Fielding ratings
It does not appear that the fielding ratings included in CSV and SQL dumps are related directly to data in the database files. I am referring specifically to the following fields in the CSV dumps:
fielding_rating_pos1
fielding_rating_pos2
fielding_rating_pos3
fielding_rating_pos4
fielding_rating_pos5
fielding_rating_pos6
fielding_rating_pos7
fielding_rating_pos8
fielding_rating_pos9
Are these calculated fields? I have figured out how the values that show up in the CSV dumps are mapped from the players.dat file, but I can't find a logical place in the record structure for these rating fields. It seems to me like there must be some kind of calculatons for each position where the component ratings are combined in some way and then scaled based on the experience value. For example, every non-zero value for fielding_rating_pos is accompanied by a positive falue for the corresponding experience field.
I'm wondering if I'm on the right track. I don't have anything against doing a little modeling to derive these values if I need to, but I would hate to travel too far down the wrong path if my assumptions are incorrect.
