I.e. Is the rate to go from say 60-70% the same as the rate from 90-100?
I don't know why I am spacing out on this but figured I'd ask rather than dig for the answer.

Does the rate of a change increase the closer a player gets to 100% at a position?I.e. Is the rate to go from say 60-70% the same as the rate from 90-100?

to be honest, if it's going changed it would make more sense for the larger improvement increments to be at the beginning at the process than the end.

it's static, so far as I can recall.to be honest, if it's going changed it would make more sense for the larger improvement increments to be at the beginning at the process than the end.

I feel like it gets much faster once they hit 90% or so, but it's just a guess. I probably ignore the guys with red letter at a position and play them without concern.Thanks.

Regardless I think the whole positioning grid needs to be dramatically overhauled, from assigned positions at drafting, to minor league switches and major league improves. ABE often assigns players with horrible defensive skills to key positions when drafted then uses some vague algorithm involving range and chicken bones to have them make minor league improves. Once a player gets to the majors though, regardless of skill they progress to any new position in a linear manner.
To my mind players should be assigned position ranges in the draft, ie: middle (C, 2B, SS, CF) or corner (1B,3B,LF,RF) or some such, with a date by which they must be assigned a position, say age 21 or 3 years after the draft. If a player is not assigned a position by his owner before his "due date" ABE will assign one from within the player's range. I also think teenage players should learn new positions much faster than 20 somethings .
Also I don't understand why ABE feels that learning 3B is like discovering the holy grail, 3B is dead easy.......I should know I spent much of my playing career there, when I wasn't catching, all it really takes is good reaction time and a strong arm.

I think rationally there should be slow improvement in the beginning, as they are learning something "new", then once they hit say 30-40% the rate increases dramatically as they have picked up the basics then slows again at about 90% as they need to work hard to "master" the position.Regardless I think the whole positioning grid needs to be dramatically overhauled, from assigned positions at drafting, to minor league switches and major league improves.

I stuck an A plus range 1B at ss all last season. He stared at 60 ish percent. He won the MVP and finished at 75%. I re-signed him and was hoping he'd be a better SS sooner rather than later. Oh well.http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=11160926
