well .. i guess that's all the examples i can think of too... meaning.. all the examples of where i could factor speed in seem to be sort of special case examples.. where speed sort of sounds like a very general sort of skill. None of the other skills..save maybe shot blocking are really that specialized...

i also seem problems with adding skills.. but this is a beta.. we are trying to see if the ball can roll.. and if something dramatic has to happen which is unfair to original users in order to make things significantly better I'm don't think we can rule it out. Transitioning out of beta to me means exactly that this is no longer true.. and irness becomes a dominant consideration.

oh FWIW we have something like 600 users that have logged in in the last 5 days... whether that is an active representation of the size of the community i don't know.. but its 6x more since we let everyone sign up about a month ago.

I am also against adding new skills. even now on the best testing. Simply because i think we have an already big set of skills. And different people will always be able to come up with several different new skills that they think are relevant.

I am very satisfied with the current set of skills, and so far i believe most people are too.

(and by the way Domenico, i know d-wade is awesome, but if you are going to mention a fast player, you should start with THE FASTEST: LEANDRINHO BARBOSA)

I would think that the speed and quickness of the player would be incorporated into the handling, driving, outside defense aspects of the player.

In addition, I don't know if it has been brought up, and I hate to use HT examples, but has there been any discussion into creating "specialties", such as quickness, vertical jump, unpredictability (like Ron Artest maybe-severe mood changes and impact on form), etc.?

That would allow the basic attributes to remain, but allow for the introduction at a later date of specialties.....

Just a thought...and see, I didn't say anything negative!!
