Hello,
Another question from the rookie that I am...
How are the players ratings calculated and how do they affect a game ?
For ex. one of my player has an OL rating of 4.0, but his Vision is 1, blocking 4, strength 11 and stamina 3... whereas another guy is strong, good vision, great bloking... but rating as OL 0.5...?!?!
So far, I didn't take into account the ratings, considering first the players skills. But as I continue to lose games, I'm starting to wonder how the simulation works...

If s.o. could provide me with some explanations on that...

Thanks !

So basically, you do not look at a player's skills, but you put him at the position his rating is the best... no matter how this rating is calculated ?!

OK... as I said, I didn't take the BPOS into account so far because they look weird. A guy who's best position is OL when is has a low bloking and strength but high passing for ex... Seems very strange to me. So I'd rather put a guy with a low BPOS as OL but with a great strength and bloking... that's what I've been doing but I guess I was wrong to consider all the skills...

So far I agree with you... I'm just trying to figure out why I lost by so much (59-7) the last game I played (I knew I'd lost, but why by so much...?). And the only thing I can figure out is the ratings of my opponent players. The tactic and my plyers position don't seem to have had any influence...

Mostly because of the fact, half of your team plays only at 1Star Team Chem! Team Chem is also a very important one - TC 1 Star -> -24% Perfomance

the Ancient one speaks the truth, TC is a big factor, dont worry, put players in the positions you think they will do best in, independent of BPOS, play them, increase there BPOS and TC, and you will see a big improvement, it just takes time.... with this game you need to plan ahead...
