I had zero experience when i start using it. It was all trial and error for me...getting to see how it functioned, how everything worked and figuring out what the Tab abbreviations were. But that was back in 2012 when the editors first came out. Everything is pretty much self-explanatory now. I would say the learning curve is 6-7. Once you know how to work it, its smooth sailing. Heck, after 7+ years of using these things i learned something new this week still. I had no idea i could group edit by offense or defense or any multiple position groups with the EA DB Editor. So...i encourage anyone who wants to get the most out of this still great game to learn it. Ill try to help in any way i can.
