+10% or -10% are given to ID or OD, but you have to guess both right. Means a right guess on style (inside or outside) AND speed (slow, normal or fast)

I think its a bit more complicated than that

Lets just use one of the options as an example.

Opponent players Motion (ie: Outside offence)
There are 4 possible scenarios:
You guess Outside = +10%
You don't use the feature at all = 0%
You guess Balanced = -10%
You guess Inside = -15%

I read somewhere that basically, the further you are away from the right answer, the bigger 'penalty'. Im not saying the above percentages are correct, im just highlighting that it might not be a simple as a +/- 10%

Coach and I did a first test.
We played three friendlies during the last weeks. My team was the testing team for defense.
We played all three games at my arena and I had every time almost the same enthusiasm (+/- 0,5).
Before the first game I calculated with the CoachParrot the ratings for OD and ID.
The result was:
OD 5.1 --> in BB 5 (low)
ID 6.0 --> in BB 6 (low)
(68665738) That's also what the boxscore says.

The second game was LI+right GDP.
I guessed Coachs offense right and predicted an ID rating from 6.6. That would be a 6 (high) in BB.
(68671771) My team got a 6 (high) rating in ID.

The third game was again LI. But this time I guessed it wrong.
So I said my opponent would play Outside. I was wrong and received an inside penalty.
I predicted a 5.4 ID rating. This was near the BB rating of 5 (average) --> 5.33
(68680931) Here we have the biggest possible penalty: Outside slow guessed, Inside fast played.

Unfortunatly my team has low ratings, so it's almost impossible for me to say what will happen with "focus right+pace wrong" or "focus wrong+pace right". But I'm pretty sure that the highest bonus is 10% and the lowest -10%. Don't forget that you can boost your defense up to really strong ratings with 4 OD players + 1-3-1 + right GDP. (65403882) Everything over 10% would be extremly overpowerd.

And we still don't know if focus and pace are equally weighted. There was no such information from any of the BBs. As far as I read, Marin said we should find it out by ourselves.
