But yes there will be a bump in turnovers and steals.

That won't be universal though will it? Presumably more turnovers from bad players, fewer from good players.

Is it there a thread or extended info on the newly implemented GE? Aside of the succint piece of news.

It is my understanding DR is a skill you must have across the lineup if PA was an issue in your team. Has this changed? Is PA across the lineup a slower yet more effective scoring method for neutral-slow attack options?

Edit, I mean slower yet more effective to train than DR

I'm in agreement with your read until the "and maybe" bit. This is how I would reason about the other consequences of the change:

- JS still affects the assisted shots, so I wouldn't say that its impact is reduced. If anything, it might even be increased.
- DR is affected because we should expect fewer drives (within most offense types).

The other skill that it seems to me should be affected is OD. In the GE, OD has two roles:
(1) force more shots to be defended
and
(2) when a *jump* shot is defended, it is the defensive skill involved in reducing its percentage

Role 1 remains unchanged, role 2 is reduced for the simple reason that fewer shots are defended.

(In the match-viewer, assisted shots show up as undefended, which makes it natural to suppose that they do not involve a OD check in the GE)

Amen!

Glad someone mentioned it at last. I do believe this is the main reason behind the change.

I considered keeping it for myself and for those who can reason to the same conclusion.

Why is it that whenever I read an answer from you or your other french friend you are always complaining about something

If saying that each significative change should be carefully thought about and that we should be warned in advance given this is a slow and long term game, if saying this is complaining, then yes I love to complain.

Edit : I see your team is less than a month old. You must have read a lot about us to make up your opinion... (:
And by the way, my past jobs included a lot of change management, so I know quite a few things about the subject.
