I am shopping on the TL for a new player and some of the player rating scores I am seeing are really confusing me. I was looking at some players who have salaries of around $15,000, which is almost three times what my highest paid player now is making, and I noticed that this guys player ratings averaged around a 9.0. This seems really strange to me considering some of my $5,000 salaried players score an 8.0 at times. I don't understand how this is possible considering the $15,000 guys skills are unbelievably better than my $5,000 guy?

There are a lot of factors here which could be:

1. Stamina. If the player has low stamina then his rating will be lower as he is unable to play well for long stretches.
2. Enthusiasm. Playing with higher enthusiasm, your players play a little better
3. Salary doesn't always tell the whole story. For all I know that 15k player could be something like 15 JS and 2 OD. Having one skill ahead of others inflates their salary extensively.
4. Position. Depending what position they play, ratings will be different. E.g. If you play a C at C he might get a 9 but playing him out of position at PG, and he will get a 3.5 if he can't shoot and pass.

PG P. Grbeš 9 1 - 2 0 - 0 2 - 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 1 4 15.5

from our last national team game...
your 6. doesn't make much sense

6. minutes played, less minutes played = better chance of getting a high rating

That ties back to stamina. If your player has high stamina, he can play well for longer period of time.

Totally untrue.

I have had specialist players (def specialist) play that do not take many shots and still get very good ratings. In fact, I don't want them to take many shots (kinda like Ben Wallace of NBA). Excellent defense but you wouldn't want to gamble on him taking shots.

Another huge factor you need to consider is the level of competition. So a player playing against a bot will have an inflated rating, while a player that is playing up a few divisions may have a lower rating.

7. How well they defended the guy they were guarding. This has a huge effect when comparing blokes from different leagues.

So if you took a guy from league III and had him play in league V his player rating would probably go up significantly because of the competition
