Scramble frequency rating?

[Scruff]

In the player creation file help, it says that scramble ratings are not on the 'logarithmic curve' the other ratings are on.

I assume the scale is still 1-9. So does this mean that a '5' is a QB that scrambles at the league average rate? A "9" would be Randall Cunningham 1990 (118 rushes, 465 passes) and a "1" would be Dan Fouts 1986 (4 rushes, 430 passes), I assume. But is the typical QB who ran 40 times on 450 passes a '2' or a '5'?

I asked the question like this to support:

For scramble frequency - what type of scale should this be? If a QB has say 1 rush for every 10 passes - is that a 3 or a 5 or 10? Or something else? What should Randall Cunningham 1990 (118 rushes 465passes) be vs. Dan Fouts 1986 (4 rushes 430 passes), for example?Thanks for any help . . . all the help file says is that it's not assigned on a logarithmic scale . . . but it doesn't explain what the scale should be! Is it 1-9, 1-99, 1-999? If it's 1-9, is 5 average, or is it like the overall ratings where 2 is 'good'? Thanks for any info you can provide.

And this was the response I got:

I would just use trial and error - every rating is used differently in thegame, and we prefer not to talk specifically about how to do this. The Xfactor is always going to make players perform differently (which isappropriate given there's only a 16-game schedule against varying opponents)each time you import a file.

Which doesn't really help at all.

the scale is 1-9. Assuming you are not using the x-factor, if you give a guy a 9, his rating will be maxed or nearly maxed out. If you give him a 1, he'll have little or no rating. Using the x-factor can exaggerate this one way or the other.

My advice would be to open the csv of the official player file and look at the ratings of various quarterbacks to get a feel for the scale. Sort by A ascending and AE descending. Vick and Vince Young are on top at 9, followed by guys like Culpepper, McNair, McNabb at 8. Eli Manning, Mark Bulger, and various others are 1.

You might also look at it this way: use 5 as a baseline average, 4 and 6 as average but a tad more or less athletic. 3 and 7 are below and above average. 1-2 and 8-9 are on the extremes.

Thanks a ton for the info - I didn't even realize the players.csv file was included - I thought the current player ratings were just built into the game. That's a great help!
