It's not up to just certain people to put information out because in all honesty nobody has any fucking idea outside of what the manual says, and there have been several several times the general consensus of what "should" be a great build has been proven entirely wrong. People can say they know based on what the manual says but that doesn't factor in the randomness of the sim. I've built my player according to what all these knowledgable sim guys have said and see little to no improvement over what I normally build. Don't read too much into what the manual says because I guarantee you, if you do you're going to end up frustrated. The most important attribute in STHS is one we can't update, it's randomness. It's why the number one seed is CONSTANTLY getting knocked out by number 4 seed, mediocre teams are the ones always winning the cups and very few players are consistently at the top of the leaderboards and the others are a revolving door of ransoms. No matter what you do to your build its a crap shoot.

My rookie season I scored 40 points despite only having like 500 TPE. I didn't hit 40 points again for like 7 seasons despite more than doubling my TPE for instance

I understand that but at the same time its not fun when the thing is so random because you don't start getting consistent until around 1000 TPE and it takes a LONG TIME to accumulate that much TPE and then by that time, you're probably in season 7-8 and your player will in total last for maybe 10-12 seasons?

And yeah, we'll never truly know because obviously the guy isn't going to tell how the sim works because then he'd lose his intellectual property and there wouldn't be any more point to it. I'm still going to continue building my player but at the same time its not always going to be fun when you feel like you're improving but your player just isn't progressing anywhere because the sim is random.
