That's not true.Defensive performance plays a big role in player ratings, and that generally isn't quantified in a boxscore.
performance on the pitch
Correct, it's whatever the performance was.
Thanks. I gather the opposing team players' performance doesn't influence them too, right?
And about team ratings - do they depend solely on your players' skills and your tactics or "performance" (some random factor) plays a role? Also, are they influenced by the opposing team's ratings and tactics?
And the last question (sorry there are so many of them), are attitude, home court advantage, more playing time (OTs) reflected in team ratings?
