When you guys get the e-mail saying a rating is maxed out, what do you set it at to keep from skill deterioration?

0

is that facetious?

A lot of coaches use '0' with no ill effects. The maximum you'd need, however, is 3 for LP and PER; 7 for everything else.   You can always add minutes back if you see a drop.  For FTs, I stay at 8.

I use 0 and have never had a rating decrease. Some coaches like to keep some minutes there but I think it's a waste.

I use zero, except for FT where I go to 8 - if anyone consistently goes lower on FT without a hit would love to know

Now and then I see ratings drop one point and I pop a few minutes back into the category - depending on how important it is and where he stands in other categories,

If it's a player with a lower we, it wouldn't be surprising to see a drop. A player with a solid we should be OK at 0 on a maxed out category (except ft; I haven't had the guts to go to 0 on that, so I'm not sure).

I have a guy on my team that has seen no visible drop on FT with 0 minutes for over a season and a half. He does, however, have outstanding work ethic, 91.

Yeah, with a 91 we I wouldn't be worried about it. Part of the issue w. ft is that it takes longer to make a move that's actually visible, so it's much harder to know if it's dropping. It's totally possible that you can maintain a maxed-out ft rating using 0 mins with an average we player, I just haven't had the stones to find out (and again, actually figuring it out is kind of tough).

ok. thanks a bunch for the feedback, guys. gotta go do a heavy-duty make-over on my practice plans.

I have only see drops in rollover with 0, after maxing out. And that was from 100 to 99, and he never dropped again afterwards.

folks just don't want to believe...

mets/girt - i go with 0 minutes on free throw shooting all the time and never have had a problem with it (although, i have put guys at low, not maxed, at 0, and forgotten to change it for a few seasons, and that did not go as smoothly :(
