EHM The Blue Line

I understand the CA and PA but what determines the chance of the player reaching his PA? Just getting properly coached/playing time? I ask mainly because of the draft and other scouting activities as they rank playings high when their PA may be in the 130's and other people ranked much lower are 150+. Is this just the games way of not completely cookie cutter telling you who's good and not? Or are there other reasons why players with poor PA are still better prospects?

You determine how the PA/CA relates and increase/decrease the chance of a player reaching his high PA as his CA.


DEVELOPMENT...what you do with the player within your team as manager/coach.

Practice, linemates, line combos, success, yada yada yada

I mean what did you think it was? Random?
