I'm pretty sure team ratings are different each game due to things like game shape, home court advantage and the fact that there is some randomness in the game engine. However, it is my understanding that your team ratings are a reflection of your team's quality only and are not affected by the opponents tactics or player quality. If they were, then playing weaker opponents should raise team ratings but this does not happen.
Match up ratings on the other hand are affected by opponents tactics since these ratings reflect how well your players did against the competition. Playing an outside defense tactic should slow down the other players guards so their match up ratings should be lower.
