I've done some searching but haven't been able to find a completely clear answer to my question about the skill colors for players. There is a chance I just haven't been able to find the right thread so if anyone has a link I would greatly appreciate it.

I know that there are caps that can be reached for player skills but even that isn't totally clear to me. Player skills can be black, blue, green, yellow (or orange perhaps but I'll call it yellow), or red. Sometimes there is an exclamation mark next to a skill as well.

The exclamation mark means the player has reached their maximum for that skill if I am not mistaken, and that skill is sometimes in red but not always from what I have seen. I also have many players with lower skill ratings also in red like 21.0 strength but with no exclamation mark next to it. What is the difference between a red skill with an exclamation mark and a red skill without?

Also, what do the black, blue, green, and yellow colors mean?

As a further example, here are the stats with the colors from a LB that I drafted in the last offseason:

Morale 72.0 % - yellow
Intelligence 50.0 - green


Strength 43.3 - green with red exclamation mark - The skill hit the cap already
Speed 45.4 - green with red exclamation mark - The skill hit the cap already
Agility 8.1 - black
Physical condition 78.0 % - yellow

Positioning 27.3 - red
Vision 25.8 - red
Tackling 22.7 - red
Blocking 9.6 - black
Carrying 8.8 - black
Catching 11.3 - blue
Kicking 9.3 - black
Punting 8.6 - black
Footwork 8.6 - black
Passing 13.5 - blue
Teamwork 36.7 - yellow
Team chemistry 85.0 % - green


Could anyone explain the entire color system with this player as an example? Or link me to a thread I probably just couldn't find? I tried searching the FAQs, forums, and manual but couldn't seem to find a 100% clear cut explanation of the skill colors and their meanings.

Thanks in advance for any help!

black 0 - 9.999
blue 10 - 19.999
red 20 - 29.999
orange 30 - 39.999
green 40 - 50
any colour + red exclamation: skill cap
any colour + yellow exclamation: near skill cap

Ah ok, so the colors just help indicate between poor ratings and good ratings. Simple enough. I just assumed that the colors had another meaning. Its really just the exclamation marks that we need to look out for then. Thanks a lot!
