Does high team rebound rating boost the rebound skills for players across all positions?
Would your PG who has inept (4) rebounding (potentially) grab more boards when matched up against PG with the same rebounding skill (including sub-skill), if your team rebound rating is respectable (high) and your opponent has awful (low)? This is for m2m defense, and every condition is the same (neutral court, no enthusasm advantage, no PR manager, no gameshape difference...)

True, the tactics heavily influence the team ratings. But I was asking how the GE uses the team ratings after they have been calculated (with the tactics and everything). So, they have been calculated, we have all 6 values.

Lets take two cases:
- offensive flow is calculated at strong (8 - high)
- offensive flow is calculated at inept (4 - low)

Now, we have a play:
A Center with mediocre (5.00) passing finds a teammate who then takes a shot. The passing of the C is exactly 5.00 (sub-level included)
If everything was the same:

- The quality of the shot will be higher in the first case.
- The quality of the shot is equal in both cases.

The Game manual suggests that we should have a higher shot quality in the first case.
That might be implying that the offensive flow value is used as a coefficient to adjust for that mediocre (5.00) passing skill of the C? So that passing skill is adjusted at mediocre 5.41 (I'm just throwing random higher number for the sake of the argument).

And is this how it works for rebounding as well (my earlier post).

My thinking was that the TR value are given by the player's skills with tactics and are part of the initial calculations of coefficients (the intial calculations would also include also the venue, PR specialty, enthusiasm, the attitude, GPD...). Then those coefficients are used in the GE for the subsequent calculations - basically the player's skills matchups in the events we see in the play-by-play. You are saying that TR are only a statistical category you see after the game in the box score, did I understand you correctly?

My opponent played outside isolation and I prepared for outside focused.
So why I got the red x next to outside focus?

From the Game Manual:

Isolation offenses: The team will try to find their best offensive player and clear out an area for him to create his own shot. There are two types of isolation offenses (both are considered as having a balanced focus by the GDP):
