Curious how the rarity system works, the most obvious players i could think of for today's still say "rare". Also a shame it's limited to current players. Very cool though!
It's simply calculating how many times a player has been picked from all possible players. If 100 users made their pick and 25 picked LeBron you'd get 75 points. The tier system is using these percentages, but needs to be tuned to be somewhat realistic.
As there aren't many users I need to initialize the guess_counts with historical data, which isn't perfect. It distributes the guess counts a bit too equal, so that almost each pick is "rare" in the end.
Also factoring in is that currently almost only some friends of mine play the game, all of them basketball nerds. They rather pick some random guy from the end of the bench instead of players like Lebron, Curry or Westbrook.
I'm still tuning that part, just made changes to it yesterday.
Regarding historical data: that was a decision I made in the beginning. Allowing players from other times would've made the game logic much more complex.
There's another nba grid game similar to mine that uses historical data (i found out after NBAGrid was mostly finished). I'm on mobile, can't easily link right now.
