"Attribute effects" slider working in your oppinion?

[vauclair]

After playing some games I am kind of curious on „Attribute effects“: top to the right means your best players should act like your best players while top to the left means a fourth line player should never be able to dangle around, is that in principle correct? And if so, do you think it’s actually working? What other influences has the “Attribute effects” on the game?

This has been discussed heavily in the slider section of this forum (for previous games).
There's was even a spreadsheet for comparison on where you get the biggest difference between different ranked players.

Sorry about this, but currently there are only about 10 threads in "Slides" section and I can't see any one of them heavily discussing about attribute effects. can you help me out, where exactly this was posted?

I think he meant it was discussed heavily with previous iterations of the game.

As a general rule the sliders don't nullify the attribute effects except the Attribute Effect slider (or whatever it is called these days). At zero that one makes everyone the same. At the high end it also makes high attributes get maxed out, so it will squash up the top end players (e.g. 95 will be similar to a 99) while spreading out worse players. The default is set one notch from the top (as on NHL13), so attributes are exaggerated a bit. Dropping it a notch or two below the default will give a more full spread in effective attribute values, when it is in the middle the numbers aren't warped at all.

So if I understand this correctly, if the attribute effect slider is at 3, then the players will play according to their ratings.

Yeah sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't check out the sliders forum myself, but I realised now they've been cleared from old threads.

Anyway, CupCrazyManiac's info is the long story short.
