Not sure if be a gm and gm connected differ as far as players growth, but I have a few questions.
First, anyone know what these players tend to grow to:
Schiefele (c prospect), Petan (c prospect), Morrisey (d prospect) and Mueller (san jose d man), Nedeljkovic (goalie from draft)
Also, as far as players growth, is this just random? I know potential is there, but they don't always gain overall and such (lower overall players). Say a 65 overall 18 year old 4 green star player, would you just leave him in juniors and hope he grows? Would it matter if he was signed or unsigned? If you gave a younger guy 65-75 overall a little playing time in the NHL and got some points, would that help?
BAGM and GM Connected are dramatically different in player growth.
The link ToppsSmith provided to the data I've logged is down, unfortunately. Problem with the host for the website. Hopefully it'll be back up this weekend.
The current averages I have collected over 20 seasons of GMC are:
1.0 red = 57 OVR (105 samples)
1.0 yellow = 57 OVR (261 samples)
1.0 green = 59 OVR (5 samples)
1.5 red = 61 OVR (97 samples)
1.5 yellow = 64 OVR (363 samples)
1.5 green = 70 OVR (9 samples)
2.0 red = 67 OVR (60 samples)
2.0 yellow = 69 OVR (162 samples)
2.0 green = 74 OVR (1 sample)
2.5 red = 69 OVR (851 samples)
2.5 yellow = 72 OVR (683 samples)
2.5 green = 76 OVR (121 samples)
3.0 red = 74 OVR (308 samples)
3.0 yellow = 76 OVR (429 samples)
3.0 green = 80 OVR (34 samples)
3.5 red = 79 OVR (115 samples)
3.5 yellow = 81 OVR (230 samples)
3.5 green = 84 OVR (72 samples)
4.0 red = 81 OVR (37 samples)
4.0 yellow = 82 OVR (157 samples)
4.0 green = 85 OVR (53 samples)
4.5 red = 84 OVR (11 samples)
4.5 yellow = 86 OVR (90 samples)
4.5 green = 90 OVR (6 samples)
5.0 red = No data
5.0 yellow = 92 OVR (1 sample)
5.0 green = 98 OVR (2 samples)
When the website is back up, hopefully later today, I'll be adding another season of data to it and the thread will have typical OVR ranges as well as minimum and maximum OVRs. Once I've completed all 25 seasons in my test league, I'll also be posting graphs for each potential rating.
