What's happening family!

Play update went live this morning. This was a hefty update but only 1 team received an entirely new playbook.

We added the Thunder's new plays.

The biggest thing I tried to do on the play side was clean up as many on-ball screens as possible. As some of you know the location the man setting the screen chooses isn't always exact this year.

I found a work around but it's far from perfect. Anyway I went back through as many plays as I could touch and added this work around so 75% of the IN PLAY on ball screens he should give a better attempt. This includes plays where the on-ball screen is not the main action.

If you have used the newer playbooks and noticed a difference in on-ball screens that is what I did for the other plays. Super time consuming but it feels better in the plays that were touched.

Also lots of clean up in some freelances as I went through looking for screen adjustments.

SO
Swing, Triangle, Warriors, Flow, Dallas, Hawks, all 3out variations and 4 out, and all the early offense have had some adjustments and a ton of plays have been adjusted as well. Far to many to name by name but no, every single action in the game was not touched for obvious reasons.

Gameplan updates

Cavaliers, Celtics, Trailblazers, Mavericks, Knicks, Grizzlies, Magic 95, Thunder, Clippers, Hornets, Nets,

All received gameplan updates.

This is probably the last major play update for the year. Many more plays and actions and freelances were touched and cleaned and refined.

Oh yeah and for the plays touched you should see the AI use the hand-offs slightly better as well.

Enjoy!

Play execution, flow, and overall usefulness is one of the areas in 2k16 that was an innovation. The hard work shows.

Re: March 9th Play and gameplan update

Thanks Czar. It is greatly appreciated.

One issue though. I noticed that the Hawks freelance seems glitched whenever i turn the playart off. Last year it was great to play without play art, but this year the freelance wont trigger certain actions with playart off. Even when i am standing in the proper trigger spots. You have done a great job with my Hawks freestyle, and i rarely have to call plays. I only wish i could use the full arsenal without playart.

What about the playbooks in Myteam? Can you update them too?

Re: March 9th Play and gameplan update

I know this is the wrong, but did anybody of you look into the Draft Classes bugs?

I'm talking about:

1. THE BIG WEIRD AND NON-SENSE RATING DROP

It happens mostly when you upload the DC in the first year (but I saw it happen also in year 3). At first glance the ratings seems to be exactly the same as the original Draft Class but if you take a closer look once draft happens, you will always notice at least one weird case when one player dramatically drops in 2 linked ratings. It happened multiple times with Speed/Quickness where I had guys super fast like Kriss Dunn dropping to 35/36 from the original values around 90.
But this is not limited only to quickness attributes, yesterday for example I had Buddy Hield with a hilarious 33/34 standing/moving 3pt shot, and neither to the role: for sure I saw it happening twice to Skal.
This bug alone is enough to ruin a draft class if it picks the wrong player, but I never saw anyone noticing this...is everyone fine with it?

2. NO MATTER THE ATTRIBUTES YOU SET, THE GAME WILL CHANGE THEM!

Every time you upload a draft class from year 2 and following, whatever the attributes are set, the game will change all of them and no one remains untouched! Same goes for the potentials and the overall ratings.

Some real examples?
Speed/quickness 92/94 changed to 82/99, handling from 82 to 88, or standing layup/driving layup 75/82 changed to 68/88. 92 potential downgraded to 86 and 88 upgraded to 96 as soon as drafted.

There's a reason if Draft Class makers spend so many hours tuning every single detail, so why should we accept that almost every single (because almost no one got untouched) attribute is touched in random way? And let's talk about the overalls...from year 2 everybody has a chance to be moved +2/-2 from is set value...again, why? And why this is not happening in year 1, where all the attributes seems to be ok a part from the huge drop bug?

Thanks for caring about these issues.

Re: March 9th Play and gameplan update

Do we get these in the latest roster or in the form of a patch? I haven't really had interest in these updates in the past.

Re: March 9th Play and gameplan update

Short question: Will this have an effect on existing Leagues? We have a My League Online ongoing, will this take effect on existing Playbooks, Freelances and else?
Thanks for the good work

These updates come with the latest roster. Once the roster is updated it will show in ongoing myleagues etc. The only exception is the new thunder plays will be in game but not assigned in a myleague or mygm that was already started.

We can't change playbooks of ongoing myleagues mygm's etc.
