Sorry for the subject of the topic but really every season it's harder to understand every single match. Today I've lost this match (10719609), the problem is not the defeat, the real problem was the 1 vs 1 of the PF. My PF has 10 times more the salary of his PF and he sucks like a kid playing minibaskek against Larry Bird, how it is possible? After that it's really IMPOSSIBLE to understand how improve your team if MR are not realiables and the TRs are simply some lines written. Check this match: (10719600), MR for me, TR for him, don't you think something is wrong?
In the match against Drunkers (10719593) we played both run&gun and man to man defense, I suppose (cause this is written in the rules too) that play, G and SF should be the focus of the match in fact I've attacked mostly with them, from the other hand I've got almost the 50% of the 107 Drunkers's points coming from centers and PFs and once again, my PF has 100k/week of salary and my center is on the market just now if you wanna see his skills.
So at the end I'm not blaming here the matches lost but I would like to see a system that can be supported by a logical sense because just now it's impossible for me to understand where I'm weak, where I can improve and where I'm ok.
Every match today is a jump in a black hole and it seems to me that is the random the main factor to win or lose a match.
Do you think that MRs and TRs are serious? I really hope BBs will change asap this way to read the matches at the moment is unrealiable 100%.

I think run'n'gun doesn't really mean more shots for G and SF, but more shots from outside. Your center's quite low outside def. skill probably makes it pretty attractive for opponent's C to shoot against him even from outside.

Well, one thing I can talk about is your PF/C, the brazilian NT player. Yes, awsome player, but he is a center, not a small forward or even a power forward.

The consequences of putting Andrew Bynum at PF are:

1. weaker offense, because he would be forced to play not under the basket like he would playing at Center.

2. weaker defense, because he isnt actually capable of guarding PFs as well as he would at Center - even not so good PFs.

Ok, I also believe that there's some reformulation needed, but its kinda your fault.

Ciao dude ;)

Probably I created this thread putting only my match here but I'd like to speak in general about the Mr and Tr. I need to know why I've won or lost a game and in this moment the stats at the end of every match don't give me any precise idea cause often Tr and Mr are in "conflict" each other so imho BBs must be change Mr and Tr they are creating only confusion, if I remember well also BB-Forrest said that he doesn't like at all the actual way to "read the matches".
Are u able to understand clearly why you win or lose a match? O_o"
The thread "why I've lost this game" is full of message it means that it is quite difficult to understand the stats. Personally I've some ideas but often they are not supported by mr or tr so I'm not speaking about GE I speak about the way to read the match ;)

whats mr and tr?

Matchup Ratings & Team Ratings.

thx

I think that MR and TR should not be used to determine why you win or lose a game. They are average reflections of the skills involved in each game. They should be taken only as a basic performance evaluation. Why should this then not be taken as a determiner of a win or a loss? For example, let's say two teams are absolutely equal for an entire game except for a two minute stretch to start the 3rd quarter, where team A makes 4 straight three pointers. Team A outscores team B by 12 points in those two minutes. The final is a 12 point victory for team A. The TR and MR will still be basically equal.

I think that the overall box score and watching the game are the two best ways to tell why you wion or lose a game. Often times free throws, foul trouble, offensive rebounds, and/or turnovers are the factors in a win or loss, especially between teams of similar quality.

I agree,especially in a first division with the teams at a similar level

sometimes a bad outiside defender PF can give the oposite side some points that you can't see in the ratings ,but watching games you can have an idea of the outside shooting of an Pf and some details like that

but I must agree that the ratings should be better,for exemple:sometimes the team with 1 or 2 levels worst in rebound has more rebounds in the game

sorry if I made some english mistakes
