While watching movies, I am simulating games (computer vs computer, Superstar difficulty) using my .dbf's and trying to get my spreadsheet just right. I've made two amendments.
--
Leading scorers: Prince (24), Duncan (20), Billups (18), Ginobili (17), Nestorovic (16), Brown (13), R. Wallace (12), Hamilton (11), B. Wallace (9), Bowen (9), Hunter (9), Delfino (9).
Team stats (DET-SA): PTS (101-90), (FG% (49%-46%), 3PT% (60%-18%), FT% (90%-67%), REB (40-26 ... largely to do with SA's blocks resulting in fewer defensive boards and then coupled with a greater shooting percentage by DET), BLK (8-17), STL (1-7)
A LOT depends on the randomisations in the game. In one game, a team shot 60% for 48 minutes then 42% the next with identical settings. In lesser leagues, you might expect players to get their real highs game in/game out, but in the NBA there's usually at least one surprising player and players will vary quite significantly every now and then.
I'm going to minimize the block ratings in the .dbf and see what kind of results I can calibrate.
Okay, blocks will be much better but despite this I will add an option on/off remove blocks from FG% calculations for greater refinement.
UPDATE: Fatigue solution is of marginal gain, if any. Good to see I can stick with what I've already got. Now not only are steals and block ratings penalized/benefited double, but FGA are minus blocks to calibrate precision FG shooting. Despite what has been done with block ratings (every player between 0-10, the realism setting now below 10) in Superstar mode I still got way too many blocks and they contributed to a certain number of missed rebound opportunities.
Latest game:
Points: Ginobili (21), Duncan (18), Hamilton (18), Parker (14), McDyess (14), R. Wallace (10)
Rebounds: Duncan (10), R. Wallace (8)
Assists: doesn't happen very often computer v. computer
Blocks: Duncan (8), Nesterovic (3)
Steals: Billups (4), R. Wallace (3), Ginobili (3)
Totals:
Points: 91 (San Antonio) - 87 (Detroit)
FG%: 50%-45% (missed rebound opportunities by slightly higher than average shooting)
FT%: 92%-67%
3PT%: (forget it, real low both teams, but it was a freak occurrence not the ratings)
Rebounds: 32-37
Assists: 7-8
Blocks: 7-12 (about 7/8 missed rebound opportunities beyond average)
Steals: 7-10
FGA rate: 103%
