programming brackets

EA_Aljo 

I was wondering what you could tell us about ability scores, if anything.

is there an actual difference between a score of 82 and 83? or do both of them fall into the 80-84 bracket or something similar? It would be useful to know when upgrading players. If you aren't going to be able to improve a score to the next bracket then there is no reason to improve it at all.

Another question: if two players have the exact same scores, but one is a forward and one is a defenseman does the defenseman defend better than the forward? I ask because it seems that forwards develop faster and if there is no difference then I will just draft forwards and make them play defense.

Thanks for your time

    I believe there are slight percentage based differences for all stats but I recall one of the previous CM's saying they couldn't/wouldn't give exact numbers as it would force meta builds for best possible outcome (though I never understood this as custom stats revolve around that very concept in the first place)

      These questions CAN be answered, it will just be a hassle.

      I thought I would try the easy way and just ask.

      They make programs that can analyze skater speed in real games, I don't think it would be to hard to adapt to an EA game

    EA_Aljocan you also tell us WHICH attribute scores can be affected by in game play and which can't?

    I have found some, but if there are any in game boosts for speed and acceleration I haven't found them. Acceleration and balance cost way too much when you have to start with such low scores to begin with.

    @EA_Alljo

    No slight intended, but is there a moderator that actually plays BAP and Franchise that we can talk to?

    It seems like you are completely unaware of the issues that those of us that DO play those modes are experiencing.

      Unfortunately, we don't have any mods or CMs that play this offline modes. I'll see if I can get you an answer though.

      Here is the answer I received regarding these questions.

      There is a slight difference between each overall point a player goes up by. We usually interpolate when running any logic in Franchise. So an 82 would have a slightly less chance of doing something than a 83.

      Player types dictate overall for players so a Defensive Defenseman is going to have different overall formula than a sniper. For example, a defensive D takes into account more Defensive stats vs Sniper which takes into account more shooting/offense. Additionally if the player is playing out of position they get penalized unless it's considered a secondary position. 

      Additionally a Players development is determined by their Potential.

      I hope this helps.
