Yeah I did sort of think maybe stopping at 26. You can sign free agents anyway so if people want certain players still by that point or want more depth then they may sign away if they so wish.
4 injuries* (8 men benches) Yeah let's go for 28 so we have 5 reserves at least. Also in terms of player's ratings and progression I was thinking of posting like a letter rating system (A+, A etc.) for skills (so you don't actually know the exact rating but you'd have a general fair idea) overall ratings in RC2 are useless and don't mean anything as they're not very good indicators of how good players are for certain positions (it takes in account all skills no matter what position) Thoughts??? There'll be training type sessions you'll get to set for certain players which will help players improve in areas (some faster than others)
Not at all. The ratings need big adjustments. McCaw for example has 89 speed.....(which would be to inflate his overall rating) Nic White is rated like 43......and so on and so on. Will most likely use someone else's edited roster and then just edit anything from there if one comes up soonish. Otherwise I'll do it myself. So nah they won't be at any advantage at all since most players will change.
