I think I am at a point where I need some help if there is anyone else out there messing around with rosters to try to get the sim stats to look better. I have simmed over 30 seasons (2009-2010 season over and over) and have been seeing great improvement with my adjustments, however, there are still a few problems. The major problems I am having when simming a year are:
1. Guards seem to be scoring more than anyone else. I have fixed this problem so I have PF's and SF's in the mix and even being the leader at the end of the year on few occasions. However, centers still seem to be somewhat of a problem. Any suggestions?
2. Assist leaders. It is very rare for a guy to average 10+ assists for me. If it is done, it seems to be Rondo is the only one. I have messed with C. Paul's ratings/tendencies ALOT and still can't get him to average more then 7-8. Not a huge deal, but I would like to see guys like him, D. Williams, J. Kidd and others have a few more. Any suggestions?
3. Minutes per game. I post on another thread, but will repeat. When I sim games for New Orleans, C. Paul will go from getting 40 mins. to only getting 20 the next game. When he gets 40 mins. his stat line looks great, on 20 mins, it doesn't. This back and forth flow of mins. is why the assist numbers are down. Any suggestions? I have messed with rotations, and on one of my seasons I cut the roster down as much as the game would allow, and his mins. are still up and down. Who is running the point when he is on the bench for 28 mins?
4. Three point shooting is out of hand. When I first got the game I simmed some seasons (after playing alot) and noticed that some guys would shoot over 700+ three pointers. That is CRAZY. I have completely fixed this issue. You have to do some major editing, but it is pretty easy. instead of using a scale from 1-99, you need to use a scale from 1-18. The top guys in the league are the 18's. and go down from there. Don't be scared to put people at zero. If they J. Noah doesn't shoot a three pointer in real life for example, put him at zero. Guys like J.R. Smith, D. Granger can be an 18. Just use your own judgement. I wouldn't go over 18.
There are a few more problems, some I have solved, others I am just about there. Just thought I would put this out there and see if I get any response.
Thanks.
