I just started paying attention to this but it seems that most of my players have a +/- 8 point swing in the off season.   This guy grew 25!  That's a lot right?

Name           Yr. Pos. A    SPD REB DE BLK LP   PE BH   P   WE   ST   DU   FT TOT
Brian Lloyd  So. PG 58     88      1    47     2     1    55  71   66  85     81   82    B- 637
Brian Lloyd   Fr. PG 56     84       1    44    2     1    53  65   63  85     79   79    C+ 612

with that kind of work ethic, its pretty good.  you wouldn't expect that from a guy with WE of 31

Did this guy improve in categories he was maxed out in? Does that happen in the offseason?

that's a very good question. i wish i knew the answer

I'm seeing 85 WE on the player in question, which explains a lot.

That isn't quite accurate.  There is a maximum figure that a player can achieve in any particular category, but that is not necessarily the number at which the assistant coach will provide the "maxed-out" message.  

I have had many players receive the assistant coaches message at, say, C+ free throw shooting, only to show up on campus at B- for the next season.  I think the largest improvement after the tapped-out message in numbered categories is about 2.   I would guess that to be a fraction over 1 and mathematical rounding to a whole number making up the rest.  Sometimes that's the only way a guy will reach his absolute maximum in a category.
