When I promise a start, does the kid have to start every game? I just realized that when I reshuffled my lineup a bit on one of my teams, I accidentally moved a promised start to the 2nd slot - its been 2 games. If I put him back at starter will he be ok?

90% seems to be the magic number

red is correct, it's 90%

ThwWizard2 was correct when he said res is correct...it's 90%

And does that 90% apply to his entire career, or just the given year?

To expand on what Weena is saying, promises are only for the players 1st season with your team.

That said a player can still complain or lose work ethic because you did break a promise to him, I wouldn't expect it but it could happen.

well, after learning this info, I sat a different kid for 2 games against top 25 opponents, and now he is ******** and his WE dropped. If he starts the rest of the season will it come back?

Maybe.

Rule of thumb - If you promise a start, start him every game.

They randomly check if a player is happy/unhappy. It can change over the course of the season to happy/unhappy. If you miss 1 start and then it checks he can complain that easy. You could go like 4 games w/o living up to it, and then start him 4 more. There is a chance he will still complain if he held a grudge, but he may not. The safe bet is just to start him. If you start him the rest of the season he will send you a "thanks" Email and his WE will jump back, but he won't gain the WE he would have if you just lived up to it and not ****** him off to begin with.

he's back starting (I was planning on putting him back anyway), we did win the 2 games vs. top 25s with him coming off bench, so I guess its worth it...
