How this will work....

So this is exactly how the Reward Points will work. Instead of a grade increase you will get 5 points to "spend" in a category for every 100 Reward Points. This will in turn potentially raise a letter grade. Ive decided on this because it gives a GM a more comprehensive control over which part of the players game he is improving.

Note, I will not increase anyone over 85. So if you choose to raise Duncans inside scoring by 5, and he is already over 85 the request will be denied. If someone has an 83, and you choose to raise a player by 5, he will only be raised by 2, and you will get a "refund" of 3.

Only players under 25 are eligible.

Idea - how about making Age a limit? As in, players over a certain age can't be increased, period.

Why? Players usually don't improve once they're into their 30's. Of course, older players can still improve in training camp but at least this way players will "usually" decline or stay they same skill wise, like they're supposed to.

Could also do something similar with Potential. While players have a certain amount of potential left, they can't be increased. If a player has high potential and gets increased with reward points...well, like I've mentioned before, there should only be a handful of "Uberstars" at one time.

thats what im concerned about, i dont want this to become an allstar league like xba, makes it harder to make trades, and winning becomes more about luck than about skill, a good league will have room for role players

And/or...players with an overall rating at a certain level or above can't be upgraded...ie players that already have great ratings.

Ive already stated above that anything at or over 85 cant be increased.

An age limit can be discussed. Maybe only sub 25 yo's?

I was talking about something like a player with an overall rating of "X" cant be increased in any category. As in, they're already a stud...they dont need any extra boosts.

Well the grades are based off the numbered ratings. And if a guy gets to 85, he cant be raised more. Im not sure what you mean.

OK, I understand now.

How would we determine who can or cant be raised?

How do we determine are "studs"?

I was assuming there was some sort of number grade for players...like Dirk Diggler is an 85 overall. If not, then im not sure...there's probably a way...im just too lazy to think of one right now...

i dont think we need to worry bout the age limit, i think no raises over 85 is more than enough, theres no point in upgrading gasols outside shot from c- to a c, and if someone does wanna do it (aj) then good luck to them.

No overall grades.
