Affinities and player ability levels

[Kodos]

Do affinities for good players help you more than affinities for scrubs, since good players see the field more often? Or is it more of an overall team boost thing where it doesn't matter who has the affinities?

Pretty sure it's a boost by position group, even if the guys aren't playing. Checking help file...

Team chemistry is fairly simple in nature. The team is broken into five leadership groups (backfield, receivers, offensive line, defensive front and secondary). Each group has a leader, which can be any player on the roster. Every other player in the group may have a conflict or affinity with that leader. Conflicts or affinities can affect the performance of every player in that group. Quarterbacks may have conflicts or affinities with all of the other leaders on the team..

I don't understand you guys who actually read the help files. ;)

Help file is broken in W7 if I remember correctly.Yup. The FAQ at Solecismic.com has a link to a Windows help upgrade that converts old help files to modern help files.
Fwiw, I just read it, I haven't tried it yet.

I was pondering a related question. Do QB conflicts with leaders affect the whole QB position then?

Interesting. So, say for my defensive front, if my leader is a polarizing figure - with 2 players expressing strong conflict and 2 players having an exceptional and mild affinity, respectively - does this is some way kind of balance out - since the effects (affects?) are applied to the whole group - not individuals?
Any thoughts?

bump i just cut 2 players for this same reason, anyone have thoughts? or does it matter on the strength of the affinity? ie 1 exceptional affinity cancels out 2 mild conflicts ect

also does having more players with affinities help more

looks like i found my own answer assuming this is still true from 2004
