Understanding Overall Ratings

[NateDogPack12]

Hey, all: When I get started w/ a team, I want to quickly weigh the overall quality of my players. Even if I choose 1-100 ratings scale, the overall rating in the far right column is still listing a 1-10 number with a "/" followed by another number. I'm ASSUMING this is their overall rating on a 1-10 scale with their maximum potential, but I'm just not sure. Can someone explain to me what the overall column represents? Thanks.

The overall rating ranges from 0.5 to 5.0. It's the same as the number of basketballs you see for that player in the player card heading. It is an approximation and is the evaluation of your coaching staff so it's subject to some error depending on the quality of your coaches and the amount of time they have been able to become familiar with each player. So it could go up or down from season to season.
