Rookie Camp

Was the training camp boost supposed to kick in this year? Beta-87 just had camp and the biggest gainer I had was 7/5. That's no different than previous seasons in terms of current skill.

Still trying to wrap my head around that last one. Some guys are fully developed already. I think I saw a +12 and a lot of late picks guys had high volatility . I think everything was in action....besides extra speed.

Do you mean +12 in future or current.

Did anyone see any late round booms?

If they are coming into the league more developed, that could explain the lack of movement on some of my picks. My boomers tho have a lot of blue still.

If a player has higher ratings in non-improvable skill he is less likely to gain as ,any points at times of growth. Only because, of the weighting system uses ratios in calculations to develop overall. It kind of the same if you hit on a 96 rated CB with 96 vol. ......you can only make it to 100 so the gain there will be smaller that a player with 96 volatility and 56 overall. Late round guys have plus 12 in overall. I have seen a few just by clicking.

I like the results . ....not mine, but I used a safe approach with an all AI driven pick system . I wish there were more UDRFAS that did well. All the fast guys were/ are gone by 3. Same goes for strenght .

It is odd, but I do see some minimal gainers with 90 volatility in FA. Same goes for a bust , and I saw a-13 bust in FA as well. As well as some high vol. Busts that only lost one point. It does seem like there are more minimal gainers and losers despite have a high volatility . But then again I have never tried to check that relation before as UDRFAs are a rarities on my teams.

In MFN1 I was quite surprised by my rookie camp:

1.25 CB - +14/+4
2.25 WR +13/+10
2.28 DT +23/+11
3.25 Rg +18/+8
4.1 DT +17/+6

Best Rookie camp I can remember for my team. I knew we adjusted camp development, but I usually have some significant busts every year. Maybe lucky roll of the dice this season.

That's the best camp I've ever seen!

Congrats on the early Christmas present.
