Talent Change Randomness ratings

Leefoo · 03-29-2014, 08:43 AM

This was brought up in another thread.

I did a search in the Manual and found nothing on it???

I just have one quick question, because I wasn't quite clear....

It is set at 100 by default.

What does setting it at, say '175' do?
What does setting it at, say '50' do?

Thanks!

Above 100 is an increase, below a decrease.

So if you set it to 175 there is much more chance of random talent changes occurring.

At 50 there's less chance.

Setting it to 175 will increase the chances players gain stat boosts or drops by 75% while setting it to 50 will give you half as many stat changes.

What it will not do as claimed in that thread is alter the development curve. It doesn't affect stats. The effect on on talent may eventually show up in stat output, but that is not direct.

So....does this mean that there's more of a chance that my 20/75 pitcher will drop and more of a chance that my 20/20 will get better?

If so, I will probably leave it at 100.

Yes and no. It's completely random so the players may not ever be affected at all and even when it does there is no way to predict which way, positive or negative, the drop will be.

Another thing to remember is you may not even notice the change in stats depending on how you're viewing the ratings. For most skill ratings the game works on a 1-250 scale I believe, so if you view the ratings 1-5 for instance you won't notice the change unless the change pushes the 1-250 scale into the range it would increase the 1-5 by a rating point.

It's all about predictability, or when compared to RL, about luck. Try not to think about your 20/75 or 20/20 pitcher. Think about all players. All 20/75 players have a higher chance of developing than all 20/20 players. TCR reduces predictability or adds luck to the process of development and aging.

THANKS to all...I think I will keep it at 100.

Late but I'll say its more of a chance that the 20/20 guy will get better rather than the 20/75 guy getting worst.

That have been my experience with the extreme setting of 200.

Now there are way more 1st round bust than with the default 100 but the most successful players still come from the 1st round and the higher end of the draft (if that makes sense) the talent is just more spread out meaning you will see all-star players that were drafted in the low end of the draft

but it wont be a rare case like it is on default, it will be common as it is in RL.
