Player's intelligence, like his team work and consistency, cannot be increased.

so if ive got a great stats for a qb but his consostency is low and has no chance of going up is it worth putting the effort in or should i look for an new one from the start

One of the best QB's in the game only has a Consistency of 4

so do that stats actually count for anything as ive also read the posts on kicker/punter only needing 7points and others not mattering much. so if i need a center and only have like 8 strength 6 blocking, would he do any good

also what is it with stamina in this game as quite a few posts state to train that first before any other major attribute ??

If you are manager who will use the salary predictors to keep yourself afloat, you donot really have to bother about the order in which you train stuff.


A lot of people use speed/strength + Talent to determine player position because eventually you can train every other skill up to the level limited by the talent. And well they believe speed/strength are the most important attributes or speed/strength caps are the indeterminates that need to be determined before assigning a player position.

The advantage to using this technique your player salaries stay under check even if you forget about the current skill level/ future salaries during the initial few seasons in GI giving you enough time to roll up your sleeves and then start training non-physical skills


The other school of thought believes the actual primary skill a player needs is a lot more important than the physicals. As an imaginary example maybe blocking for OL. The advantage of using this technique is you might be able to start winning initially but will have to keep modifying your training schedule to balance your checkbook

Other than this people look at consistency , intelligence and maybe even teamwork to determine what position a player would be the best at and what training strategy they should adopt.

As long as you don't train catching for your kicker or passing for your OL, almost all of these strategies work.


Every player gets tired through the course of the game and hence plays slightly worse as the game progresses. So stamina helps reduce the effect of this fatigue.

So should you train stamina?
Yes if you want your players to play at almost the same level* throughout the game
No if you want your players to get a huge lead at the start of the game and ride the lead out till the end


*Players (even those with 20 consistency) do not necessarily play at exactly the same level through every play in the game.


How well will a 8 strength 6 blocking OL do?
The top 3 human teams in your division will probably get past him.(pressures and tackles for losses, probably even a sack) He should do well against bots.

Considering you cannot really promote this season, I would suggest picking player positions with the future in mind, taking into consideration the amount of time you need to train a skill up etc

Roman number indicates level, so you are on 5th level.

As it's one up, three down there are 3 times more divisions each time you drop a level (so one top division, 3 division 2s, 9 division 3s, 27 division 4s, 81 division 5s)

ooh now thaty does make sense
