How much does "dimer" actually help?

Re: How much does "dimer" actually help?

Dimer is worth it, if anything just for the elimination of pass accuracy. You no longer can "miss" a pass. You can, however, get your passes stolen. throw a less than ideal pass, or have teammates with bad hands bobble the ball. The accuracy simply refers to the fact that, if it was an open court with no players around except you and the receiver, you will be accurate 100% of the time.

As for the % boost, I only have level 1 Dimer because an Athletic SF can only reach level 1 (hate that), and it still does wonders. It can't fix bad players, but your shooters make a lot more shots and inside passes are money most of the time unless the person is really bad inside or gets blocked. If you want assists, I certainly recommend this sig skill.

But what I hate is it doesn't apply to ALL passes. Just like you said, if my defender is playing me on the perimeter and I want to pass it into the post from the wing, i pump fake to draw him closer and WITHOUT hitting the left trigger (or LB) he tries to bounce pass but he doesn't do it to the side like he's supposed to, but he throws it at the guy's FEET for a turnover.

then there's still time i'm driving to the lane, see J.R. smith on the 3 and i kick it out, only for him to bobble the pass, attempt to shoot and get blocked because he took to long to make the shot!!!

And then don't even get my STARTED about making passes to a big off a pick and roll. they just stick their hands up in the air, no looking back, no way he could have known AT ALL where the ball was going to be or even that i'm passing it! but i get a turnover.

and then there's the fact it doesn't apply AT ALL to alley-oops.

that ooper sig skill is ********, just get that out of there. and break starter is pointless too, i make perfect outlet passes with Dimer.

It works wonders for my myplayer PG.

Re: How much does "dimer" actually help?

A lot of you guys mentioned players that have dimer (4-10% increase) AND floor general (+4 points). You might be seeing a compound effect that you may not see otherwise with dimer alone. Al Farouq Aminu with 69 mid and 69 three, could be shooting with 80 mid, 76 three with those two SS.

It turns battier into the best shooter in the game...

Denver nuggets are so awesome this year, because Andre miller has floor general and diner. Their second unit can score just as good as their first. Floor general gives Jordan Hamilton a 4 point boost to Jordan Hamilton's 79 3 point rating turning it into an 83...add a diner assist that adds 10 percent, and that 79 just went up to a 90.

This explains so much about playing against the Clippers. It makes Butler a 92, Crawford a 87, Billups a 95... no wonder people with the Clippers score 40% of their points with Butler and Billups from the 3Pt line.

Re: How much does "dimer" actually help?

Dimer in my PG's MyCareer has turned Jason Maxiell into a legit 4th option on offense...and a ridiculously good pick and roll partner which is a bit ridiculous considering he is no where near that in real life. Add floor general to that, and Rodney Stuckey and Greg Monroe suddenly turn into Dwyane Wade and Tim Duncan.(Well, close at least)
