We really won't know how they are truly rated until after camp, right ??

Right, training camp will be their first rankings you can trust. . .they can change over the course of the season.
I watch the ratings when they hit the roster, then look at them after training camp. . .good indicators. . . -
cool. Thanks.Comment

Expect most of the players to drop 5-10 pts in future rating, anything less than that or ANY movement up an consider yourself lucky.PFL Tampa Bay Bucs

Sort of. The great majority of players are "masked" in one direction or the other. If the scouted number in future potential increases, that's usually an indicator that he's better than what you see. If the number decreases, that's usually an indicator that he's worse than what you see.Originally posted by Heelfan71 View Post
Here are a bunch of examples from 6.0e. Cur1 and Fut1 represent the "first-look" ratings. Cur2 and Fut2 represent the ratings after the first training camp. MaxCur and MaxFut represent the highest current rating the player would achieve in his career. CurChg and FutChg represent the amount that those ratings appeared to change over the course of the player's career.

None of the players in this particular list were of the type that "boomed" or "busted." In other words, these guys were just "unmasked"--revealing who they really were relatively slowly over time. From time to time, you'll see players "boom" or "bust, meaning that their ratings will take a significant jump (15 points or more) at one time. Those are changes to the core, under-the-hood ratings. That's rare, though. In the vast majority of cases, you see gradual unmasking, referred to as "creeping" by many vets, such as in every case above. QB Marc Rayburn showed up on the roster as a 9/52, dropped to 9/49 in training camp, and was slowly revealed to have *really* been 9/41, not 9/52.Comment

Bah. Can't delete or edit my own post, and can't post a chart here. (We need to enable that.) Anyway, I've posted a primer on how this works at FOFC.

So, you have to do it for each forum and sub-forum. I don't think there's a global enable.
