Attacking Article created by Steve Turner
Attacking is typically done by the OH, MB or RS. The Setter (S) can also get a kill but it is not very frequent.
The attack rating depends on the set rating and attacker's skill. Only 18, 14 and 10 attack skills shown here just to provide some different examples. Note that a player's attack skill is increased by 1 for home games. Attack rating can be 0 (poor) to 3 (excellent).
For each of the three categories below: Set 3 Rating, Set 2 Rating, and Set 1 Rating, each ATK SL has a chance to get an Attack 0-3 rating.
| ATK SL | Attack 3 | Attack 2 | Attack 1 | Attack 0 |
| ATK 18 | 42% | 45% | 11% | 2% |
| ATK 14 | 35% | 42% | 16% | 7% |
| ATK 10 | 28% | 37% | 19% | 16% |
| ATK SL | Attack 3 | Attack 2 | Attack 1 | Attack 0 |
| ATK 18 | 38% | 43% | 14% | 4% |
| ATK 14 | 32% | 40% | 18% | 10% |
| ATK 10 | 26% | 36% | 20% | 19% |
| ATK SL | Attack 3 | Attack 2 | Attack 1 | Attack 0 |
| ATK 18 | 32% | 40% | 18% | 11% |
| ATK 14 | 27% | 37% | 20% | 17% |
| ATK 10 | 22% | 32% | 30% | 25% |
Whether an attack is in or out depends on the player position, attack skill and attack rating.
Typically the best ATK ratings you will see are between 15-17. However there are rare situations where it can go much higher (up to 21). A 5-star recruit specializing in attack (with a max +2 for ATK) could start at 13 and be coached 6 times to reach 19. Fit can add 1 and playing at home another 1. Again, this is rare, but can happen.
Below is a listing of the chance for the attack to be in. Note that all percentages decrease by 1% for each attack (ATK) skill drop of 1.
