1st- I get the feeling pete purposefully has some messed up players just throw us off the scent. Just a hunch.

2nd- Here is my intelligence tree

45-50 QB MLB K/P

35-45 Center Safety

25-35 OLINE WR TE CB OLB

15-25 RB DL G KR


I have absolutely nothing to back this up, just my own assumptions.

Peter had said in a thread previously that intelligence will factor into kicker and punter in where they kick the ball on punts and kickoffs.

But still, do kickers need to be very smart just to kick ball ?

Not to kick the ball, but to kick it maybe into the corner of the field, or short before - but not over the goalline, or out of bounds on the 2 yard line...

not sure ... what its got to do with Intelligence to be honest .... even punters with an IQ of 17 know its better to kick it out on the 5 than to go for a touchback.

Whether they can do it is purely a matter of punting technique.

Probably should be a tactical setting ... go for coffin corners. A punter who goes for it will get some go out on the 1 and some roll out for a touchback. Or they could play safe and look to kick it out somewhere around the 10.

Pete,

In a previous thread (probably the dreaded "Height/Weight" thread), you mentioned that the caps for speed/strength have a Gaussian distribution.

Does the value for a player's Intelligence have a Gaussian distribution ?

and whilst I'm asking, might aswell go for the whole set .....Does the value for a player's Teamwork have a Gaussian distribution ?

yep, on creating initial skills we are using that Gaussian all the time...but based on the target type of player we cut some of that gaussians by certain values - which destroys the gaussian sometimes..

a stupid question from me (as per usual, you're probably thinking ! ) .... "target type of player" .... do you mean QB vs WR vs TE etc ???

in fact, I'll just ask ..... what exactly do you mean by "target type of player" ?? !!
