Once the new game comes out and I get time to research the slider settings, I will post what I recommend. Otherwise, please start another thread for this topic.

Haha. No, I understand. I just think the verbiage you use is odd. To each his own.Thanks again for the response, though.

Mundane meaning common or ordinary.

That would be the reason why they have several accuarcy ratings in the game.

Do you really believe Brunell should be rated like a highschool kid in arm strength?

That's like giving a kicker 70 power and watching him not be able to get any distance on a 40 yard FG.....

Is that realistic for a NFL Kicker?

I'm pretty sure Brunell's ability to throw the deep ball (rated 73) will balance out his throwing power making him a inaccurate QB going down the field

A strong point, exactly. And like I said prior, there is more than one way to qualify throwing power.

are your skill ratings based off of last season's performances or are they more of a snapshot of the last couple years for each player?

ALL ratings are not based off of stats, but are based off of scouting data via professional scouts for the NFL.

So what if any ratings are based on statistics?
