The Knicks have fallen on hard times. After a narrow 87-86 defeat of the Raptors to start 1-0, the Knicks have dropped 3 straight, and to make matters worse Amar'e is out 2-4 weeks w/ a strained achilles. Scoring has been hardpressed,
and the CPU Dantoni is running out lineups w/ Gallo playing Center when Ronny Turiaf rests on the bench.
I scored a career high 14pts, but did so in a loss to Orlando.
I also had the worst game of my early career coming in game2 of the season @ Boston, and it was a
KEY GAME where I wound up scoring a D- Teammate Grade and netting a -473 skill pts which doubled to -946.
How does the game account for this? I noticed that in my next game, I entered w/ a skill pt balance of -946, and it appears that the game dropped my ratings in certain skills. My medium jumper which is usually an 85 was dropped down to a 79.
Does it drop that -946 skill points from the attribute where you've invested at least that many pts in? Or does it deduct a certain % of pts from a variety of attributes that I've increased?
Whatever the case, after I finished the game where I entered w/ negative skill pt balance, my skill pt balance after that game reflected the skill pts that I earned in my last game, and did not deduct from my negative balance.
I thought this was rather dumb. I was actually hoping that if I had a -946 and earned only 138 skill pts. Then I should now have a -808 skill pt balance, and have to earn my way back to a positive skill pt balance. IMO that would better reflect the stagnate development cycles that players go through.
Anybody else encounter this in their MyPlayer careers?
