3 1/2 Star Player Suspended Opening Day, Waived by AI

[FoosballWizard]

A 3 1/2 star player was waived after being suspended for an opening day brawl!

He was at a position of need so I picked him up.

Seems like 3 1/2 stars is halfway decent, is there some sort of morale problem with a guy like that on the AI team to cause them to release him? It says he "likes to play cards with the guys in the clubhouse" or something in his description.

Look at his BNN player card, that will tell you his morale attributes. He could have just been a redundant player on the team that waived him, or your scout could have him overvalued.

That's a catch-phrase for low work ethic, I believe. As Zukes said, you can check his BNN page to confirm it.

If so, the AI has a thing against low work ethic players (as should you) because, even though they may have 3 1/2 star potential,* they often don't live up to it (that is, develop into good players).

* You did not say whether the stars were current rating or potential. I am assuming the latter.

Yep, current rating!

I got a new and better scouting director and now he's correctly listed at two stars, which I think one of the posters brought up.
