Adding another staff-member, a scout. Giving him info about the type of player you search, everytime there is a player like that on the market, you get a pm about the player and his skills

Greetings to all :

Now with the implementation of the PDP , it occurred to me (and commented on some chat league ) the possibility that the viewer(on live) can place text at the end of the second quarter ( half the game ) where a text comment PDP if predictions were correct or not so that in the second part of the game you'll be more drama to the game having hit upon an idea whether or not these predictions. for example:

1. if it can predict the focus and pace :
" The X team to counter the offensive known opponent with a good defensive approach , have also hindered the gameplay team Y"

2. if it can predict the rhythm and focus fails
" The X team maintained control of the team 's offensive and yet the team and has a good consistency in his play . "


3. if it can predict the rate but not the focus ( not opposite ) :
" The X team has looked somewhat uncomfortable with the team's offense and has made him stop but its symmetry in many offensive plays "

3.1 if it can predict the rate but not the focus (opposite) :
" The X team has looked terrible with his defensive strategy but has remained balanced offensive team Y"

4. if we fail to predict the rhythm and focus (not opposite ) :
" The team players have marked X and disorderly way of defending has not been as expected "

4.1 if it can not predict the rhythm and focus (opposite) :
" The X team is ranked very poorly on defense and not find a way to counter the speed of the computer and"

5 yes no prediction is made :
" The X team has remained cautious and defensive players have preferred to wait every offensive play Team Y"

the text can be improved but the idea is that with this information on the break can have an idea about the prediction of the PDP and not wait until the end of the game. this would also be an incentive for those who see the game live namely stay at halftime predict whether or not the PDP.

thanks and success.

"Jump Range" should be replaced with "Shot Range".
Right now it suggests that the skill shows how far/high the player can jump. But, by reading the description in the game manual, I believe that's not what you want it to suggest. ;)

Players tend to get on hot streaks and cold streaks:

I propose that there be bonuses and penalties to players (minor ones), based on their play. If a player gives up 5-6 lay ups in a row, he's going to somewhat lose confidence in his defense, and either foul more, or give up another easy lay up.

On the other side, if he is mentally strong from either experience or being clutch, he would lock down and fix it.

3pt shooters, will feel a rhythm after making a few shots and then it's like they can't miss, and on opposite side, if they keep missing they have a hard time taking the lid off the basket.

I just think "hot" and "Cold" streaks for players would add some element to the games.

I like it. This would really diversify the game.

I think there's some hidden attribute already that at least somewhat approximates this. I know I've seen players go on a streak of missing ten shots (often to start the game) despite a very good PP100 and later when they start hitting, they are semi-automatic. Heck, my team as a whole seems to have that tendency - there'll be a stretch in most games where I'll score maybe two points in six minutes, and other stretches of close to 20 points in six minutes. Many of the trends seem to happen similarly enough that while I know we'll never get confirmation, I imagine there's something to it.

Uhhhm... Game Shape?!?!?

I think he means within a single game...
And game shape is only affected by playing time...

Guy who responded to you first answered, so I'll just reiterate it by saying.


I can play 65 minutes in a week and be in great gameshape, proficient even, but if during the 65 minutes I shoot 0-34. I think that'd be a pretty bad cold streak, and not "proficient" in that sense.

Wouldn't that depend on a lot of things other then GS? Exp, level of passing, choice of offense and opponents defense. I have players that in the wrong offense and against the wrong opponent surely could shoot such bad percentage without it being very strange.

Oh absolutely, but even through all that would you expect an 0-34?

Cold streaks and Hot streaks, just saying if its not already something in place. It'd be a nice addition.
