Yeah I always care but sometimes man there is so much to do and truthfully almost no one outside of this forums knows who actually runs what. Van does a great job what I try to do is make sure he has enough options to make it what you guys want. Most years that is going to be the best I can do.

With series and freelance I am trying to give the AI lots of different ways to play. Again not about accuracy to team system at this point. It can't be until we get enough data in to represent every team and that could take years. Especially with coaching changes and system limitation and let's not forget people want something new each year as well.

So it is a process but people here generally understand that I do all I can regardless of the size of the community that uses the feature.

Depends on how well you shoot and defend in the final build. If you struggle with shooting early all-star is nice because the penalties for missing shot timing are less severe than on the higher levels. Also, you get more credit for contesting shots on that level.

So if you don't know the shot releases your going to have a real hard time staying in games on the higher levels just because you % is going to be very low.

So I would start on all-star until you get used to things. There are always people who can nail shot timing out of the box so they would naturally start on superstar or above.

Czar- Great to see you in here. Will we have the full power of CPU ACE and AI adjustments on All-Star and Superstar?

You’ve said in the past that we have to play on HOF to maximize the CPU ACE potential.

Thanks!

There are higher priority items prior to release. Plays will never be 100% accurate. They could be if I didn't do anything new and we didn't have freelances and series. But growing the game comes with consequences.

A great thing about our game is you can edit and make the playbooks whatever you want them to be.

Is there a way to carry a custom playbook into play friends or play now games?

To add another layer to that question can we specify our Freelance and/or Series in Coaching Gameplan before games in MyLeague and MLO ?

Hey, I'm a Knicks fan and I'm not sure they actually ran but 2-3 plays last year and one of them was a simple Carmelo type entry post iso clear to KP.

If there was any real rhyme or reason to their wheel type perimeter handoffs series I never saw it.

Gonna take time to see what Fizdale tries to install with this kiddie corps before KP comes back.

Not that I know of. When we discuss custom playbooks there are always technical obstacles. In years past it was an issue with syncing those playbooks between users that would cause disconnects online.

Now it is the fact that we would have to give up updating playbooks with the roster. I wasn't willing to make that sacrifice. Hopefully, something opens up the possibility in the future. I know people want that but I have not found a path to do it that I'm willing to take thus far.

It was in the design but didn't make the final cut. I know I know you guys want that! I almost sneaked it in there. Almost!

I'll have to check with OG on that one. Offensively it does not matter what level you play on ACE does it's thing. I believe we evened it out across all difficulties besides pro but don't quote me on that just yet.

There should be an OS MLO where guys are heavy in social media. OS has tons of individuals, but guys on this site rarely come together in the light. You included 23 and 24th letter. Yall should start something. This board has about 30 regulars who all do their own thing. Divide and conquer as the Pro-Am and Park guys clique up and the game becomes more tailored to them.

My sim nation thread got destroyed by some silly arguing over a My Team clip of all things...

Im down to start a new movement though, what yall wanna do?

Do any of the plays work with auto or is it all manual?

#SimNation President!! I always wanted to ask you this one question...for offline gameplay (myleague) do you prefer real player % or shot timing?? I always been a real player % guy myself but always wondered your thoughts on it.

Czar- Thank you. I would prefer to play on Superstar or All-Star, as long as we are not jeapordizing this beautiful CPU offensive and defensive AI logic.

Cheers!

Re: Gameplay Blog is released now! It's finally here

Da Czar, I'm not sure if it necessarily falls under gameplay or not but can you say if foul/substitution logic was addressed? Will the AI leave in players who are in foul trouble or leave them in?

Also, anything new with timeout logic for the CPU? Will they use more timeouts now? Will the AI recognize if a player on the user squad has activated their Takeover and call a T.O. to cool them off?
