Mentor Questions

Do mentors have any type of effect when on the inactive roster? Half of the mentors are so bad that I resign them to the league mnimum and inactivate them for the year.

Also, do mentors have any effect on players who are inactive themselves?

I have yet to take any research into this subject.

Good question. Initially I would think that it would not matter, but can't say for sure. But I am running into the same problem, with the exception of a few, who can contribute.

I signed Todd Collins to mentor my rookie QB. Collins was so terrible that I certainly couldn't keep him on my active roster, but by the end of the season my rookie's ratings were much higher than at the beginning of the season.

So I would say that it seems they have some effect even if they're inactive...

Well, I looked at 3 young wide receivers and 2 qbs. One WR started, one was a backup, one was inactive. One QB was the 3rd string for four games, and the other was inactive. The QBs had an active mentor, WR inactive mentor.

Code:

First Week - Quarterbacks - Active Mentor

Winters, Robert  4/38 (Inactive Rookie)

Koester, Bryan   7/39 (Inactive Rookie)



End of Season - Quarterbacks - Active Mentor

Winters, Robert  4/38 (0 Games Active All Season)

Koester, Bryan   8/39 (4 Games Active All Season) +1 Current



---



First Week - Wideouts - Inactive Mentor

Seico, Benji    59/70 (Starting SE 3 year pro)

Moss, Leon      23/34 (Inactive Rookie)

Allen, Mack     29/42 (Backup SE Rookie)



First Week - Wideouts - Inactive Mentor

Seico, Benji    66/70 (13 Games Active All Season- 13 starts) +7 Current

Moss, Leon      23/34 (3 Games Active All Season - 1 start)

Allen, Mack     32/42 (15 Games Active All Season - 4 starts) +3 Current

It does not appear having the mentor inactive or active makes a difference, but player development is hinged if the player is inactive. I should have tried an active mentor for receievers, as maybe their progression (or lack thereof) was just natural as the mentor was inactive.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find "mentors" in FOF2004 at all, not in the game or in the help file.

Can anyone point me to where this feature is explained?

Thanks!

There's a link to a discussion about it in the ALL-INCLUSIVE thread at the top of the board.

In the player view window, it's located on the left side amongst the info like loyalty, intelligence, etc.
