Player potential ratings

Smetana · 09-10-2013, 09:29 AM

Jeff, if you wouldn't mind, please explain a bit about the player potential ratings on the editing screen (1-1000), and how they correlate to the potentials on the rating screen (1-10).

Do the mental attributes contribute to overall rating and potential (1-10)? How about the hidden attributes?

Is a skater's potential an averaging of the offensive and defensive potential, or perhaps is a weighted formula involved, depending on position?

Any light you can shed on this topic is much appreciated!

Very interesting aspect, I support your question

Good questions - and just wondering if you've had a read of these - http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ion-index.html

Don't think it answers all your questions, but might shed some light on them.

I want to know if the game itself can generate players that can go over 20 in a attribute. So say in 2022 their could be a player that is going to be the next Gretzky or something like that. I have simmed into the late 2020's and early 2030's and i haven't seen a player come out like that. Not that i would expect it to happen often, but maybe once every like 20 or so years.

I've been wondering the same. If we could get an answer from Jeff, that'd be great.

Bumping this thread, with additional questions for Jeff regarding the player editor.

We could really use the ability to edit injuries. Joni Pitkanen is out for the year, but we can't make that change in the database.

Also, it would be nice to be able to edit contract extensions in the editor.

Still waiting for an answer.....

Aye, would be great to get some dev feedback on these items.

I'm holding off on doing too much work with rosters until I see what the next few weeks hold. I'd like to have a release by NHL opening night.
