it only takes 3 per to guaranteed not go down, i.e., gain. that means, 1 work ethic, 0 minutes, you stay the same, so in all other cases, you basically gain (albeit slowly). my guess is this dude just has good work ethic and got a lot of minutes.
well, that idea was a flop. 23 work ethic, 1 game played :/ but i guess that is technically 3 practices. even if that 2 points gained is 1.00000000001, which is technically possible, i don't really see how it happened. you positive the dude had 0 minutes into per, even for exhibition games? if so, i agree, doesn't add up.
