Really its just guys high in Speed, Range, and Arm, since those skill start off fully developed, so they have extra SI at the start. I wouldn't stress to much over Lockhart right now. His promotion to A at 18 is really very good. Just have to cross your fingers on the SI growth. If he has decent growth he should be fine. |

TexasSeraphim Joined: 07/05/2017 Posts: 32 Inactive | Okay, I will read the manual a bit more to try and grasp a general idea. Thanks! | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | A few key points when you take a look: 1) Players grow on different growth curves 2) Except in rare cases players' ratings will be capped by their scouting report 3) Build is important, not just total SI 4) POT shows a range of possible ending SI (when fully developed) |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | That last link has a bunch of useful links in it. Here is one additional useful link: Drafting for Position Also, feel free to keep asking questions about guys you aren't sure about. Most people on the boards enjoy helping out new players. You may sometimes get differing opinions on some players, but that is just more data for you to chew on And the manual is definitely worth a read. All these other links I provided are best reviewed after reading the manual to get the basics down. Updated Sunday, September 10 2017 @ 7:59:12 pm PDT |

I know they might not be helpful until after an owner has the basics down, but they contain important info directly from Steve. My bookmark list includes all the discussions where I have seen Steve clarify parts of the game. One last one. Updated Sunday, September 10 2017 @ 9:24:25 pm PDT |
