I am also a bit surprised I haven't been able to find a 12 skill with no reputation, as the rest of the skills seem to overlap a small amount. Updated Saturday, July 16 2016 @ 3:14:53 pm PDT

So that guy who is excellent at developing players but is only showing a 10, is actually performing at the level of a 16 (or whatever he actually is). 3) I would replace him.

I also wonder if the excellent range is actually as large as you originally posted. Is it possible that those guys at 13 in excellent development might not be done?

It seems like it takes a bit longer than 4 seasons for the full reveal. By 5 full seasons your manager should be fully revealed. Updated Saturday, September 24 2016 @ 2:08:32 pm PDT

Do the managers skills reveal gradually throughout the year, or is there an update at the end of each season that reveals more information? I'm pretty sure I'm going to fire my current manager, but I would like to have a better idea of just how good his player development will be before I do that.

But that's just their numbers that are revealed: their actual abilities stay true from day one. So if your manager turns out to have a 17 Development, he'll be developing players at that 17 skill from the beginning. Excellent development guys are highly sought-after, but yeah I'd be looking to improve on those other skills.

These comments were made as recently as the change to managers to have them drop at any time rather than once a season. So i wouldn't overthinking it too much. It can probably get you to the end of development a week faster or win you 1-2 more games a season, but in general i would think that a lot of the teams performance is on the team you built and not the coach based on what limited information he has given us.
