Most of the things I really want improved are the html type stuff. Going for a fantasy basketball type feel, everything will be web interface and the commish won't have to do any inputting of trades/depth charts/signings etc. That type of interface would be awesome. Automated articles? Advanced history html. Sortable future draft classes. |

My thoughts are to use athleticism/work ethic type attributes to dictate development, where athleticism can signify unlocked potential in a way, and work ethic dictates the natural career arc of a player. Still not entirely sure how I want to work that though. I don't love the idea of singling out each rating with it's own upside, I don't think that's a very "natural" way of looking at how players develop and can result in some strange players that don't really make sense (like a guy who has high inside and three point potentials and a strangely low mid range potential). I agree with that, would make draft classes hell as well...I have a problem with utilizing athleticism as the marker for potential as well, look at Kevin Love...not an athlete, yet.... |

and Zach Randolph even, not a great athlete at all, nor would you say he has the best work ethic
however, maybe an underlying natural talent type number to counterbalance the work ethic and Athleticism? some guys would have low athleticism high talent, others the reverse

Kevin Love came into the league with a ton of skill already though. He was good pretty much right away. Things like positional defense, awareness type stuff would improve with work ethic. Athleticism wouldn't affect the development of everything, it'd be more about the whole concept of a guy being raw. The idea that athleticism can be harnessed and turned into skill. I want to be able to capture a guy coming into the league as a raw athlete and turning into a legitimate player. |

What's natural talent? That's essentially the skill a guy enters the league with. That's what I'm talking about when I say I'd use a guy's current ratings as part of their development. A guy who enters the league as a quality shooter is going to keep developing as a shooter.

For example, a guy who has a high three point/midrange shot might see his off ball ability develop quicker than a guy who doesn't, a guy who shoots free throws well is more likely to develop a three point shot than someone who doesn't, things like that.

Obviously there will be a level of randomness to it, but some of it will be somewhat predictable, and it should be. |

Obviously there will be a level of randomness to it, but some of it will be somewhat predictable, and it should be. yeah but a Player like LeBron, Wade, Love etc all have a gift, difference for Love is his lack of athleticism, but, while it took time to develop all around, he became that kinda player despite many thinking he wasnt athletic enough. I said underlying since I really wasnt thinking about utilizing the ratings as this. I dont like because this guy starts with good ratings he has huge potential etc IE Brandon Roy, he was really pretty athletic (he had a 40 inch+ vertical) was pretty quick, and was very good to start in the league, with a great work ethic. There in lies the key, he marks off all the star type categories, but, it was understood he wasnt going to be a next level player |

Roy was good at everything, , but he was never going to be a LeBron type, or a Wade type, with the elite scoring, or all around game.
