Make overall ratings/potential apply to position
Ok, I submit this as an official suggestion: I think overall ratings/potential would be much more useful if they were compared to other players at that position rather than MBBA as a whole. We don't have scouts and since the information is provided (the stars) might as well make it as useful as possible, IMO.

Re: Make overall ratings/potential apply to position
Open to debate. This isn't a major change, just a cosmetic one, so unless I hear significant opposition I'll just do this.

Shrug.
I guess I would be in favor of it.
Be interesting to see the results.

Re: Make overall ratings/potential apply to position
I whole heartedly agree to making ratings per-position, rather than per-league. Nothing like having someone glance at the stars rating and have it be a 1.5 or something, when he's really a 4-star guy. Now, should you look more into it than the stars...absolutely, but for super quick reference, this would be great.

I concur with the masses on how we should set position ratings.

Re: Make overall ratings/potential apply to position
Well, ultimately I don't put too much stock in the stars...even if we had scouts that would still be true. I've played enough local to realize they have near nothing to do with future performance. But, like you said, they are useful for a quick glance at the value of a player...especially when doing a quick "sniff test" on a proposed trade.EchoesIE wrote:I whole heartedly agree to making ratings per-position, rather than per-league.

I like the per-position ratings best personally.
