Does anyone know for which point in time in a game the team ratings (not matchup ratings) are calculated? I can see the following options:

1. At the begining of the game, based on the starting lineup
2. At the end of the game, based on the final lineup
3. Avereage value over the game

I think that I can rule out 2, and that 3 is more likely to be used than 1, however I am not sure and I cannot find anything about this in the rules.

Edit: Clarified that I am wondring about the team ratings

since it's sorted by position, i believe that all players that played in the position during the game are considered.

If your starting PG was 10-20 FG, and your backup 2-5, and your reserve 1-4, the game calculates to the match ratings a PG with 13-29 FG.

Sorry I can see that i was unclear, what I meant was the team ratings and not the matchup ratings (so using the term match rating was not that clever...).

The reason I am wondering is that every time I played my best lineup this far the starting lineup has rested the last quarter, i.e. if an average is used for calculating team rating I should be able to produce better ratings if the game is even.

I've always thought it's the average value. Proof is, if your star player get hurt or has foul trouble, the team ratings suffer from it because a lesser player plays more minutes, even if said star player is in the starting lineup or he's in at the end of the game.

I always thought the ratings were a bunch of baloney. For example: my last game (6154862) I scored 76% of my points from the guard position (granted some were dunks and inside shots) and shot 51% combined between the guards (35% from 3) and still had a higher rating in Inside Scoring. I guess if it only measures players skills and not stats it would make a little more sense because I am slightly weighted towards inside scoring. I also am 90% sure my opponent has very good inside defense which could explain some of the disparity between inside scoring skill and inside scoring stats.

Anyways, that was my ramble, don't put too much stock in the ratings in my opinion stats are king.

Sounds good to me. AsI do not have any clear star player and everytime I play my best lineup they have rested out the last quarter I have very little to compare with...

I see nothing wrong with the interpretation of ratings for this game. What you don't take into account is that the other team had a much higher rating in inside defense. Both teams take part in the game, you know ;)

No I did take that into account as shown in the last sentence of the first paragraph.

I think the disparity between the two should not justify the point differential received.

No, but the superior individual quality of his players should. Check his player ratings
