WE also plays a role in rebounding.
Back in the old days of HD, WE did play a part in the game. A high WE would give a small boost.
At some point around 2008 or 2009, they stated that WE would no longer play a part in the game and it would just be limited to improving skills and IQ.
There is so much misinformation in this thread I am not sure where to start.....
"WE" NEVER mattered to anything except ratings and IQ growth.
There was a time when some moron 1st level CS representatives gave out false information about WE affecting game play but Tarek later said those tickets/answers were incorrect.
I read it in an old dev chat.
Dig it up, share it, then I will dig up a quote from tarek saying otherwise
Super old, 4/5/2005:
Can you explain the work ethic player attribute? Specifically, does work ethic only affect the ability of the player to improve their other ratings through practice, game time, and the like or does it also translate to intangibles, such as going harder after loose balls in games? Thanks, bistiza (bistiza - Hall of Famer - 7:00 PM)
Work ethic is used for more than player skill improvement - guys that have high work ethic will, all else being equal, be better rebounders (especially offensively) and better defenders.
From 2007
I thought work ethic had more impact than just desire to improve - for example, two otherwise identical centers with differing WE would have differing potential to collect the same rebound. Not so? (kcsundevil - Hall of Famer - 3:58 PM)
I think initially did play a small role in rebounding but it does not impact rebounding now. Work ethic can be thought of as a general willingness to want to improve whereas rebounding and defensive ratings are more indicative of the player's willingness to work at that aspect of the game.
Notice he says "I think". I cant find my ticket, but since the game engine did not change between 2005 and 2007 I asked how this could have changed. He basically responded that the 2005 quote was not correct.
