I've come to believe that the categories of low do matter.* If a recruit comes in maxed out (low-low, zero growth left), he could lose points in that category during his career and he can *never* recover them. I had a PG lose about 8 points of stamina over four years. I submitted a ticket and was told, "Sorry, we can't fix that."
*I've still been too lazy to identify the messages associated with low/low high/low.
