good to see you here krispy.

quik has a well motivated answer above.

What the help file says is 'They are rated for play calling, which is valuable only for offensive and defensive coordinators.'

So this is why it is important -- we are told so in the manual hehe

i went through the trouble of testing this in SP. i did limited tests -- took the worse play caller i could get and simmed the same season over and over. did the same with the best play caller i could find.

there were noticeable differences in performance with the stud play caller, both on offense and defense. this was enough to convince me to not ignore the play calling bar (or any other info from the manual). i didn't go as far as quantifying the effect, but i'd guess it has a similar effect on win % as motivation for head coach (i.e. a lot)
