1. can you change the ratings style after starting a career? I am using 1-10 but curious how 1-100 would be
2 how do you view a pbp log after the game? I have yet to find them.

1. No you can't change it because the game already calculated the ratings for who you already have scouted or seen in the game

2. There is not a pbp log but its on the list of things to do in another version

I'm using 1-100 because I enjoy player development more than any other aspect of sports sims. It is much easier to see improvement (or not) with 1-100. The 1-10 scale doesn't change all that much and left me head scratching too much of the time.

I agree , i have always used 1-100 in cb, because player development can be slow at times and the 1-10 scale doesn't really reflect what is actually going on.

I should say player development is slow ALL the time and a 1-10 scale NEVER really tells you what is going on!

Could the ability to switch between the 1-10 and 1-100 scales be added in future versions anyway? The game recalculates ratings periodically, and I personally would not mind waiting a few in-game months for the changes to take effect.

Also, right now the game's default setting when creating a new association is to use the 1-10 scale. Perhaps the default setting should be the 1-100 scale instead. Like CoachC and Your_Imaginary_Friend, I prefer to use the 1-100 scale as well. A default selection of the 1-100 scale may reflect the preference of the majority of DDS:CB's players.

This will be a great addition!

While I prefer SOME info about players (therefore not liking "limited ratings"), I prefer the greater ambiguity "1-10 ratings" provides as compared to "1-100 ratings". But it's good the game provides options since game players differ so much.

While I have no idea how many use each ratings option, the majority of players may well not be using 1-100. Making the ratings option changeable during the course of an association''s run would be a nice thing if it's easy to do, but I think there are many other changes/improvements that are more worthwhile Gary spending any considerable time and effort on.

From this thread alone there appears to be a 3-1 majority in favor of the 1-100 ratings system, but if we include everyone who plays the game, the truth may be that there is, say, a 361-548 majority in favor of the 1-10 scale. (I have no clue how many people play DDS:CB)

I agree wholeheartedly!

Yes, the majority of game owners never post here so who knows how many use which rating system.

I use 1-10.
