Player Attributes

Players have 16 attributes, some are position-specific, some are general-purpose. Each attribute directly affects the way each player moves, reacts, and behaves on-screen.

Each attribute is a normalized value (0.0-1.0); in practice a player will never be a 1.0 or a 0.0 in any category, but having the extra headroom is useful.

I'll come up with specific formulas for each of these soon.
