Yea, this is big time. I hate people who swear that running the same play is cheese. I've seen teams run the same set 3xs and get a different outcome.

This snap series is great because now I can run a set that has the same initial setup but ends differently. I have to see how this plays out in the game though

You know what, it's up to us to promote these features and get it out there through our gameplay. Czar said the reason they take a lot of stuff out of the game is because not many people use it....since they can measure everything.

Last year i was in the top 100 in My Team Supermax by running plays and playing good SIM ball. I posted videos of me utilizing all the creative isolation moves to let people know that this stuff exists and it's effective.

It's time for the SIM community to get out of our little box and take these things online to prove to the masses that high level basketball is both effective and fun. Its fine if you wanna stay offline and use these things in MyLeague, but just realize, the less people that use these great features, the more likely they are to be taken out

Da_Czar played a tough game on all star difficulty...that in itself tells me all I need to know about this game, myleague is about to consume my soul if all this artificial intelligence pans out! I love a challenge, especially when it makes sense and does not feel cheap.

This! I'm all for getting beat provided it's actual strategy and not just boosting the CPU attributes. I feel like we're getting close...

That's almost exactly why I stopped playing on HoF. The problem wasn't the CPU opponent being too difficult, it was the way they let them routinely get the best animations and meanwhile my team mates would either make incredibly bad decisions, stand around and do nothing, or just plain brick repeatedly on basic shots that high school kids can make with regularity.

I posted a Zip Hammer play on twitter and the Milwaukee Bucks E-league exec started following me and ironically people loved it.

Posted another video people loved that one too, so I pretty much decided im going to do something this year, maybe with the series stuff and post it.

I Shalt Not let the Prez down.

I fully support this; I am all for anything to get players playing reasonably realistic basketball instead of just exploiting video game mechanics.

This is all nice, just as long as the CPU opposing team utilizes all the plays in the playbook and not just 2-3 of them like in previous years.

Not sure if you read through the blog or not, but its one of the first paragraphs.

AI PLAY DISTRIBUTION

- Last year we heard from our users that despite the size and depth of our playbooks our AI seemed to repeat some plays and rarely select others. So, despite a player having many plays assigned, users were seeing the same few plays repeatedly.

We found that the AI gave too much credence to the dominant play-type of a particular player. This was made worse if you had two or three top scorers with the same top play-types they would essentially take turns running the same block of plays.

This year we reorganized that logic to enable a more even distribution of plays throughout a players assigned play-types.

The only caveat being if the AI detects a positional mismatch. This is a situation where the defender assigned to a star on your team is an inferior post or perimeter defender. In this case the AI will attack you with isolation and post actions until you switch that matchup.

If I learned anything from 2K is don’t believe what you read (the false advertising authentic areana sounds and scans)

I am also concerned about opposition CPU substitution logic, do we have to manually set them up for the CPU teams for proper substitution patterns instead of seeing 5-man line changes? It was very tedious and time consuming last year even though I was glad 2K gave us that accessibility.

Definitely wouldnt group Czar with any of that....but I know not everyone knows his resume.

It's ultimately up to you whether you want to believe it or not..just pointing out what's there in case you missed it.

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

This right here is why I can comfortably play MyLeague/MyGm year round and never get tired of the experience.

I don't play many new video games and 2k is the reason why, there's nothing like getting immersed in a deep, dynamic infinitely repayable franchise mode against AI opponents that act and react intelligently.

I can't emphasize my appreciation and gratitude to everyone working on the offline experience for delivering something that gives me so much entertainment and to think it gets better each year is just incredible.

The overwhelming positivity and excitement in here says it all.

Fair enough, that’s why personally I will be waiting a few weeks after the game is released, monitor the impressions from users here and ask plenty of questions before deciding on making a purchase.

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

Default playbooks has to be fixed first or users gonna be seeing plays that actual teams don't even bother to do in real life.

they were all wrong in 2k18.

Rotation time line has to be fixed too.
