Player Tendencies in NBA 2k16 that CAN'T be Edited & SAVED in Draft Class & CAP

[vtcrb]

I have seen it posted guys were Noticing that Tendencies were Resetting on Draft Class Prospects and CAPs. So I went thru and set ALL Tendencies on a Player to ZERO and Saved it and Exited out. I re-opened the Player and Below are the List of Tendencies that Reset to DEFAULT of whatever the player was created at.

Jump Shooting

Shot Under Basket
Shot Close Left
Shot Close Middle
Shot Close Right
Shot Mid Range Left
Shot Mid- Range Left-Center
Shot Mid-Range Right-Center
Shot Mid Range Right
Shot Three Left
Shot Three Left-Center
Shot Three Center
Shot Three Right Center
Shot Three Right



My Conclusion is these are Actually HOT Spots, because as You can see the Range of the Shot is Not Reset just the Location of the Range Shot.

Just wanted to pass these on to all Editors. Hope this Helps.

Special Thanks to Aquaman OS for pointing the issue out that got me to investigate.

Yes, the tendencies that combine distance and angle are hot spots mostly used for simulated games. The fact that they reset to different values when edited is a known issue that we're looking to fix. It's definitely unintended, but they don't affect all that much.

The distance tendencies (shot close, shot mid range, shot three, etc.) that aren't combined with an angle are last year's tendencies that determine a player's preference in shot distance. Those save properly after being edited.

The simulator first evaluates the distance, and then looks through all the hot spot tendencies for that distance to determine the probability of the angle.

So until that's fixed, you might not get the simulated shot locations and shot charts to be perfect(tm), but they shouldn't affect your overall experience that much, especially for games played with the gameplay engine.

Thanks for weighing in buddy. I appreciate the Clarification. I do have 1 More Question Below?

What about the Moving Shot Tendencies? Are they GONE and replaced with the Hot Spots? Or Just Gone?

Leftos, why did the team decide to remove MOVING shot tendencies this year? So when I edit players, I am no longer able to manually increase their tendency to shoot a midrange jumper off the dribble

I will do some test sims, with this draft class to see how the rookies play in game.

I have been trying to figure out a Tendency that replaced it and I cant find anything either. Remember it Used to be a Hidden Tendency, I am guessing that has happened Again.

UPDATE

The issue is ONLY with Draft Classes. I can make a CAP and ADD him to the Roster and Edit ALL Tendencies with NO Issues. But if I try to do it in the Draft Class screen with SAME Player it RESETS the the Tendencies.

I created a class already with like 40 some prospects done for PC. I hope the fix doesn't force anyone to have to REDO classes from scratch...
