Quick Question: Under Coach's Profile, what should the Offense focus be for all the teams? Star players? Neutral? Pick and Roll?

[jattnanga]

Testing Results:

I played two 12 minute quarter games on Superstar Sim with default sliders as the Bulls.

Game 1 Golden State 108-88 Chicago
The tempo of the game was frenetic I was losing klay and iguodala in transition regularly. Steph led them with 28. There was constant motion and I had a difficult time employing Thib's defense because there was a constant scramble in the half court.

Game 2 Sacramento 78-92 Chicago
I was able to control pace the whole way as I iced their pnr's and rotated early enough to force skip passes and kept everyone but boogie cousins under rap pretty well (he finished with 24 and 17).

Opinions:

After the Golden State game I was concerned that the cpu had become too efficient and that the playbooks had overpowered the cpu. However, after playing the second game against the Kings, I realized that was not at all the case..as they were more distinctly a halfcourt team with plays that were more defined and readable. Sac's offense was much easier to defend as they didn't have the effervescent flow that the warriors seemed to have. It was perfect.

Overall, vann is really on to something here with how he's choosing which plays he puts in the playbooks because the cpu is calling multiple plays in the halfcourt per possession and some of those are called based on the best available play given the spacing and player alignment at that moment in time..and the plays he's choosing for each team are doing a very good reflecting the varying styles...ball movement vs. pnr vs. low post vs. pinch post vs. screens for shooters etc.

Excellent Work.

Ok guys heading to bed but wanted to give an update of where we are at. We got 15 teams done. Sorry I havnt had any time to enter them yet in op as I have been working on them religiously the last 3 days. I will try and get them all up tomorrow at some point. Were half way there.

Teams done as of now...

Blazers
Warriors
Spurs
Kings
Knicks
Mavericks
Bulls
Raptors
Rockets
Suns
Lakers
Cavs
Grizzlies
Wizards
Hawks

It takes a good 3 hours to select playbooks and go through notes for each team and that's not counting the amount of times watching games, researching team info, watching you tube videos, etc. I feel like these playbooks are getting better as I go now that I got offensive packages set up for play types like horns, flex, pinch post, etc. That being said I already have some plays I want to get into the early teams I did once I'm done. I also need to reorder plays just in case CPU does select them more often from 1st play to the last in a play type. I also want to get more In Depth with the PNR game as far as locking down where these picks are coming from and what angle. If a team runs screen the screener action or has running picks coming to set the PNR I'm getting that in but if these are occurring from an angle or top of key or sideline I want to get more in depth as well as if picks are coming after a pass or 2 or immediately once crossing half court, etc.

Anyways, look out for the teams listed above tomorrow sometime. Also, special thanks to jattnanga for all his help and sending me scouting info and notes. The Knicks are all his work as his specialty is the triangle offense. He did a great job with their playbook! Thx again! Were half way home! I'm hoping to have all teams done by Friday at the latest time permitting...

Vann do you find you only need minimal slider tweaks with these updated playbooks?

And these are based off default rosters?
