a general guideline to the team-ratings: Handling top, Driving flop


Could not be possible that the regression tell you that because, I have the sense(not measured yet), general *external* training seems to improve more handling than driving?. So, maybe, in this kind of situations the regression shows you that handling is more important while maybe driving might be the *real* answer. (I'm thinking that this is something to consider when talking about offensive ratings and not for offensive flow, where probably handling being more important than driving is right, in the regression and in the original calculation).

This argument can be easily decided by how well the Parrot works. I myself just cannot wait, waiting in agony for the continuation ;)

Parrots: There is a clear distinction between primary and secondary skills for each of the six ratings, with primary skills typically up to ten times more important than the secondaries. Base Offense / Man to Man rely most heavily on the primary skills in all six ratings, and the difference to tactics such as Patient or Push the Ball consists in reducing the influence of the primaries but increasing the importance of the secondaries a little bit - for Patient mostly Handling, for Push to Ball rather Passing.
(to be continued)


I am intrigued to say the least. How many skills, primary and secodnary, do you think affect the defensive tactic?

One thing I am hearing, although not stated by you, is that playing base offense and running man-to-man is a good way to go if you have players with no secondary skills, i.e beginning teams and teams with monoskilled behemoths. I love your description of the defensive side of passing and handling skills, except that in real life a 1-3-1 zone is often implemented to create turnovers by intercepting long passes out of trapping situations. At any rate, I have assumed that passing worked as a "defending a pass" secondary defensive skill for a while, so it's great to see that it is. And handling is mentioned in the rules as being beneficial to creating turnovers. I have already begun sketching the next two seasons of training for my team, and can't wait to hear more!!!

Great job! I´m doing the traslation of your monologues to spanish (with copyright of course).
One question: why "Parrot Monologues" and not "Dialogues with my Parrot"... ;-)
because monologue is only one person... so we may think that you and your parrot are the same person... and you are not, right? :-D
