Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread- Announcement on pg. 56

[mpharris36]

lol that's not what i meant. i meant that if you have the sim you likely know which type of players are going to get a high rating cause you can study it. i do find it weird that you seemed offended tho. do you have the sim? lmao

not offended one bit actually, flattered, and no I don't have it. We just have been doing this for what 9 years now I take what information Bish provides us on the team pages and I make my best assumptions off 9 years of data.

yeah idk you seemed pretty offended to me to make that comment cause someone who has the sim would react that way but idc if you have it like i said already.

but anyways, since you are the only team that doesn't have a def rating below 60. can you explain to us what your methods are? many of us don't understand the sim as well as you. which is why there's a bit of an outrage with these ratings because it doesn't make any sense to us. you seem to have a very good idea on who's going to get a good rating or not.

I'm still missing where I sound offended. I said the advantage of having the SIM would be knowing the ratings before other teams and Bish posts them (couple week window when Bish announces the SIM is out and when he starts to post ratings). That is not offense that is simply stating the obvious of where I believe that advantage would come in. If someone wants to shell out money for that couple week advantage I mean more power to you I guess, I have already built my roster way before that happens (last move I made was in August).

and i already said that's not what i was talking about. i said it was about studying the sim. that's the advantage i am speaking about.

so you just gonna ignore this?

So you want me to tell you exactly why I think certain guys will be good defensively? Look up stats on your own bro

see that's mad sus. you defending the SIM OD for their outlandish ratings, patronizing other people, acting offended when i say i think some people have the sim and now you dont want to explain how you know players are gonna get good ratings or not. lmao ight.

I can only laugh at that response. You legit quote stats all the time why do I need to do your legwork. Its public information.

Just yesterday I was talking to Deeez about where I thought Mcbride handle rating came from. Do I know it for certain...no. But just pull up assist to turnover ratio. Its not rocket science.

doing my legwork is a crazy response. if it's so easy and it's all public information how come there's an outrage on these ratings while you're the only one defending the sim? you moving mad sus lmfao

[Fat]

Yall Send all the defensive players to the same 3-4 teams lol. I have no sympathy for any ratings. work with what you have and improve as the season goes on. Simple

[j4remi]

All I know is Mikal Bridges is one of the worst defenders on my team according to the sim...and that's nuts.

not sure what you trying to prove here? that i don't understand the sim? lmfao

more ratings coming out...still the big defenders on the board.

HOU, Minny have some really good defenders. They gotta have some of those big dogs. And I know TC is still tanking but J-Dub has to have some monster ratings.

and imagine posting this before bish posted the ratings for them lmfao. but yeah you not sus at all brodie

He basically gave you the keys over 2 years ago and you still sounding clueless

[3toheadmelo]

Just for verification. I never once asked for any numbers to be changed. I am only acknowledging that this product is the “k-mart” version of the actually league. 2K at least tries to be comparable. I sure hope Bish doesn’t spend real money for this

I'm just a bit confused, the season hasn't even started. This is your first year trying to win games I believe (I don't blame you for the roster you received in terms of building it up) and you have drafted pretty well so kudos. Just odd since you have been in asset acquisition mode and you did a good job acquiring Mobley who got amazing sim ratings (rightfully so) from what I see. Morant seems really good and Buzelis has 94 potential. Even Kon Knueppel individual ratings look amazing (he's going to be one of the best shooters) Just wondering do you have a specific gripe?

I think you have every chance to be a good competitive team from what I'm seeing.

Really? So the DPOY gets an 80 overall defensive rating meanwhile

DEF

1. Taylor Hendricks- Was 112
2. Walker Kessler- SA 101
3. Jaren Jackson Jr.- Hou 100
3. Jalen Johnson- Min 100
3. Alex Caruso- SA 100
6. Kristaps Porzingis- NO 99
7. Jalen Williams- Mem 97
8. Anthony Davis- Det 96
8. Amen Thompson- Tor 96
10. Draymond Green- Tor 95

Why are you patronizing him? He has every right to feel those ratings are bs

hilarious he wont even respond to you

i guess everybody is clueless then? lmfao. defending the sim like you made it and patronizing people is crazy work.

[HEZI]

Spent yesterday going through some advance stats and I think I figured defense and offense efficiency out. Too bad I'll have to wait until next season smh.

The one thing I will say is that DFG% is very important.

Probably that and Diff% which is what really matters. That’s what I’ve been looking at to help determine players efficiency as defenders so if they are using that then that’s good because that’s what should be used imo

I’ve figured out the offensive part a while ago, pretty easy since it’s just shooting numbers and scoring efficiency and then if you want to have a guy with good discipline then you need to look at how many fouls they are averaging in their minutes played and then you can determine who is disciplined. Those things I got figured out but the defense part I always felt was hard to determine and it felt more random than calculated. Will have to look at if they really might be using DFG and Diff% because that would be helpful info for sure

I'm probably be moving Jokic in the offseason. I will be sure to give you a call.

yeah i think you are on to something with diff%. looking at the list rn it seems like a direct correlation with the DEF rating. seems like majority of the players who has a negative diff has a good DEF rating in the sim and the players with a high diff has a bad DEF rating. like if you look at taylor henrick's diff he has a -8.4 lol. his dfg% is crazy low too. thanks for the help hezi and hersports. unlike some people who wanna gatekeep cause its so deep for them lmao
