Adding potential was a completely different ballgame than adding a skill that effects ingame performance.

Unless the trait only applies to new players?

How would that impact older players? You have to consider whether or not it would make new players better or worse than the old crop. I cant see Buzzerbeater adding a new skill to only old players as that would cause unforseen effects to the transfer market.

And in every action the game engine works by comparing certain skills of player A to certain skills of player B.
If player A has an athleticism skill and player B doesn't, there's nothing to compare.

That's mainly why I think it's not gonna happen.

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

I said that the new skills would only apply to new players (so those in the next draft for example). It would not apply to players already in the system. It is similar to how potential works, players already in existence got a particular cap (all the same). And new players got different potential - some lower and some higher.

In saying that, I don't want to see another skill added to players. I'm just saying that it is possible to do it in such a way as to not disrupt things too much.

I think adding something that effects ingame performance in the same manner that potential was added that does not effect ingame performance would have entirely different results.

Why dont call it crowd-pleasing attribute. With every action in the game there are a roll to see if the player will try a crowd pleasing action. If the player decide to take such a action like a 360, behind the back pass or some amazing ankle breaker the difficulty increases quite a bit. there are no in game advantage of doing this but having a lot of successful crowd-pleasing actions will sell more tickets and increase merchandise.

Apart from the players attribute the game situation greatly affect the chances for a crowd-pleasing action. The team that are fighting to get back in the game wont attempt any such actions, while leading by 30 will greatly increase this kind of actions.

Pros: Teams might not throw games as easily as they do now.

Cons: Dominant teams might get even greater advantages from other teams not puting up a fight.

That sounds interresting. Something like level of exhibicionism. Actions done by these could be more liked for the eye of the crowd, but there would be stronger chance to fail... you know focusing on the attractivity of the game means these can end up with bad results.

So you will have a chance of making a few extra bucks, while risking the outcome of the game.
