Yes, I see it all now...by insulting me you have proven yourself the better man.

Try again though....of course I have read the definitions, but they are still a generalization, not an indicator of specific players skill levels, no matter how many times I read it.

An indicator of the performance of a combination of players against the defense of another combination of players will not tell you the specific skill ratings of specific players.

Hence my use of the term vague...get it?

...or should I just read it again to see if my dull unedumacated mind can grasp the concepts yet?

Well, if you had some spare time you could watch the game, so you could see, play by play, what your team was doing wrong. If you have a lot of turnovers, get better passing and handling. Out matched on the boards? Get some rebounding. I have found that the box score never lies, but ratings sometimes do. "Mediocre" is a vague term, but 3-17 from 3pt is pretty clear cut.

How's that worked for you so far?

Again, folks, I"m not complaining about losing. I'm pointing out the feedback from the game is painting a very poor picture of what happened.

Hm, I'm not going to comment on specific cases, but it is highly unlikely that BB is a game of pure Math. A random element must exist.

Upsets happen. You may have statistically played them off of the park, but I would assume that on odd occasions you will still lose. In these cases it will cause confusion (or as you put it "paints a very poor picture of what happened").

The picture painted may be poor, but more often than not if you win in the match ratings you will win the game. Please note, "more often than not", rather than "always" is a phrase I have chosen for a reason.

Friend, I see that we both get awful (high) ratings for offensive flow. Would you please tell me the skills of my starters and subs? Could you also help me to understand if I should compare my outside scoring to my opponents outside scoring or to his perimeter defense? I noticed you decided to play a 2-3 zone against a team with pitiful (med) inside scoring, was this decision a strong tactical one in your opinion?

One last question, my player Jessie Long (785965) has average rebounding, how is this possible since I didn't play him this week? He didn't get even one rebound so how can his rebounding be higher than Sheldon Heard, who has pitiful rebounding even though he grabbed 11 of them last week? Please construct your answers according to my preconceived ideas about what these things mean or I will insist they don't make any sense ;)

Today's announcement regarding changes to the offensive flow in the game engine address the issues I've brought up in this thread. I hope these changes fix the problems.
