SG R. Cerdenia 15 3 - 10 0 - 2 0 - 0 0 4 2 2 0 0 0 6 7.0
SF G. Fodi 12 2 - 6 0 - 1 0 - 0 0 3 2 0 0 0 1 4 5.0

Can anyone please explain how the second guy got a worse match rating?
He played 3 less minutes in the game, and only scored 2 points less. He had a much higher shooting percentage (33% v 30% - or more specifically - 4 missed shots v 7 missed shots). He only got 1 less rebound, he got the same number of assists, and he had no turnovers compared to the 2 turnovers the other guy had.

Any ideas?

One aspect of the rating is a player's defense which you can't see in his boxscore. I'd expect that to be a big factor usually.

much higher shooting percentage (33% v 30%
Is 33 really that much higher than 30? Especially with a sample size of 10 (respectively 6) attempts? I don't think so.

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

My understanding is that the rating is purely an indicator of how he looked while playing. Just because he put up better numbers doesn't mean he was necessarily the better player. I use it as an indicator along with his stats to determine how good a player is.

The rating is an indicator of how a player played in that game. Just looking at stats is a big fallacy and as mentioned defense is a hidden attribute not shown on the box score.

Is your player really that good if he scores 20 points a game but lets in 40?

I didn't take in to account the defence but I will look into that.

Regarding the shooting percentage, it's not necessarily that it is higher, it is more than he has made more of his shots, in less time, and has no turnovers. I just thought they would at least be the same rating. But I will look into the defence, cheers!

Player rating is a reflection of a player's skills as they are used by the game engine during a game. It has very little to do with performance.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

hmm okay. I always though the player rating was a reflection of how well the player did on the court.
So what can a manager use, or deduce from the player ratings?

Just one thought... I've noticed that you said "3 less minutes... and only scored 2 points less". That equates to Fodi scoring 1 point every 3 minutes (or 16 points if he played 48 minutes) while Cerdenia scored 1 point every 2.5 minutes (or 19.2 points for 48 minutes). What others mentioned (defense and such) is probably why the ratings were different. I just wanted to point out that Cerdenia was scoring at a higher rate (although this doesn't explain the discrepancy as well as others already have).

As far as the use of the ratings... on a game by game level I mostly ignore them. In whole I feel they are a good way of getting a feeling for how a players doing and what level (V, IV, III) they could play at and how good their overall game is. My best player doesn't always have the best rating each game but he does have the highest average rating.

No matter where you go, there you are.
