreadsheets, trying to get the ratings I want to use to look right. I think I finally have something, but I want to try it out first before I show them here. But it is looking encouraging.

Basically, the ratings will look and act a lot like OOTP's do. Every player will be given, for the most part, a numeric current rating and a Poor/Fair/Average/Good/Excellent potential rating. Exceptions will be things like defense and endurance, which will use the P/F/A/G/E scale for both.

My work this week will mostly be trying to integrate these ratings into the current game engine I have developed. Most of it will be with the way I store things and not with the game engine itself, so I should be able to do this fairly quickly.

Please keep the suggestions coming! I have a lot of ideas in my head but also look forward to hearing your suggestions.
