i know that:
-10 = 170-200
-9 = 150-180
-8 = 130-160
-7 = 110-140
-6 = 90-120
-5 = 70-100
-4 = 50-80
-3 = 30-60
-2 = 10-40
-1 = 0-20

but what is 0? does that just mean they are at their maximum?

Random if I remember correctly. I probably don't though.

thanks for the almost answer dan

I *think* it means it hasn't been researched.

Only a 'think' though, unfortunately I'm not a reesearcher so I couldn't give a definitive answer...

0 means that the game will randomly assign a potential ability to that player from 1 to 200 I guess.

thanks guys

retired_lennypekerti

it does mean random, 110%

Well, it's not so clear cut. The default is 0, yes. But being left at the default doesn't mean that it wasn't looked at.

Any takers for 125%???

Thanks for clearing that one up. Shame on you Matt for thinking that the researcher like leaving lots of empty holes in stats!

Well, it certainly looks like they do. In south america you even have players without a single attribute - not even positional - yet with extremely high PA. Go figure.

The entire random generated ability/attribute system is shoddy and needs a rehaul desperately. I'm amazed, not in a good way, something that easy to implement has eluded SI for this long.

As for the random "0" PA, I assume there's an exponential factor in calculating the final 1-200 outcome, with miniscule chance of the latter (much, much less than .5% as would have been with even distributed chances).
