Han behöver ta in 63 poäng, kan bli lite väl tufft med tanke på att Kicks inte har ngt att förlora och 1N lär spela TIE.

Vad är det du inte gillar med matchbetygen?

Well what are the team ratings anyway? They are an attempt by the BBs to summarize the workings of the game engine over the course of a game, and how this will depend on the skills of all the players used by a team. The team ratings present this summary as a set of six values. From all that we know about the complexity of the game engine, it is clear that with six numerical values you can only give a highly abstract summary. What's more, the BBs had to define the way the team ratings are calculated quite early on, and I'm sure if they had to design this today, knowing everything they have learnt about their own game engine by now, the result would look different. All the team ratings can do - and this is not little - is to give us a glimpse at what the BBs thought in 2007 would be the determining factors for team performance. A glimpse into that huge brain of Princeton-trained, human BBs.

Ditt lag får flera betyg varje match. Dessa lagbetyg används i uträkningen av vad som händer vid varje bollinnehav.

Your team also receives several ratings per match. These team ratings are used in the calculation of what happens each possession. Here is a synopsis:

* Outside Scoring, Defense: Both guards weighted heavily, small forward medium, power forward slightly.

* Inside Scoring, Defense: Center weighted heavily, power forward somewhat heavily, small forward medium.

* Rebounding: Center and power forward weighted heavily, small forward somewhat heavily, both guards medium.

* Offensive Flow (how well the offense produces assists, avoids turnovers): point guard weighted very heavily, shooting guard weighted medium, small forward weighted medium.

the zonal ratings I think could be improved/changed. they are an attempt to summarize the various skills of the players you put on the court.. but its not like the game engine actually uses those values... the game engine considers individual matchups and individual skills for each shot individually, not an average over the whole game.

5) Team ratings are not used by the game engine code, and they really only tell a very incomplete story. For instance some skills seem to be absent from the computation of all six team ratings, which doesn't mean that they won't have an impact in actual games.
