I'll also add that for me, the playbook makes a big difference in how I play. I spend a TON of time editing a playbook with the plays I want that fit my playstyle and roster.

Then I make sure my players have play assignments that make sense. Shooters have 3pt and Mid at the 1st and 2nd setting. Bigs mostly have P&R Man and their 1st setting. Wings and Guards have P&R Point, Ball handler, or Wing as their 3rd setting. Stuff like that that impacts auto play calling.

Also set a Freelance that you know. I use Flow. If you have not figure out a Freelance you like, I'd suggest taking the time to learn one. You'll have a better sense of how to trigger action if plays break down or don't get called.

Of course you might play totally differently than me so all of this may be moot.

Welp...I got smoked at home.

Knicks beat Seattle soundly. We forgot how to play defense. Day scored 45 in a losing effort. Brunson just went OFF scoring 58 in the win. Ouch.

Fun to see a full on start to finish loss. Now I want a game like this to go my way.

Hey, we remembered how to play defense this game. Yay!

Seattle won a close game with Denver. Joker did not score in the first half but was a rebounding beast. He had 16 boards in the first half. Then he found his scoring touch and put up 17. He finished with 17 points, 27 rebounds, and 6 assists. But it was not enough as the Nuggets only shot 41% overall and 31% from deep. 19 offensive rebounds kept them in the game.

Seattle scored well shooting 48% overall and 41% from three. Day had 34 points and 5 assists. Hobbs had a double double with 14 points and 11 boards. Baker also had a double double with 10 points and 10 assists. Wallace just missed his own double double with 9 points and 13 rebounds.

Another defensive gem against Cleveland. The Cavs shot just under 40% for most of the game but were down almost 30 going into the 4th. Instead of battling back, they tried to make up ground shooting 3s, ended up only shooting 32% and failed to get to the line once.

Mitchell had 30 and Garland chipped in 20 in the losing cause.

Seattle played a solid all around game at home. Day had 27 along with 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Hobbs added 18 points and 7 boards. Wallace had 12 rebounds as Seattle controlled the glass 54 to 41.

This was far and away the biggest blowout win of the season for Seattle.

I have dropped Layup Defense Strength (Takeoff) to 50 (down from 75) because there is so much defensive pressure near the basket and too many layups and close shots fail to score.

We'll see if this sticks.

Yeah - I like it. I'm keeping it along with these other tweaks. I have updated the first page.

Hustle – 65 (no more advantage for the human)
Ball Handling – 35 (to get more non-steal turnovers)
Hands – 35 (to get more non-steal turnovers)
Offensive Rebounding - 65 (no more advantage for the human)
Defensive Rebounding – 55 (no more advantage for the human)

Have you guys found a way to raise fast break points? Gameplay is silky smooth.
