Title: Positional Changes
Post by: CavsGM on December 01, 2005, 04:57:11 PM
Has any rating other then defense ever been changed when you switch a player's position. I'm not sure if someone else asked before, or maybe I did. Just wondering.

I think it's only defense.

Wait, there was that issue with Marion losing rebounding at SG. Supposedly a sg can only have C+ rebounding or below. Is that right Nets?

I don't remeber who it was but I had a player whose handle changed between PG & SG.

It's pretty easy. When you CREATE a new player there are rating limits for certain positions. A PG can't have more than 50 (of 100) in both rebounding categories, a SG not more than 60. Similar limits are for other categories and positions as well ... except for SF which allows full 100 at every rating !

But if you CHANGE a player to a position he keeps his ratings - and furthermore, he can even IMPROVE those in TC. So if a SF with 75 rebounding is moved to SG and does his TC there, he can improve on that 75 despite the positional limit.

There are positional limits, yes.  With switching Marion from sf to sg, he was able to go above the positional limits a SG normally has.  I have no idea how the positional limits got enforced years after the change occured, either the program or myself made a mistake.

But for the most part positional limits don't apply to us, since we don't create players.  Ratings DO carry over when changing positions.

Ah. I see. Haha, I shoulda put up more of a stink about it after the conference finals, Marion was handicapped!

I wish I had a "handicapped" SG who grabs 9 boards a game against one of the best opponents at that position in this league ...

I'm not even exactly sure when it happened. I just know that before the series he was at a B and after the series he was at a C+. Maybe it just changed after my season was over?

It would kind of suck if his ratings went down just for that series, even if he did maintain his average (I don't know if he did since the playoff bracket is not up), he might, and probably would, have done better than 9 rbp. Imagine if your best player lost significant ratings in the most important playoff series you had been in...

Anyway, I am over it, even though I am sounding (more than) a little defensive here. I am confident that the best team one, and that the rebounding change would not have made a significant difference (if there even was one during the series.)

It might have had something to do with the end of the season, it might not have.  I have no idea.  It's the first I've ever seen of that, which is why I sent both you and Celtics a copy of the league file, to show you that I in fact could not make his rebounding anything above that number, to verify that I wasn't in fact going crazy.
