AI and Attribute Sliders Question.

Okay, Every year I try to figure out what every slider does and if it actually has an impact. If you move one slider how will it effect others or will it improve or ruin the game. So leads me to two sliders that I just can’t figure out. 

1. The attributes slider: I know what it does, but how does it work? Is it like a rubber band where if you stretch it out the gap is wider? If you move it to 0 where to the highs and lows meet? For these examples my player is new and a 77 rating and McDavid is a 97 Rated player. So have a delta of 20 points for the rating. 
   1. If I move the slider to 0/10. Is the Delta at 0? What are each players ratings? I am even with McDavid and we both have an 87 Rating? Do I get a boost and McDavid gets a reduction?  Do I remain the same as a 77 and McDavid moves down or do I move up to a 97 with him?
   2. If I have the slider to a 5/10, Is the delta now 10 points? This is the default setting but is this the setting where my 77 rated players plays at 77 and McDavid is a true 97? Or is the gap between highest and lowest player a 10 point difference? So I in theory play like an 82 rating while McDavid is reduced to a 92 rating.. OR
   3. At max 10/10 is there where the true ratings and attributes take over? Are the attributes amplified so McDavid is near God level and my 77 rated players is playing at a Pee-Wee level? Or is this where my 77 rating is a true ratings? Is the 20 point gap really at 20 points or is it exaggerated?
   4. What slider value will give me the best true representation of the players attributes?
2. The AI slider: this one is very vague just says how quickly the computer learns your play style but it doesn’t say what part of the computer learns. So does it help, hinder or both? Increasing the slider value.. does it? 
   1. Affect only my teammates? (Positive effect)
   2. Affect only the opponent? (Negative effect)
   3. All players on the ice will learn how you play? (Negative effect)
   4. If you play BAP goalie does this slider have any affect at all? I am guessing no since it doesn’t matter what I do, the game plays the same. 

Thank you
