Is there some sort of a "bust" rating or badge? For example, one time you play MyLeague, Player A would become a bust but if you were to try again Player A would develop into a star ... the rating in this case would determine those odds? Just wondering if thats included and if not, a suggestion for the future

And to piggy back off that, will a player with, say, 85 OVR and great potential but terrible work ethic, be surpassed by a player with 75 OVR and low potential, great work ethic?

If said 75 overall rated palayers potential atribute is 85, he will never surpass the player that started out 85. no matter thier respective work ethic ratings. As i understand it your potential rating is reflecting how good a certain player can become. Correct?

This is actually a great suggestion. One of things that gives the User such a huge advantage over the CPU is that User can keep undisciplined players from making so many poor decisions, and therefore make them so much more effective than they are in real life.

I know that a strong appeal of using any team is to have players like JR Smith and Westbrook live up to their potential by getting them to always play under control and more effcient. IMO, things are more interesting if there is a consequence for, "reigning a player in" and making him play against his nature/personality.

For example if the User eliminates all the 3 pointers from Josh Smith's game, he would obviously be an exponentially more efficient player, and his team would benefit from this change too, of course. So he's "doing what the coach wants", but he should be unhappy, and other parts of his game could/should suffer, and he might want to be traded as well.

Just something to think about.

[Leftos]

Or you can be completely coocoo OCD like me and play Josh Smith to his tendencies and then get frustrated that you're losing, only to be more pumped up when you get the team rebuilt.

Yeah, I need to talk to a doctor about that.

Sacrificing things especially those things you're good at don't always mean suffering does it?
