Will we see the same ratings scales?

BobBob · 11-21-2005, 12:33 PM

The samples show only the 1-20 ratings scale. Just wanted to see if we'd still be able to adjust those to what we like (ie 2-8, 1-10 et al)

Also, any possibility we'll see the 20-80 scale used by most the big league teams? (With an 80 being almost never rewarded)

It's one of these options:
None
1-5
2-8
1-10
1-20
20-80
1-100

Are there also going to be any hidden ratings like players have in the Football Manager series of games?

GREAT! I especially love seeing the 20-80 option!

What are the advantages of the various scales here?

Markus, does the 20-80 scale go by 5's? (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, etc.)

The 20-80 scale is the one most used by big league teams. It goes up by 5s with 80 being pretty much never rewarded.

I like it because I can buy Lindey's Scouting report, which uses this scale in evaluating all big league players, so I get pretty accurate info for my leagues. Also, it just seems cool to use the same numbers an actual GM would see.

The 2-8 scale is also used in real life, but in the game 8s are way to easily rewarded. An 8 should be the equivelent of an 97-100, and a 2 should cover much more territory.
