Just saw something REALLY awesome in dynasty!

Not exactly one level per year, but roughly close enough.

My last OC was maxed out @ lvl 27, but instead of spending his points I just had 7 unused points for a couple of years.

That's what I think I'm going to do. One skill point per year coached, at 15 seasons I'll go one above that (16 years, 17 points,) and at 25 seasons two above. God I'm so excited to be handcuffed in recruiting some more. And I mean that, lol.

Thank you guys so much. Totally forgot you can leave points sitting in the barrel.

jello,

On your injury ratings, for your incoming freshman. Do you lower it a percentage, a set number (-30 for all,) or all down to 40 (example?)

Also, are you taking the Awareness increase for Quarterbacks after the season (before Player Training) or after Player Training?

I used the injury ratings that someone in the injury thread used and just adjusted them to my likes (IE. I think I subtract less from my QBs than he did because I'm a spread option guy and my QBs get hurt a lot anyway). I use these adjustments:
Quarterbacks (-10)
HBs (-15)
WRs(-10)
Offensive line (-70)
All other offensive players (-20)
Defense: all players (-40)

I just changed my defense to -40 from -35 before. I saw a few DL injuries, but not many. I've seen a few more LB injuries including a couple that were more than for the game. I've had a bunch of corners hurt, so much so that I may end up w/ something like -45/50 for my front 7 and -35 for my back 4.

I keep 4 active HBs and usually 1 RSing guy. Just last season I had 2 HBs miss 4-8 weeks (including my #1 guy who had 1,000+ yard season his 1st 3) and I lost another guy for a quarter while they were both out.

WRs used to lose more, but I lost entirely too many of them so I backed it up to -10.

I've still only seen a few OL injuries and none for more than the game, but I can't go much lower than -70 (some guys are in single digits w/ that). Still, a few is MUCH better than 0 which is what I saw before making adjustments.

For my QB AWR I just remove what they get for in season progression.
IE:
Starting AWR: 58
End of Season AWR: 70
End of Season adjust back down to 58.
Offseason AWR +5 -> 63
Start new season AWR: 63

This only lasts until they hit 70 AWR, then I edit them back to 70 like I do for all of my players.

Thank you.

With your players all at 70 max for AWR, how does it play? Making human type errors and what not? Or does it just level the playing field more than anything?
