Breakdown of Player Ratings...

[SunDancer]

Just wondering, what would you want in terms of football ratings for players. What would they determine?

You mean, if one was to design a new game from scratch?

[SunDancer]

[SunDancer]

Is their a site that would explains about players and what kind of skills they have?

Like for example, a player has athletic ability-which makes him better able to....

EDIT: Ugh, I love when I post under the wrong topic. Sorry.

When I played football it was "Agile, Mobile, Hostile."

• Drop quickness and balance
• Set up quickness and positioning
• Release quickness
• Accuracy: short, medium and long-direction, positioning, velocity and catchability of the ball.
• Judgement and decision making
• Field Vision: quick,decisive and accurate reads. Going through progressive read options corectly.
• Poise: leadership skills, handling pressure and moving the team.
• Ball handling: selling the play action fake, smooth effort with eyes positioned downfield.
• Timing: throwing on rhythm and to pre-determined spots on time.
• Delivery: quickness and positioning of release.
• Follow through: does he finish across his body?
• Avoiding the rush: making defenders miss in the pocket.
• Escape: moving the pocket effectively to avoid pressure.
• Scrambling: ability to run and pick up positive yardage.
• Rollout passing to the right and left: can he throw accurately and with velocity without having to set his feet. Does he have arm and hip flexability to throw the ball across his body if he is a left handed quarterback?
• Arm strength: ability to throw all routes and the ability to throw with just his arm without having to muscle the ball with his body.
• Zip: velocity and tightness of the spiral.
• Touch, timing and positioning: on screen passes and swing passes
• Effectiveness on: short out routes, deep out routes, go routes, post routes and corner routes

Just look here , I am the 49ers over there. been in this league for 1 and a half season. Still having a great time !

Greed (The rating for players with bad agents)
Envy (The troy Hambrick rating)
Sloth (The Randy rating)
Wrath (The Warren Sapp Rating)
Pride (The aging veteran rating)
Lust (The Joe Horn to Willie Roaf's wife rating)
Gluttony (The O-lineman rating)

This should replace astrological signs as a basis for personality.

[albionmoonlight]

I think that less is more in a lot of cases. I prefer a LB rating of "tackling" rather than 18 different ratings like "Ability to tackle the Fullback running a counter trap through the three hole"

A game should also allow you to search for a player by rating--not just by overall ability.

I like it, but's it pretty widespread. I always like to use combos of things. Like combine stats, which would tell you about a players 40-yard time (speed), 10-yard dash (acceleration) and shuttle run(agility). This would give you a good idea of his scrambling skills.

[SunDancer]

Now speaking of combine stats. Can any break down the differenet tests, what they are and what they test.

Height
Weight
20SH = 20 Yard Shuttle
WT = Weight Bench = Bench Press
40 = 40 Time
VJ = Vertical
60SH= 60 Yard Shuttle
BJ = Broad Jump
Cone = Cone

[SunDancer]

Anyone have a clue?

Noop, check your pm.
