I see what your saying, There is no such thing as clutch, and I see how your worried this is the same thing. I heard someone else mention in a different discussion it should have been a confidence rating which I think is closer to being the right way to define it. Confidence is the factor that makes people perform or not. theres no such thing as clutch, but there is such a thing as Clutch minus, follow me for a sec. people that they talk about being clutch dont perform better in those situations, they perform as they normally would in any other situation, however many people perform worse when the pressure is on, thus giving the impression that the others are clutch. I think confidence would be the way to adress this, people that perform poorly in 'clutch' situations do so because they tense up, get nervous and are afraid to fail in a big spot. Guys that are more confident tend to play up to their talent regardless of situation. I know what your saying, and I don't know if this was the right way to do it or not, but there is a small part of the game that cant be broken down into pure numbers, so I think that there needs to be at least an attempt to recreate that. If it turns out not to be the best way I'm sure it will be worked on for next years game.
