Also at this point I am curious about if there are teams that made more than 11 in the team ratings for the flow.

I think this is pretty hard to achieve. I just ran trough some games from the top NT level.

(45833) 10.0 flow Lithuania
(45775) 9.3 flow Portugal
(45776) 9.6 flow Lithuania

These three games are from last seasons semi finals and final (euro championship).

And from season 40 (world championship).

(44588) Spain vs. China and both are under 10.0
(44543) Spain vs. Taiwan and both are at 9.6

We have here three of the best NTs with the flow stays still under 10.0.


In my point of view, you can only achive a high 10 flow, if you have PA on all five players:
(46321) my swedish team had a 10.3 and Austria a 10.0.
I think it is possible to push the flow rating even higher, because Sweden didn't play with the best possible "flow line up". A player was injured and another one still gets PA training.


I have one last point. (99545969) that's the BBB final of two seasons ago. The flow is a 10.3. What makes it really interesting is that Tehran played Princeton. And according to an old BB post, Princeton is the tactic, which relies the most on PA and flow. And even here, a flow of 11 wasn't reached.

You can get 11 in NT games, I'm pretty sure I've seen it before. Imagine that 1-5 PA is like this: 18-16-14-14-12. Top tier NT play PFs at C, 140+ TSP monsters who are well rounded.

Yes, it is possible. Just hard to achieve. The US team had two such games last season and one this season:
(45773)
(45457)
(46623)

Non of these three was a blowout. All the US starters played at least 33 minutes. A blowout would decrease the ratings if you don't have the same quality on the bench. Let's assume the US has also strong PA players in the second row, so that would be a benefit for high flow ratings.

Actually in my last cup game (1/2 finals) my team had a Passing rating of 11

It was a really cool game by the way..Despite not that bad defenses the game was like an All Star..My team had 38 assists on 54 made field goals (70% of made shots assisted, pretty high%). 47 fouls, 69 fts attempted by both teams (opponent had 42 ft attempts) really sick game..I had 3 players with 30 and more points (something like warrioirs trio of curry/thompson/durant:) My reserve C had 8points, 3 rebs, 7 assists and 5 blocks, also something like draymond greenish:D

Most importantly my team won at the end:)

My team repeated the feat in my last game in BBB, showing 11 rating in Passing, though we lost it this time..
