Outside of shooting percentages and tendencies, no numbers should exist. Break all the other categories down into labels such as horrible,below average, average, above average, superior or something along those lines.

Choosing from a set of labels is no different than using a number, except you have dramatically reduced the number of possible values, which would make it harder to differentiate players. I don't see how that would be an improvement.

Is there really a difference between a guy with a 73 handle and a guy with a 71? The only real difference you see between players is when you start dealing with 10-20+ point differentials anyway. I just hate the whole whining over ratings that starts once they are finally released in any sports game. APF simple approach did a great job imo of seperating players without a massive scale imo. When you see experts or scouts breaking down skill sets of players in hoop or football they use terms like great hands or below average post game anyway not numbers. I don't hate the numbers system I just dislike the issues they can raise with people in the forums.

I'm getting off topic in this thread so please respond with a pm if you need to. peace.

APF had a numerical rating system, it was just hardcoded into the game so you couldn't see it.

As far as numerical ratings, they DO have a huge effect, but the range for which these ratings could play out was just too small. 50-99 is a 49 point scale, so it's hard to differentiate an average guards ballhandling(like in the example you posted; around a 74) from a good guard ballhandling(anywhere from 80-85). The differential in points was just too small for it to matter and translate onto the court.

Thankfully, this year we are working with a 74 point scale(25-99), that will allow us roster makers to make even more of a difference between the players.

There should literally be no need of tiers and classes and abilities if the players attributes are done right and accurately reflect the players ability so that the creme of the crop plays different than a role player.

I know in my game most role players will be 60-70, with the very good role players being 70-76. Then, I'll have the all stars and superstars. That gives me a full 23 overall points(should I need it) to differentiate the stars, and, with MY average players being in the 65 area, there will be tons of difference between them and the very few 90's, 85's, or 80's in the league..

It's really, really huge that the ratings are being expanded this year... and I think people are going to enjoy it a lot.
