with 70-75 being average, it's seems like the majority of players are different degree's of bad and very bad instead or average and above average.. strange design
Players are either "Heathers" or they're not. lol (80s movie reference)
70s are average but you can't just look at the player's overall rating since lets say he's a WR and has 20 speed but 100 pass catching and 100 route running. It's a skewed rating since you wouldn't want a WR with such bad speed.
Pour through these boards for tons of nuggets and info and I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly.
Example, for a QB you want high end intelligence, accuracy, arm strength and then make sure his field of vision and look off defense is 80+ and his fumble rating is 30 ish+ since very low will have you lose games left and right. Each position archtype has certain areas you need elite ratings in and other spots you can punt.
