Team rating calculation

[Soitanen]

Tried to use search for answer, but had no luck. What is correct method to calculate team rating to display during Ron Barr speech? Is it average of all players in roster, or only players in Lines, or even startup Line?

The overall team rating is a "hardcoded" number in the game, not a calculation that the game does.  There's a number for each team, more information can be found here:  https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/1332-how-can-you-edit-the-overall-team-rating/#findComment-85846

Yeah, I know, that is coded into ROM, so question is, is there a "standard" method for calculation? I understand, that I need to calculate it by myself and put into ROM.

No, there's no standard.

I used to use a function that did a weighted average like this.

Sort the players by rating and position. Call the best forward F1, etc.

Sum = F1x3 + F2x2 + F1x1 + D1x2 + D1 + G1x3

Rating = Sum/12

Except I think I factored F4 and D3 into the rating as well... This was for a no-line-changes draft league. For a general ROM, you might do something like...

Sum = F1x9+F2x8+...+F9x1 + D1x6+D2x5...+D6x1 + G1x9 + G2x3

Rating = Sum/(sum of multipliers in the line above)

I think I also added the best player in an extra time since a single good player can make a bad team OK (e.g. Klima on the Oilers)

Curious what others use. I've used a different weighted system to smoz depending on the context, but usually I have full line changes on so the Team Overall rating is simply just an straight up average of the Overall rating of every player on that team.
