Creating a tendency for Risky Play

NolaSola7 · 01-04-2015, 09:25 AM

I have a question...

Basing it off these explanations from this post:

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ttributes.html

How would I make a otherwise talented player have a tendency to play "risky"

That is taking chances?

Aggression? Doesn't seem to be the case, this is more penalty related.

Consistency? I don't think so much?

Teamplayer? Maybe has an influence in the matter, but let's say that this "risky" player is still good at playing a team game without the puck ... it is with the puck he is risky

Pass/Shoot tendency? One could think that the player who is risky, may be a hog, but this doesn't necessarily go into the risk taking in mind

Offensive Read? I think this could be it, but the linked post mentions when taking shots..... When I think risky, I think mostly .. risky passing perhaps (or as well) ... so if this rating is strictly shot related, I don't think it has the exact influence I have in mind

I suppose all of them could go in to it, but then we are left with a poor player if we give the player low ratings on the ratings mentioned above.....

And this is not the interest (to make a poor player), but just to make a risky player...

any suggestions? thoughts? ideas? assistance?

Thanks!

*Maybe I should propose a new rating : "Player Control" .. A sort of play-by-play consistency rating instead of a game-by-game consistency

Offensive Read, Puckhandling, and Teamplayer (roughly in that order) would be the best places to reflect a tendency to take risks - lower numbers there would mean the player makes more bad decisions offensively.
