Very elegant solution, thanks

Now just up the current ratings for the rest of my guys and we'll be cooking.

You would have liked the first build of the game engine when every player had the same rating for all of their attributes. Of course, there was also only one offensive and one defensive play as well.

I'll add to this. My kicker last game hit 6/6. this game 0/4. concerns me a bit although the misses were beyond 40 except for 1 that was for 24 yards.

I'll continue to keep my eye on this, the sample size is still fairly low and it could be nothing more than bad dice rolls. In the long term testing I've been happy with the overall skill-to-accuracy values. Look in your misc. gameplan options as well to see what your kicker's 70% range is, as he gets closer his accuracy should improve and vice versa as he gets further.

I think the question here isn't about skill-to-accuracy, but whether the skill-to-player-pool ratio is correct. At least, that is my interpretation of the discussion.

I think it's more about a certain baseline of skill that every player in a pro league should have.
