2- Freshman
3- Senior
4- Sophomore
5- Rookie
6- Novice
7- Greenhorn
8- Journeyman
9- Veteran
10- Master
11- Elder
12- Guru
13- Ancient
14- Saint
15- Relic

Greenhorn! I was going to post that, but you were quicker. Old Shatterhand rocks!

1- Junior
2- Freshman
3- Senior
4- Sophomore
5- Rookie

Those ones are not a good idea since they're attached to a certain number of years played: a five seasons veteran called rookie because of is level of experience would be... Unpleasant.

I´d love to see experience increasing at a higher speed in lower levels also, but that´s a different story.

I mixed the low levels up as they are american insiders I stand corrected there, but given the way players are actually used I still think they are to some degree appropriate. Only a few teams consist of veteran+ players only, and that´s actually how it is in real life. There´s like 300 NBA veterans all over the world in like 100,000 organized pro and semi-pro league players. Should fit in fine with the situation here in BB.

Actually, most German BBL 6th - 8th rotation guys hardly have more "experience" under their belt than american college seniors ...

Guru is also highly religiously connotated, not sure why "Guru" should be treated different from saint. Maybe Legend suits better?

Maybe "Icon" instead of Saint may be a better fit if you´re willing to avoid the religious context.

How about "Legend" as the highest label?

sounds too much like the "legendary" skill in players' skills (ex: Legendary IS)

Yeah, it may be misunderstood. I didn't mean "legend" as in "legendary, out-of-this world player", I meant more in the sense of "that guy your grandfather used to talk about".
