its true we didn't retune the game rating formula when we returned the engine, this was in part to keep some continuity in what the GE means... also though its harder to quantify how much of a contribution a particular player's handling ability added to the game, even when it clearly did.

we have discussed retuning some of the team ratings to better reflect the changes to the GE, so i suppose the game ratings could also be considered, though in thinking about handling in particular i'm not sure how to add it, in a way consistent with the way we add in other components.

I have the feeling, that the position 4 and 5 have been touched a lot by these changes: many turnovers because of low handling/passing. Is that correct?

the effect of low handling/passing is weighted toward the guards, so having good handling/passing at forward/center will help but not as much as the guards.

Do inside men with high OD force more turnovers from the opposing big men with low handling and passing skills?

more than if they had low OD?

yeah, I'm trying figure out if it's worth pursuing inside men with decent OD...just want to see if I can't afford to buy a big guy with high ID maybe I can pay less for a big guy with decent OD and ID and maybe he'll be able to force a TO instead of a missed shot...

Hi there,

I already noticed the games of Patje, since i am in his league, and therfore found out that his inside man didnt make that many shots anymore..since GM-PAtje opened this topic, i followed/checked his games a little bit with extra more attention. Because i noticed a big drop of shots by his inside man, i played a Low Post myself yesterday in the cup. And i didnt like what i saw..

My 110k PF and 56 K C played against a 4 and 5k salary PF/C. My 110k star only shot 7 balls, my pg shot 1 out of 10 (oh my..) I played with 2 PG's on PG and SG pos and they do have quite some handling/passing, i asume more than the guards of Patjebono..I was wondering how this can happen. Because i thought the problem in Patjebono's team was a shortcoming in handling/passing, but now it happend also in my team, i cant figure out what the te real problem is..

Is this just 1 game, do i need a bigger sample, or can you point out a reason why my inside man didnt take over the game?

Here is the match im talking about: (17466581)

it looks like normally he shoots more than he did this game, sometimes people have off games, doesn't look systematic to me.
