Jumping right into the final chapter
Final Quickness: raw Base Quickness +/- (live def aware - live off aware)
Jordan's def and off awareness are both the same so no change. 79/89.
Malone had a Live Defensive awareness of 87, - his Live Offensive awareness of 92 = -5, as thats a negative we take 5 away from his raw Quickness of 67, which leaves us 62/81.
Jumping: The average of raw Quickness + Raw Strength + (draft year - 1900).
Jordan had a Quickness of 79, + Strength of 61, + he was drafted in 84, = 224, divided by 3 = 75. As he's afro-american we add 10 to bring us up to 85/92.
Malone had a Quickness of 62, + strength 87 + draft year 85, = 234, divide by 3 = 78, + 10 = 88/94.
Note: This tends to favor big men and some increadably athletic players, this is so the 7-footers block more shots than the shorties.
Note 2: No one seemed to mind that "white folk" lose 10 in quickness, so I also don't give them a bonus of 10 here either.
Dunking: The average of raw jumping + raw Inside Scoring.
Jordan had 85 Jumping, + 88 Inside = 173, halved it = 87/93.
Malone's Jumping was 88, + 88 inside, = 176, divided by 2 is obviously 88/94.
Note: This will give smaller players a decent Dunk rating, even if they can't dunk. As noted in my Dunking Genome a player with a Dunk Package of 1, 2, or 3 cannot dunk, no matter what his Dunking Rating is. In the case of these players this rating decides how often the player attempts a layup, and how often it goes in. This is a good thing for players like John Stockton, who went from a 50 to a 81.
Overall: I simply load up the roster with the created/edited player in the game, select edit player in the Roster Management screen, open Edit Ratings, close it without making any changes, and the game calculates the Overall for me.
He ain't the strongest player, he won't block as many shots as Mutombo, he hasn't yet developed his three-point shot, but at 96 overall he's the highest ranked player I've created. It's Michael Jordan.
Karl Malone is no slouch himself, ranking in at a solid 91.
