The changes to foul outs were mentioned in a recent post. What is the percentage of foul outs now compared to before the change?

On a related note, what has been the increase of assisted shots, and also what has been the increase in points scored in games since the change to assists in the last few seasons?

If you are not aware of the exact numbers, why not? When changes are made they must be tracked to see if the effect is too much or too little.

is draft menu not available at apps?

Quick synopsis of what I’ve been seeing with the game engine, if you can just confirm.

1) All game outcomes are highly predicated by what the team ratings are. Team ratings are highly influenced by the PG and C with the other positions adding to them. In this scenario, it would seem OD, PA, ID, and REB should be covered by the PG and C positions with all other ratings being filled in by the SG,SF, and PF ?(based on the style of team you would like)

2) secondary to the team ratings are the individual matchups. These matchups can be boosted by the team ratings, so a guy whom may not be the best shooter may still shoot well if the team ratings are high for outside shooting.

3) If a high passing guard has low shooting, but overall the team shooting is high, will that high passing guard shoot better than if the team ratings were lower? (This piggybacks of #3, and is also just to verify what I am seeing with my own players).

4) Does a guy with high JR “open” the floor up for potentially more assists? I see high JR players repeatedly get more assists than low JR players.

5)One thing I’m noticing is that REB on guards may be more valuable than REB on bigs. By having similar rebounding skills on guards, I’m finding that the guards are actually getting just as much, or more, rebounds. I’m assuming this is because the GE sees a large disparity in rebounding between my guards and the opponents, and then the GE uses those disparities in the outcome of who gets the rebound after a shot?

Thanks guys!

Hi, I wanted to bring up the fact that there seems to be a trend with regards to Box defenses and Isolation offenses, probably given the success in NT level games.

Are you happy with the current state of these? To be honest, it may appear that any box defense stops and deals with any attack, inside or outside, fast or slow, which at first glance could be counterintuitive or too much of a jack of all trades.

Thank you.

Excellent
