Why do the ratings of your player go down?

[butie120]

Hey guys. I've been noticing in my association that when I look at my roster, there is a down arrow with a minus 1 next to it indicating that my player's overall rating has declined by one point. I'm about three months into the season. Does the rating go down due to fatigue or something else? And, how would a player's overall rating go up? I guess i'm just confused about this. Any help would be great! Thanks!

I think it has to do with thier role on your team or the minutes your give them in your rotation.

Yeah, it's a combination of fatigue, the amount of minutes they've been playing lately, and the type of personality they have. They can go up to if they are playing well and getting more minutes than expected.

Shaq going down for me is because he believes the Association isn't running smoothly.. Is there anyway for me to fix the "smoothness" of my Association? My team chemistry is at 96% atm.

it also goes up and down due to chemistry. there are a ton of factors that matter into it

That just means that Shaq is angry about his playing time. When players morale goes down into the 25-50% range their agent will tell you the team should be running "more smoothly", but really that just means they want to be played more.
