Sim League Power Rank - The Beast of the East & How the West Was Won

Yeah I only run stats on my offense pretty much. And keep an running PER after each sim of my team (and a few others I have to keep tabs on) but it's all offensive stuff. I'm not advanced at all and have a lot of raw data I haven't read yet. The PER is the only thing set up easy now, the rest is still a lot of annoying copy and paste.

I hope I have it to where during the offseason the rankings will be down because of blank fields, but when commish sets up everything for the next season and runs the first sim the rankings should reupdate.

I haven't tabbed game by game boxscores yet, I was starting doing a league wide basic scouting report and I ended up with rankings.

Quick question if I'm calculating TS% using the averages (avg PPG, FGA, and FTA) for a sim is it going to be a major difference than if I took total points, total FGA, and total FTA for a sim?

Slight rounding error because you could multiply PPG x Games to get total points but it's only for one decimal place (Ex: 20.0 could be 19.95-20.04 actual). For TS% I think it makes a slight difference.

Try [(2 x (FGM-3PM))+(3 x 3PM) + (1 x FTM)] = Points

then plug in (Points)/(2 x (FGA + (FTA x 0.44)))

for TS%

Why not just pull data from players page?

I'm want to do sim by sim comparisons to account for adjustments am I overlooking something simple?

I pull from player pages for overall stats

I thought this kind of summed it up well on how to make web queries. Instead of using the Yahoo! Finance stuff use the sim league page.

That's tougher and a lot of data entry.

Listening to the podcast for the first time. LOL

When I first called in I was driving. So yea, I was in a tin can. Then I ran inside and you can hear the echo. I sat in the back yard thru the rest til the very end and you can hear the echo again when I walk back inside.

And that's a wrap for the 3rd edition! Updated and ready. Enjoy guys.

14-7 in the last 3 sims and I have watched my Nola ranking drop each time. I guess I should take it as I'm not as good as my record right now. Being the 6 seed in the East makes me think I should at least crack the midway point. Weird.

No love for my Nets

I have never at any point fell out of the top two on the West. Had a 6-2 SIM and I'm not even in the top three in the West. I know how you feel. The way it ranks everything together, the things that your weak at are very evident and they kill your overall ranking. My rebounding and defense are holding me back. Gotta get better.

And awesome as usual Nola, love these rankings even though o should be first every ranking. :)

I'm going to try to get every team in a write up (but mine so I can avoid the "attention whore label").

And honestly Tray I have been questioning your position for the last couple of updates. I honestly think it's because I can't take into consideration offensive rebounds which I think Yao gets a lot of. Extra possessions should score more but the game doesn't account for them. If it did I know you would be higher in certain areas.

2 more sims and I have the t Mac attack back. That's when I'll have to make my move in the standing. Just keep treading just keep treading

No gloating till I win something. I've been here before but I've got a long way to go.

Notes:
The way this defense has improved from the last 2 seasons is amazing though. Ratliff could be a dark horse DPOY candidate.
Still have some work to do to match the offensive fire power of the hornets I've been trying to model.
I hope I meet the Lakers in the postseason this year, it's long overdue.

So I really don't feel like spamming the Articles subforum for something that updates every two days. Even breaking it into parts will still kind of be a lot.

I was thinking of just having one thread that I update for sim day results and just delete/edit first post. Unless you guys like this setup better.

Oooo I have the best defense in the league according to these numbers

Yeah man your team has turned up the defense as of late. I think Top 10 in steals and blocks and top 5 in oFG%.

And my team shamefully takes hold of the last ranked team, rightfully so.

If things ended today, the west 1
Seed would have the least satisfying reg season championship ever lol.

I'm 1 in steals, 5 in blocks and 2nd in field goal defense. Rebounding has improved with Zo's increased role. If Chris Paul and Roy made their 3 point shots we'd be dangerous.

*thump thump thump*

(Lol just messing)

just prepping myself for a depressing lakers loss and West loss in one sim.

Middle of the pack again. Ho-hum...

Ranking is not impressed.

76ers claim top spot again.

Booyah. Cracked 90 on Nola's mystical power rankings

Whoa!!! Im top ten I love these rankings...this was part of our deal btw I included an extra point to get in the top ten...just something to consider balls, tray, and soundwave

I'll release true shooting differentials later tonight. So far they are pretty telling.

15!!!! Booooo-yaaaaaaa!!!!

I can't argue with the rankings. My offense has been terrible all season and my defense has helped me win close games. This past sim was the first sim all season where my offense showed up. But the rankings are right from a statistical standpoint. Congrats to the Sixers for their overall top ranking and for being number one in defense as well.

Yaaay first time I'm not negative in rebounding. Guess Marion has made a difference already.lol I'm second in shooting. That's why my record is so good. I would be at the bottom of the west of Jamison(the person who is not an all star) wasn't shooting an amazing % this year.

I think if you make some adjustments defensively with your gameplan you will play more consistent overall.

You know what. Since Deron well be out for the first two games this SIM I'm gonna try some crazy **** in my depth chart. What we were talking about yesterday. What's the worst that can happen. I'll make the playoffs no matter what. Might as well shake it up some.

I'm waiting for either you or the Hornets to hit the 1.0+ mark, that would be very impressive.

It's mainly because of your advice. Thanks again

No problem. I like working on that kind of stuff. Plus, your team's perimeter is fascinating and you had a great offseason. Right Darth?

:hihi: Yeah you did give me the last push I needed to try this DC out. I do hope my defense improves a bit though. It's god awful. I've been mulling over it, but only as a last resort. But no time like the present!!

You also may want to try Marion at SF with Jamison at PF but that would make you go back to inside focus which you're trying to avoid.

Well Marion will see time at PF and SF with this DC. So we'll see how it goes. If Jamison can average 22-25 at the 4, I think this game plan will be money. We all know what van horn can do. He averaged 20ppg last year starting at the 3. And during the only SIM I ran balanced offense this season Deron was putting up 17ppg. Throw in Biedrins and JR, and that my friend is some scary scoring.
