My understanding is that team ratings are an input in the game engine in some form, together with individual player skills.

Why? I know that's how Hattrick works, but other than that, I don't see why one would assume this. I assume that the player ratings would be enough to determine each event on the court.

The fact that the sector ratings are not terribly relevant is alluded to in this thread: (903.1).

That has nothing to do with Hattrick. If anything, half of my post in the How Did I Lose thread are spent to explain to people that half 1/3 level difference in team ratings really doesn't mean as much as they thing.

One doesn't have to assume anything. Even if you haven't followed the forum discussions with the BBs on this, since they're few and far between, there is a nice quote from the rules in the previous post in this thread: (46657.86).

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

And where does it say that those ratings are the sector ratings that are displayed in the match report?

The rules text says pretty clearly team ratings, and so does the box score. I haven't seen any other team ratings anywhere in the game, either, so it's a pretty safe assumption to make.

However, if you are willing to believe there is another set of hidden team ratings, which is in fact completely different from this one, please tell me right now so that I don't waste half a day arguing with you like I did with that other guy about something else.

I'll stand by the thread I linked earlier, particularly (903.7). raonne was a BB, no? If he says they're obscure, then they hold very little meaning to me.

And that's all I have to say in this thread. I tried to help confirm something that the original poster mentioned and have no interest in discussing this further.

GMs, incidentally, have exactly the same information about the GE as any other user in the game. If raonne chose not to read or not too believe the rules, that's entirely his problem.

I meant BB instead of GM. I edited my previous message and am now done with this thread.

Raonne has never been a BB.

4) A larger role than I thought earlier is played by the energy-characteristics of each tactic. For example the energy-characteristics of a defensive tactic (fast-slow etc.) will have an impact on offensive team ratings and vice versa.


When you talk about energy-characteristics of tactics you mean, pace?

If that's true, this is really unexpected for me. As far as I knew pace had and impact on the game, but I believed it was completely related to way in wich my players would behave (like, when chossing to shot or not) rather than actually have an impact on their perforance via stamina speed decreasement.

Maybe I just got it all wrong...

Another question, What about Shape? It works as multiplier of skills? Do you have any clue about how much important it is?
