So I took over a team that was Final Four caliber and know nothing about this game. I got lucky and made it to the Final Four or even better in the future. Could someone point me in the direction that tells which attributes go to each position? Thanks!!

I advise you to reach out to a mentor. I'm not experienced enough to be a mentor, but I talk to topdogggbm a ton and he's helped A TON!

For offense:

PG- speed, pass, bh
scoring- spd and per or ath and lp
rebounder- ath and reb

defense:
def, ath, speed (for wings) and blk(for post)

ath pretty much helps everythig
pass helps all players score
bh helps the shooter score

durability is useless

Nice synopsis Trentonjoe.

I think I beat your team in the Final 4 Alabama.Lege. I really thought you must have been a seasoned user with a new identity. You did a nice job. Your team was tough to game plan against.

Thanks Trent... that's a starts, but I know when I was looking around before playing I saw somewhere it had the main attributes to each position. Was going to see if I could find that again and make me out a sort of spreadsheet. I'm a spreadsheet geek when it comes to numbers.

Q: What do the ratings mean?
A: Players are rated in 12 different categories, each are based from 1 - 100 with 1 being the worst and 100 being the best.
Rating Description
Athleticism (A) Affects nearly every area of the game, from shooting to rebounding to defense, and more.
Speed (SPD) Affects mainly defense (including steals), shooting, and avoiding turnovers.
Rebounding (REB) Affects rebounding ability.
Defense (DE) Affects defensive ability.
Shot Blocking (BLK) Affects ability to block shots, including altering shots, which reduces opponent shooting.
Low Post (LP) Affects offensive ability closer to the basket, including post up plays as well as dribble drives and other close shots.
Perimeter (PE) Affects offensive ability from the perimeter, including 3-point range and mid-range shots.
Ball Handling (BH) Affects ability to avoid turnovers and ability to get in better position for shots.
Passing (P) Affects ability to avoid turnovers and improves the quality of shots for teammates.
Work Ethic (WE) Affects the rate of improvement for other ratings.
Stamina (ST) Affects how long a player can play before tiring and how quickly he recovers after becoming fatigued.
Durability (DU) Affects the odds of player suffering an injury and the severity of the injury.

Also, each player has a Free Throw Grade, which indicates free throw shooting ability, and ranges from A+ (great) to F (very poor).
