Actually was thinking the exact same thing as Zorzii.

65-35 sounds about right to me as well.

Preferences are definitely weighted differently. What was VH, VH, etc for each team?

We can't really guess it without that info.

I'll guess anyway for now. 72-28 A

I have it a little lower than that, like 62-38 but it depends on the two middle preferences and prestige’s.

It was 62-38 so TJ was spot on...

in the order I put them it was playing time, wants success, perimeter o, strong conference.

I was surprised by this but I guess I shouldn’t be. I thought prestige counted for more.

A full letter grade is roughly 70% increase in effort

Wait...since when? In 2.0 a full letter grade was widely regarded as a 40% advantage, with 1/3 of a letter grade being (40^(1/3)) and 2/3rds of a letter grade being (40^(2/3)) advantage.

I wasn't aware of any changes to how prestige advantages worked in 3.0, other than they appear to matter less. And I use the word appear because prestige used to be 100% of the calculation where now if a player has 5 preferences prestige is roughly 1/6th of the calculation now.

I always used 70%.
12/15/2017 8:50 PM
I was guessing one of the VH's was distance, which threw my totals off a bit.

That's definitely on the very high side. I had a sitemail from Gillespie awhile back that broke it down pretty well but the gist was 40%. Jdno and tianyi, among others, also used 40%.

Anyone know the impact of coach longevity for preferences??
