I like the idea of the award, I don't quite like the change of the potential.
I think ROY could "just" boost merchandise and maybe ticket selling (and add a trophy to your team) and that would be enough for me.


+1

I think the more challenging component would be deciding on the criteria to determine who wins the award...

I think that for the criteria we could just use the same system already in place for MVP, but restrict it only to 18-19yo rookies.
I don't really know how to MVP voting/choice works in detail, but I think it would be easy for the developers to just use that at the beginning.

I think a boost in skill % could work. Mvp should be given more experience . Nothing game breaking though.very lite touch.

I think it would be such a great idea to have this ROTS award!

I don't think that boosting a +1 in a potential value would be so OP, keep in mind that a lot of teams would "compete" for the ROTS award and only 1 rookie in each league would see this +1 pop.

It could also be something nice to fight for if you are a team that is going to miss the playoffs.

I think the 'Roy' award is a great idea

. The 'Potential' attribute change is tricky. Maybe increasing the skills of the player slightly or the experience slightly instead?

The current 'Potential' system could potentially damage the game if they do potentials. If a player develops into an all-time great, the market could get out of control. U18 and Nt as well

Maybe implement a system:

ROTS gets +2 if potential 1 to 6.
ROTS gets +1 if potential 7 to 8.
ROTS gets no potential upgrade if potential is MVP+, but will get +2 in a random skill or something like that.

So it would be worthwhile to compete for ROTS with players of all potential levels. And would make players with good starting skills but bad potential worth training. I‘ve drafted a couple of players that I‘d have liked to train longer it potential was better.

One could also make it a rule that the ROTS-award can only go to a player that has been drafted and not transfered, thus only giving one player of the draft in every league the possibility to improve the potential/ or skills.
