A way to download my player attributes into a database file so I can save them and work out how my players are developing. I'd gladly make an Open Office database setup to share with everyone that would import such a file for your team and allow you track development. However I need to get the info out of the game in a database file at a point of my choosing, not all of it in league export fashion.
Change the Basketball overall ratings to be meaningful. I'm a bit harsh here, however the current system in this game is much too random and inaccurate. Often I look at other teams and see they have 2-3 starters listed as 3.5/4.0 and when I compare them to my 2.0/2.5 starters, the skill level of my guys is often better. Which is a head scratcher. Also, I often see my players actual skill levels rise but their Basketball levels drop. My most irritating and frustrating occurrence of this was a my Center who came in 3.5/4.0 and top 100 recruit. He proceeded to be Freshman of the Year with great stats. He bumped more than any other player I've ever had in his Sophomore year attributes. And so of course his basketball rating dropped from 3.5/4.0 to 1.5/2.5 and the AI plugged him in as a bench player. Future ratings can change, sometimes dramatically, however the current overall level of basketballs should not drop when every attribute has gone up (and performance is there, too).
When I scout other teams, they ALWAYS have 3.5/4.0 guys starting and no one ever has a team of 2.0/2.5 guys starting, like I do. Yet I win easily against these teams. This issue makes it hard to scout opponents beyond who has the highest SCORING and DEFENSE attributes on the other team.
I think the current level of basketballs should always be the truth, that is, 100 percent accurate, withe future growth being the unknown. And potential can fall dramatically, too. If player comes in 1.5/4.5 and barely improves in attributes, his potential should drop from 4.5. If, for example this player came in and played Okay (nothing special) and his attributes barely moved, his next rating might be 2.0/2.5 thus showing he is a decent sub but not likely to be a starter until he's a Senior, at best.
The Scoring rating is heavily weighted in the Overall Rating which I've never liked. Case in point, a player like Draymond Green
