Welcome to a new season in a noticably stronger Nations of Europe II.2.
Game 1 last season had 6 teams hitting 100 or higher game rating, this season as shown below there are 8, Apex Legands having the highest score then with 109 which would have been 7th tonight!
Glasgow Raptors, BC Böðvar, Celestia BC, and Revolta Culé, B.C. all had better average player ratings than the bottom 6 in the ESL, and every other team in the other 3 2nd Divisions (Cythreuliaid Conwy came closest with a 12.0).
For any passing new managers who didn't already know I believe Game Rating is calculated by BuzzerManager by how many sub-levels above atrocious-low the combination of outside scoring, inside scoring, outside defense, inside defense, rebounding and offensive flow are at the end of the game.
Efficiency by the way is (Points+Rebounds+Assists+Steals+Blocks−Missed shots−Missed Free Throws-Turnovers).
Lastly, as we are all from BuzzerBeater "micro-nations", don't forget the U21 coach elections are ongoing. These are all tough roles as there will only be so many players to choose from; so whether you want to make sure a candidate from your own nation has control, or have the opportunity to get a known successful manager in charge, put a vote in!
