Player Improvements from Team Meetings?

[Ferrari997]

Hey everyone, hope you're all enjoying the game. A weird thing happened to me when I called a team meeting. I was on a 3 game losing streak, in year 2 of my franchise with the Cubs. I decided to call a team meeting just for the hell of it. I chose the one that said "Joke around with the team" or whatever.

After calling the team meeting, a few players ratings jumped up:

Adam Calloway (Prospect): At the team meeting results page, I checked out his player card, he jumped from a 76 to an 84. HOWEVER, after going back to the manage tab and looking at my rosters, he went back down to a 79. Weird, I don't know what the 84 was all about. Maybe he was on a high after the team meeting and felt like a superstar? lol

Derrek Lee (81 ovr going into the team meeting) At the team meeting results screen, his player card showed an 88 rating. But again, after going back to viewing the rosters, his rating was an 82. (The reason why he was 81 in the first place was a huge dropoff in the offseason prior to the season)

A couple of other players exhibited the same scenarios but these were the most extreme.

1. Has this happened to anyone else?
2. Is this how you are supposed to go about improving player ratings?

I really hope they don't go up every time I call a team meeting. That would be WAY too easy and almost cheap. I was just calling a team meeting for the hell of it and maybe boost morale even though it wasn't that low in the first place.

Heck, before I read your post I didn't know I had the option.

My team could sure use one, so I'll try it today and let you know what happens to the ratings.

I think the boost in rating can be seen in the team pulse page, but the rosters do not reflect this.

Interesting I had no idea I could call a team meeting.

I remember doing this last year, but couldn't find it this year.

Where are team meetings located?

Manage tab then team pulse, and the option is at the bottom of the screen

Yeah, just go to team pulse. Then hit start. It gives you a ton of options. I know for sure the Bowling and the 2k8 tourney gives your plus stats. Then at the team pulse area, you can see what kind of gain it gave.
