Hello everybody. I had quite a strange game in the last round. (90885362)
I'm not talking about 24 point 4th quarter lead that slipped away. I was surprised when I saw that the rating of Offensive Flow of my opponent was at the level of Proficient (high). So his 2 starters are on the market, SF that has 8 PA and his C that has 2 PA. Also his SG that is the member of our NT has 8 PA. Except the starting PG all the players are 3K and under. Even if his PG had 20 PA, should be that rating so high?? All my starters had normal PA (the sum of their PA was 39). Also the sub that played on PG/SG position is pretty decent in PA and my team got only normal (low) rating in Offensive Flow. So strange that your opponent might have lower passing skill points overall, but higher rating in the flow (and not only higher but waaaaay higher). One thing might be that it was his PG that could be monster in PA and mine wasnt that great (and in terms of contribution to the rating that might have been the case), but still, it feels pretty strange rating. By the way, I had more assists than my opponent - 27 vs 23.
So any ideas how those rating numbers are determined??

Hello everybody. I had quite a strange game in the last round. (90885362)

The game went into overtime, so all team ratings are higher than they would be normally. I would also guess that his PG has monster passing and that PG is weighted heavily for determining flow, but that is just a guess.

I also guess that has to be the case.

Its clear that my opponents PG had pretty high PA skill, but even if we assume that his PA was around 19-20 and the rest of the team had (8-8-2 that we know for sure and maybe around 5 for the other bench warmer subs), its still too much of a weight in the rating, that itself is also very high and is almost around prominent level. I've had good PGs (and very good supporting cast as well) but still couldnt get to that level of rating. Still remains pretty strange for my how those ratings are calculated. And in contrast i had 4 more passes while the difference in the flow was more than 3 levels. Pretty weird stuff

Other than PG spot, all of my starters had at least 3 more level of PA on all positions. Well, I guess I've got to accept what it is, but still feels iffy about the impact of PG and ratings. When you have more PA skill points overall on your roster and because of one position you end up more than 3 levels lower in flow that doesnt sound fair. Whatsoever, thanks for your replies.

Yes for sure and thats what I'm doing. Since we have feedback in terms of ratings I just found it interesting/strange numbers as I almost knew the skills of my opponent. Well, that is what it is I guess

Hey,
I didn't read all the answers you've got, but I can tell that zone defense improves oponent ofensive flow. And on a slow tempo I guess he used 20+ seconds on each attack to move the ball while your defense was zoned and not pressuring a lot, wich improved it more. But y, his pg must have high passing
Regards

Well, I guess thats the lone explanation of that hiugh rating in flow. His pg must have around 18-20 Pa. (by the way, isnt zone defense, especially outside zones, supposed to lock down passing lanes to prevent the opposition from giving a good pass?)
