Sorry, I'm still working out a few kinks with my newest set. The CPU defense is playing great and reacting/rotating VERY well, but I still think there's a little room for improvement there. Also, your AI-controlled teammates don't have quite the same reactions/rotation on defense yet, so I'm working on that.

The hardest part is nailing down the CPU tendencies. One small tweak leads to lightning-fast offense, way too many points in the paint, ridiculously high shooting percentages, etc., while another small tweak has the opposite affect and yields too many jumpshots (many contested), and just overall unrealistic gameplay. Smoothing this out is my biggest challenge, as I have to make it work alongside my defensive tweaks for the user's AI teammates.

This is taking a little longer than usual because I essentially reset all of my sliders to the Simulation setting and worked from there with minor tweaks. I am also trying to pinpoint the absolute-best Game Speed setting, which is just adding to my frustration. Finding the right Game Speed setting is essential IMO, as it has a great affect on the overall "feel" of the game. Player movement, ball movement, and overall animation speed are all affected by this one setting, and I just HAVE to get it right.

My goal is to make this game as good as it can possibly be, on all levels, and not just putting out something that's "good enough". I'll get back to work on Sunday or Monday with limited/no distractions, and the next week or so is wide-open for me. Expect a few updates this week and, more than likely, a set that impresses me enough to remove the "BETA" label coming sometime next weekend

Your previous setting of 60 in Game Speed seems to be really fine to me.

It greatly reduces the number of shot attempts plus speeds up those horrible set-shots most players have by default.

Real life keeps piling things on whenever I think I can devote significant time to this game. I'm still plugging away and putting in work when I can, so an update will be coming. Just not as soon as I was hoping

Tried your sliders way too many points in the paint I still won but I believe rockets of all team out of their 113 had 96 points in the paint.

I haven't played with the slider set on page 1 in over a month, but even then I was holding teams to 40-50 PiP. Not to worry though, today just may be the day I finally get my new sliders released
