GUESS Ratings Formulas - Time for an overhaul? Topic

It's been a few years since GD received its last major overhaul, and the GUESS ratings haven't changed since that release. Is it time to revisit the formulas to reflect the experience learned since then?

This post has a rating of , which is below the default threshold.
I'd love to help if you overhaul them. Send me a sitemail if/when you do. The more opinions we have the more discussion is generated and it reflects how the community values recruits.

The ratings are fantastic, so I wouldn't call it an overhaul. But an update with help from the top coaches (done anonymously) would make them even better. I would love to help but I've been out of the game for 3+ years and I'm relearning the game myself.

I'd be willing to help. I think tweaks are all that are necessary, if anything.

Although I occasionaly get kick outa looking at my team as rated in guess, I don't pay much attention to it or my guess ratings.
don't even know or care how you get them. I do it myself.
Now I don't mean to sound mean about it. I think it is obviously helpful to majority of players. And it is entertaining. So I am grateful it is there. But never use it as a tool myself.

mojo, I think it would be proper to ask you to give your input to Bob. I think there are many who use the GUESS equations as a starter, and then deviate somewhat (that's what I do). So, I think its more of a question of "how can we all help each other"?

You might fit in the category of "What??? Share my real winning formulas? Get Real.", which is just fine. But I wanted to at least take the opportunity to mention that your input would be valuable, especially since you have some differing equations/priorities.

I am in agreement with Hail Caesari, in that some discussion/debate and some minor tweaks would be my expectation.

Leave them as they are. I don't see any major flaws, and coaches are always free to tweak their own ratings to fit their game.

Whatever you do is fine by me. I am just grateful that they are being done. Makes the game much more interesting.
