Question for you rev. Are there hard caps on player's level of improvement, or is it all a matter of chance?


Great question! At first, I thought I would limit it. "A player can only achieve a 15 rating." But the first player to challenge that was an offensive lineman. So I decided....nah, we'll let him go. The highest a player could possibly achieve is an 18, but that's highly unlikely. We have a player in the league that is a 17. If a QB ever reaches that high, I might have to reconsider. But for the time being, I've set no cap beyond what is mathmatically possible.

The only "cap", so to speak, on player improvement is set by their age. Once a player reaches a certain age, I stop drawing the rook cards for improvement. They are considered "at their peak". That peak period lasts several years, then I start drawing for their decline.
