My quarterback has 1.5 star talent and a rating of 2. How high can he go? Thanks for the info, folks. around 13 except strength and speed I think it's actually 17 except speed and strength. Did I miss something? 0.5 stars -> 11 ... 5 stars -> 20 so 1.5 stars -> 13 Yes, you missed something. They can go 4 past their soft cap. but only with a lowered possibility then, right? 7. Is it possible for a player to go above his maximum? It is possible, it's just that much harder for the player to achieve that. If a player is at his maximum then he has 1 in 3 chance to gain a point/level. If a player is at his maximum + 1 then he has 1 in 5 chance to gain a point/level. If a player is at his maximum + 2 then he has 1 in 10 chance to gain a point/level. If a player is at his maximum + 3 then he has 1 in 20 chance to gain a point/level. It is impossible for a player to go more than 4 above his maximum nice quoting So we are both right

So everybody wins. Besides buckeye. Buckeye doesn't win.

Thanks! What about the positional rating, though. How high can it go depending on talent? I can't find that in the FAQ.

Positional rating is not affected by talent I don't believe. Positional Rating represents how much experience a player has at his natural position. If you want to change his natural position, his new position rating will need to exceed the current position rating for the change to occur.

If I remember correctly, it goes something like this:


Talent (stars)----MAX BPOS(1-20)-----MAX BPOS (stars)
-----0.5-------------------11-----------------3----
------1--------------------12-----------------3----
-----1.5-------------------13----------------3.5---
------2--------------------14----------------3.5---
-----2.5-------------------15-----------------4----
------3--------------------16-----------------4----
-----3.5-------------------17----------------4.5---
------4--------------------18----------------4.5---
-----4.5-------------------19-----------------5-----
------5--------------------20-----------------5----

As I understand it, he has to get a higher positional rating in the new position to change, but if he's maxed out, he can't get higher, can he?

I personally don't know, but from my understanding, their BPOS for a position will drop if they're not playing there(albeit very slowly). If so, that would definitely solve that.
