Rating Formulas

[cdfeezy]

This is a compilation of all found formulas that work for ratings.
Please fill free to submit more as you find them or better ones. Also if there is more than one formula listed for a category understand that there are many different ways you can get realistic ratings and numbers.

Note: Players with no attempts at all wont have the base, as well as players with close to none. Also if there % is high with hardly any attempts give them anywhere from a 25-45 depending on their position. Last but not least, always round down unless it's >.8

Rating Formulas:

3PT= Base 40 + (3pt)% + Attempted(per game) - submitted by ffaacc03

Medium= Base 35 + (16-23 Ft)% + Attempted(per game) - submitted by KingDain

Re: Rating Formulas

Mine is 3PM/3PA*215

I have found it has worked well for sim stats.

Re: Rating Formulas

Anyone in real life shooting 40% or better from 3 should have an 80 rating , people shooting in the 30s should have around a 70 rating

Thats what i go by

That is basically what my formula equates to. 80+ is about 38% and above.

Re: Rating Formulas

Thanks for sharing Game.
I'll be sure to test that out.

Any other rating formulas?

Re: Rating Formulas

I think that any good formula for these ratings requires standardizing the numbers. For anyone who has studied statistics, you'll know what I'm talking about. For example, you would convert every player's 3pt fg% into something called a z-score, which takes into account the mean and standard deviation of the sample. You then can easily convert that z-score into a rating by defining your own mean and standard deviation for the ratings.

Unrelated to that, for the shot ratings, I like to incorporate both fg% and field goals made per minute (from each range). I think that adding in made shots better represents the true nature of the rating.

Matt Bonner(top qualified 3pt% this season) should have a 106 rating, and then you'd have to subtract 7 to get 99. So shouldn't the formula be 3PM/3PA*215-7?

No. And don't look at it just for this season. I take the last four seasons, multiply this season by 3 and last season by 2 (so there is emphasis on the last two seasons), and then get a rating. It has worked VERY well. If you subtract is by 7, guys are going to be shooting WAY too low of a percentage. Using my formula, he'd be about a 94 3pt shooter.

Re: Rating Formulas

I use 10(FTA/gm) for the draw foul tendency.

I use (Dunk/36 min)(25) + 25 for dunk tendency

I also use combine results to derive unbiased athleticism ratings for draft prospects.

That's what I used to do (fgm/min) but it actually yielded some really awkward results. Now instead I take the percentage and subtract a penalty term to downgrade those players with a low volume of shots. The penalty term is constructed in such a way that those who shoot a high volume essentially get no penalty at all.

Through extensive testing with the PC version I've actually discovered a near perfect estimate of the rating scales they use at each shooting range for their sim stats. I plan on posting these some time within the next couple days once I get the last range done that I need to test.

Re: Rating Formulas

If I am not mistaken, 2k default 3pt formula is based on:

(base of 40 + 3pt% + 3pts attempted)
=> SA - Bonner (40+50+3) = 93
=> BOS - Allen (40+46+5) = 91
=> NY - Williams (40+44+3) = 88
There could be slight differences due to rounded numbers.

Players with no attempts at all wont have the base, as well as players with close to none.

When it comes to 3pt ratings I just make 99 = .500% and go from there. So Ray Allen is rated at 96

89 = .400
79 = .300

and so on.

Do anyone know a formula or scale for speed and quickness?

Re: Rating Formulas

Thanks to everyone for sharing.

When I see effective, well-drawn out formulas I will post them in the OP so everyone can easily access and see them.

How exactly do ratings effect shot-stick timing or real %
