How to make players play like themselves - The ATD Guide

Re: How to make players play like themselves - The ATD Guide

Ok, so its either me completely losing my mind, or AI is starting to take over the humanity by operation MIND****!


I tried once again the "experiment", but this time I put offensive playcalling to AUTO. Then I put ACE on only for offense.
Nothing. Everything was just the same.

Final resort was changing ALL FREELANCES to Philadelphia to default ones (Default, Freelance 1, 2 and some other).

Phila played exactly the same actions as with 4 previous Freelances



But you know what kills me the most?
After setting Simmons DISH tendency to 1, he still passes every bloody ball, he even passes most of the time when driving to the basket.


So would someone please explain WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!?

I think the actual game sliders can cause problems...like if the shot success is set too low, the CPU will pass out of that situation often because it's looking for the best available shot according to the shot success sliders.

Do coaches

- ratings
- badges and
- styles

have ANY influence on how CPU behaves in-game?

I have a strong feeling the answer is "no".

For instance, take a look at this game:

(time code - 3:45:00)

Before it I raised D'Antoni to A+offensive and A+ defensive rating
100 for his best proficiency

But I lowered Vogel to F/F, still left 100 for best profficiency.


I expected to see Lakers play really bad and to be losing big to Houston, but so far ... just another usual blowout or "blowout to be" for the Lakers.

Which is another topic, on how often Rockets get trashed by LAL in this game. And the global distribution of wins between Bucks/Lakers and the rest, which is just super-duper-unrealistic. I am breaking my balls for months to achieve somewhat realistic ratio, but so far no luck, it seems...

Maybe its different in MyLeague, these CPU vs CPU matches of mine are almost exclusively started in QUICK PLAY.
