That's the issue, most people don't use the resources at hand. If I PM'd Jack, or is someone PMs me, it usually may take a couple days, but we give thought out answers to help people. Jack and I discussed all of this over and over. The reason Vidrik was a top-5 player for so long is that he had high strength to not change his percentages, and maintained a healthy spread on the attributes that affected the formula.

But instead of getting a PM saying, how do I build better? What does this mean? Etc. I get only PMs saying how someone thinks they're always right, and they should score more or their build is wrong. Or the occasional, change the sim so I score more, because of course most people don't feel they should change. They want the sim to be straightforward.

Of course you don't need this attribute or that attribute to guarantee a good career. Some players have lower strength and get in the right line and do well. Some players have everything up and the wrong linemates. Sometimes it's a string of bad luck or good luck. It happens. Different attributes help in a lot of different ways. It's hard to build a great player here, but strength is the one attribute I have seen most often help people and be important as possible.

It makes sense that its also about lines but then at the same time, if you're building a role player (say a shutdown center who passes a lot but doesn't shoot at all) then you really need to be paired with a pure sniper but then the other guy might not care about that and he also focuses on defense way too much when he should be a role player to fill out the line. There are so many variables to these things.

And is it really worth responding to people who think they're just right and that's it?
