Yeah, seriously. It sounds like one of those things where people just assume because Hattrick does/did something in a certain way, BB must as well. (Because regular goals in HT were generated this way, AFAIK.)

The meme I've seen repeated many times that the top skill determines salary is another likely BB myth that fits this category.

I know a couple of things on these topics with relative certainty (read: official statements on the issue):

Salary seems to be based on a weighted package of skills depending on positions (remember the announcement on PFs right before last draft?). The fact that players get classified in positions based on their top skills likely bias this towards salaries being determined mostly by the top skill, but this is clearly not the only deciding factor.

Teams get a series of 'looks' at the basket for the 24 seconds they have for an attack. I've heard nothing about how assists are determined on those looks, and which comes first -- determining the passer, or whether there is an assist.

that's my opinion (sorry if i forgot to put an IMO)..
it comes from my experience and observations, NOT HATTRICK..
i thought that it musn't be too hard to get to that result after playing this game for a few seasons..

I am curious how one can determine that the assisting player is determined after the decision whether there is an assist or not. This is not necessarily false, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the match report that suggests it.

you said "does not mean that he has a great passing skill, that means his passing skill is much higher than his playmates.."

then explain how come my pg who has a better skill than my center, but my center ends up to be part of the leader board for the past 2 seasons

wouldnt it show if your pg has a better defender or a slight or good defender though probably your pg is better than the defender there are instances where in he hounds your pg.

also wouldnt it be also a effect if the teammates having offensive skills more better than the defense an example is sensational inside shot to a strong inside D. or suited to the play or another is if the offensive players offense sucks more likely or so he will prompt to force shots that arent going to go in or get quality shots.

because i have gone against a pf and a center who's salary is 2x than what my big men has but if i join them together since they have the highest of inside d i can see the offensive player have a hard time scoring though they dominate but it limits then on a certain time

I am curious how one can determine that the assisting player is determined after the decision whether there is an assist or not. This is not necessarily false, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the match report that suggests it.

i don't know if you're interested in programming or not, but i can't think of any other logic..
if you don't decide whether there will be an assist or not, it's meaningless to determine the assisting player..
of course there are some possible options but they are hard to implement..
for example:
a player takes the ball and decides what to do, he can pass, drive or shoot..
since the shotclock is not working so well, i'm sure that this system is not used..
the simplest and logical way to implement an offense is to decide what will happen first..
IMO..

Actually not really.

The situation is as follows: we have that each team gets a series of looks, which have a certain quality. They can be scored or missed.

However, the quality of the look is determined prior to when the shot is taken, and since the quality of the look depends on the quality of the pass, it is logical that if a look is assisted, the passer is known in advance. The shooter can choose between passing up on the shot, shooting, or driving to improve the quality of the look. Naturally, an assist is only recorder if the shooter takes the shot immediately.

From a programming point of view, it actually makes better sense to do it this way, since there will be less conditional statements.

So it goes like this:

look1(passer1, shooter1)
look2(passer2, shooter2)
...
lookX(passerX, shooterX)

My understanding is matchups in BB are treated invidivually (player vs. player), though the skills are modified by team ratings. So I see zero logic in assists being generated solely based on team ratings.

But of course, most of this is just speculation. I just want to point out that there are alternatives.
