[Sharkn20]

Combine accuracy set to 70

[Sharkn20]

Plenty WRs in this class....

What is the combine correlation Bradz??

[Matt]

Only 12 interviews now...interesting. I really need to play some SP to get more into this game.

The draft class is so deep two of my scouts drowned.

We must need to know the combine correlatiom Boss!!

What are combine correlations?

[sawblade300]

Hoping there is at least one starting QB in the bunch. Have to replace 100 year old Mickey Baines. I don't think he can make it through another season. At least, not without a cane or a walker.

[Sharkn20]

What are combine correlations?

Are the correlations between combine and real potential...

For example a WR who rans a 4.32 in the 40 yard dash could have 100 or 75 Big play receiver if combine correlation is set to 75% or between 100 - 50 if correlation is 50%. That WR had an excellent combine day if his real potential is 55 BPR 55 or example and you will lose a Top-5 pick.

Instead a WR who ran a 4.41 could finish with a 100 BPR (if his bar once interviewed shows it) and he had a bad day in the combine... lot of this situations happened each year in the real NFL!!

A lot important diference.

Anyone with experience in other leagues want to chime in with what the "standard" setting is?

Standard is 50, but is a poor standard, for example in the FFL we´re set at 75 very close under our opinion to F2K7.

I´ll happy with 75 here in the OSFL too! But will accept any!!

[Sharkn20]

Be carefull drafting players who looks one thing and bars are other... Just an example in my 1st SP league:

1º) I picked CB Axel Leddet with the #32 overall pick (50 Combine correlation set at this point, now I´m playing with 75 like in the FFL)

Looks like around 45/50 CB with endurance problem who can handle one on one coverages easily and good hands... Fine for me to play in the slot and back-up starters, and a big hitter who can cause fumbles as well as he can do press-coverage... (You can see his Analize Bars and Combines) Remeber that 50 combine correlation.

2º) After years of evolution he ends in 37/37, you can see his evolution in #2 Pick and his final bars in #3 Pick.

3º) Check his stats in the #4 Pick playing mostly in Cover-2 with the 2nd WR or playing in the slot, also he only forced 4 Fumbles in his entire career... He´s a 4th or 5th round value... But I picked him at the end of the 1st due his combines (he´ve a monster day at Indianapolis before the Draft)....

Absoluty Bust for me, I kept him during 5 seasons wating a bump but never came so I release him in this year 5th week to create space for a new player...
So pick combines, bars and interviews all together before take a decision! NOW DRAFT IS A LOT MORE HARD!!

Feel free to discuss that pick and enjoy sharing with us your experiences! We need to learn together!

Perhaps that SOL score was indicative of the fact he was likely going to hit the low end of his rating capabilities.

I'm surprised he didn't get back up over 40 at some point, especially after that big bump in rookie camp. Could that be your scout? Meaning, he is over 40 but your scout is viewing him lower because he kinda stinks?

I'm actually a bit surprised you cut him. Seemed good enough to keep around (in a mp league).

Check his stats, 3 consecutive years under 73 Pdpct... unacceptable if you want to be competitive!!

He underperform his ratings, or maybe the sistem that I used is bad for him, you know that in this game, are players adapted to the system mostly.

No scouts in this game all coaches contribute to tell you the ratings of players, (OC / DC have special importance telling it in Offensive / Defensive players) maybe he was over 40 sometime, in his 5 Interception´s year campaign (also his first contract year, so he played well to earn a paycheck?? I don´t know if that kind of psych could be there, but I saw it frecuently...)

Good point that SOL rating, nice observation man, probably as a Dime-Back, or just for Cohesion, but I need that spot and other DBs was playing better than him, or my system fit well better for they.

Sorry, I said scout even though I meant coaches. Perhaps scouting is a better way to put it.

Maybe he worked best as a starting CB in base playing M2M and then you pull him for dime and nickel when playing more cover. He sucks in cover. Like, a lot.
