In an OL and playing my three rookies. I've seen a few older posts stating that one can identify their rookie's "alter ego" by searching POS EFF or Range% in the Draft Room for identical figures. I've run two of my guys and can't seem to find out who they are. Does the sim still model rookies off real life players? What am I missing? TIA

If I recall correctly, you have to do a range on the shooting but seem to be able to do exact on effectiveness. So for Porter I would do:
POS = C
PER% = 0, 2 (mix, max)
MID% = 12, 14
PAINT = 85, 87
PG = 60, 60
SG = 70, 70
SF = 82, 82

Usually after the first three positions it is good enough. If I get a couple results, I sort it out via player height.

figured it out! thanks!

I would like to do the same but can't figure out how or where to run the search for those attributes. Could you please post a link or run me through it?
Thanks in advance.

it's just the draft search screen for when youre drafting your team - all the parameters (clues) are searchable so bracket your known stuff (shooting ranges and position effectiveness) and it will narrow it down to just a handful of dudes and then you can compare height and weights and zero in on your guy

use their ppg, rpg, apg that you see when you're trying to activate a player in the GM's office. That (along with position effectiveness) will give you the parameters you need to figure out exactly who your rookies are.
