Player shot location tendencies dictate how often/willing a player will shoot from that location when inside that location. Obviously the higher the number the more likely they will shoot.
Now coach shot location tendencies alter player location tendencies either (+ or -), with 50 being neutral (no alterations to player tends).
So if you want a team to shoot a particular shot more than others (say to make a 3pt heavy team) you would need to jack the 3pt coaching slider way up. So that when the player gets the ball behind the 3pt line they will shoot.
With the gameplay sliders altering rating 1.5 points per 1 click, it is likely that the coaching sliders alter at the same rate. With that said, raising the 3pt coaching slider to 75 (25 point increase from 50) would increase everyone's 3pt shot location tendency by 37.5-38.0 points. So a 50 3pt tendency would now be a 87-88.
- Roster ratings + tendencies = gameplay.
- Coaching sliders alter roster tendencies (per team).
- Gameplay sliders alter roster ratings (attribute section) and tendencies. (all players)
A coaching profile with all sliders at 50 would make no adjustments to the players tendencies and allow the players to play off theirs only.
So a edited roster = best thing to do first, then coaching profiles to match coaches gameplan/style, then gameplay sliders IF NEEDED, they shouldn't be needed with a fully edited roster/coach profiles.
