Thank you for bringing me up to speed. Does that apply to attribute ratings as well? If so, then a 60 rating and a 40 rating in should imply performance in the associated metric that is equally better or worse, respectively, than league average, with the scale being (uni)linear rather than the split linear scales previously used. A standard deviation of a given population or sample trait is, by definition, “standard”. This does not seem possible for the absolute scale with its long left tail, but perhaps it would be a feature of league-relative attribute ratings. It will be interesting to learn what the expected stats in the current league function reveals about this. Anyway, thanks again for the information quoted above.
