The Philosophy on Ratings

[Silent Nature]

I've came up with this philosophy, "Zero to Hero", on how to rate a player's attributes for now and throughout the season. I want to come up with a basic system where it is very simple to sit down and rate a player without having to resort to evaluating thousands of results from combines or camp drills, which can be wildly inaccurate.

We have to go by how we perceive them on tape and from our experience of watching them on TV and their proven stats against their competition. That is the best way to rate a player's attribute. Consider the following...

When you want to make a recommendation, use this rank to give the term to give the appropriate rating for each attribute. It will be very useful to balance out the midmajor teams where they wouldn't be way too effective against top power conference teams. We have to make it further apart in skill level for it to happen. 84 is the breaking point where the top midmajor players should be at because their competition is not as good as power conference's competition. That will give the leeway for the top teams to pull away from the midmajors or weak teams.

Rerated Community Roster Database (RCRD): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...EExRExobkZJWWc

WARNING: Do not change any numbers in BASE RATING TABLE because that is where all of the data are being pulled for Player Creation section when you type in a position. You may download the spreadsheet for your own personal use if you want to edit players offline and copy & paste the data to DATABASE sheet for each player since Google Docs is all online that everyone can edit simultaneously.

The spreadsheet is now released to the public. Use the DATABASE sheet to insert new players and their adjusted ratings. You can use RATING sheet to come up with the normalized rating for any player for any position. Just put the position in the grey box and it will automatically retrieve the base rating to start with the process of rerating to a normalized level.

This project will be for OS Community Rosters. v2.3 should be out this weekend then I will download the new update and put in the new normalized ratings for top players and many other players that will need the adjustments. We all can pass around the file to help each other out to update as we go with the spreadsheet above.

Make sure to highlight anything that we have already updated to the OS Community Roster!

I agree that there needs to be a separation between the stars and avg starters but every mid major has potential NFL stars. If you cap the mid majors at 79, none would be NFL players. I think the ratings need to be lowered between avg players and stars so that the skill level really stands out and just have the elite above 90. After the first year of my dynasty every team has a 85 or above QB. I think the freshman ratings need to be lowered by about 7 or 8 points except for elite recruits--say the top 20 at each position. But I do agree with some of your points!!

Absolutely, the breaking point at 84 is like the filter where most midmajor players will stay at or under, but there'll be some players that deserves 85+ since they'll be the stars of their teams. Most teams usually have a couple of them.

We just need a nice system where it'll be much easier to evaluate most players' ratings and get the game on a much balanced field because there's too many players that are "generously" rated.

Rewrote the ranking system for improvements.

I will be working on the attribute guide soon.

Updated with two new normalized rating template for QB and RB. FB/WR/TE will be coming up soon.
