Team 1:
Listed A+ Prestige, but obviously higher
NC/S16/S16/S16 NT results (NC most recent), 1/6/3/14 RPI, A+ baseline
Coming off of 4 draft picks (1.23, 1.24, 3.28, 2.42)

53 AP
Neutral preference for Flex
G for wants paint
19 HV, 1 CV, start, 25 minutes

Team 2:
Listed A- prestige (very higher end, just had dropped from A despite 11 RPI because of 1R upset)

390 AP
VG preference for flex
G for wants paint
20 HV, 1 CV, start, 25 minutes

I'm guessing team A by a small margin, maybe 55/45. Are we about to witness the power of A++ prestige?

Prestige - +15
AP - -6
Pref - -5
HV - -1

Net - +2
Stretched - +4

Guessing A at 52-48

This is my first one of these and I ****** this up. This was session 2 so draft pick bonus wears off from previous season right?

I disregarded the draft picks in my guess. Maybe stupidly.

Team B by a touch, 51/49

Alright got some guesses in. And its team B 55-45. Probably the opposite side of what you guys thought it would err on.

I'm getting the details from an RS1 battle (from the very session after) between me and an A- right now. Will be fun to compare.... but man I'm starting to believe the system doesn't use updated prestige in second session. 45-55 I would have expected moreso for an A+ than A++/A+++...and given the NC bumped out a 2R from 4 years prior, I don't think its crazy to look at this result and say the system doesn't use updated prestige.

Thanks cubs. This makes me believe A++ isn't a thing.

I think the concept of “A++” is legit, or at least some are a bit higher than others (probably capped at some point we don’t see, like I’m pretty sure A+++++ doesn’t exist). But I have always strongly suspected prestige is not updated for second session recruiting. I don’t think any lone example confirms anything when we don’t see all the variables, but I’ve seen plenty of examples, including this one, suggesting one thing, and nothing conclusive suggesting otherwise.

okay I have a good comparison here

I can show you its a thing. Need to wait 5 days or so to get battle results.

Interesting. I actually originally calculated it as exactly 54/46 for team B but skewed it more towards team A because of the mythical power of A++
