Since we're shaking up the player creation process anyway...

Does it make sense to have the baseline for all attributes be 25 instead of 10?

Using this old chart

It looks the average SP cost to hit the next cap is in the ball park of 20 SPs.

Starting at 25 would bring the first cap into this general range and might cut down on low level ridiculous plays like a dot running out of bounds because of low Agility for example.

This idea needs more attention.

I don't hate this especially for catching on non receiver type dots. They should be able to catch some/most of wide open passes.

I don't hate this idea, but I don't particularly love it either, it feels a bit like holding the hands of dot-builders who completely abandon some attributes to pump others. It would be a massive increase in SP per dot, for sure...

I get the hesitation, but in the big picture, it's not like 25 is a "good" score to leave an attribute at.

Even if they were just increased to 20, that would be twice as good as completely worthless and terrible

25 was just a general ballpark of mathyness

I guess I'm not the person to weigh in on this if its main intention is to make rookie ball more sane/watchable, because I would only watch early dots at peril of my life, and I'd likely rather they all run out of bounds periodically to make it more interesting anyway. :shrug:

Not a bad idea. We could have toddlers instead of infants
