Oh Parrot, you are so... regressionist!

The "Parrot Dialogues" way of divulgation is a surely hit. Good choice!

Base Offense / Man to Man rely most heavily on the primary skills in all six ratings, and the difference to tactics such as Patient or Push the Ball consists in reducing the influence of the primaries but increasing the importance of the secondaries a little bit - for Patient mostly Handling, for Push to Ball rather Passing.

Maybe that particular example could be "driving" instead of "handling". I'm thinking that since those two skills have a correlated training (about 70%) the regression might see handling instead of driving. Or they have similar coefficients but handling a little bit higher? (wich is my assumption here)

a general guideline to the team-ratings: Handling top, Driving flop


Could not be possible that the regression tell you that because, I have the sense(not measured yet), general *external* training seems to improve more handling than driving?. So, maybe, in this kind of situations the regression shows you that handling is more important while maybe driving might be the *real* answer. (I'm thinking that this is something to consider when talking about offensive ratings and not for offensive flow, where probably handling being more important than driving is right, in the regression and in the original calculation).

This argument can be easily decided by how well the Parrot works. I myself just cannot wait, waiting in agony for the continuation ;)
Cheers, Exos

Parrots: There is a clear distinction between primary and secondary skills for each of the six ratings, with primary skills typically up to ten times more important than the secondaries. Base Offense / Man to Man rely most heavily on the primary skills in all six ratings, and the difference to tactics such as Patient or Push the Ball consists in reducing the influence of the primaries but increasing the importance of the secondaries a little bit - for Patient mostly Handling, for Push to Ball rather Passing.

I am intrigued to say the least. How many skills, primary and secodnary, do you think affect the defensive tactic?


Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
