SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

[23]

We have been flooded with information and I was asked to post this so you fellas know.

After reading the blogs, Da_Czar and Scott OG will be interviewed tonight on their own show by Sim Nation host Books Nelson aka Bornindamecca.

It's on every Friday night at 10pm EST and its a blast, especially in the chat room.

Join in, but put your questions in this thread so Books can see them and hopefully he gets to ask them for you live on stream.

Re: SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

Are you allowed to assign a certain player to make passes?

For example, let's say you run the triangle by your best passing big is not your PF, but your center. Can your center become the one relied upon to make those passing plays?

Have cutting plays been re-worked so that they are actually useful and can actually result in an alley oop instead of a play where the cutter is crowded, preventing a pass.

In regards to new coaches, created coaches developed by the game and players that become coaches in the franchise modes, what happens to them? Do they have a randomized scheme or grades?

For example, if Kobe becomes a coach, does he run the triangle? Does his offense have an A grade because he was a known scorer?

Is there any variation on the types of shots bigs take? In the past the fadeaway was abused and used, in respect to AI controlled bigs, too much. For ex. Guys like Howard and Noah would constantly throw up fadeaways instead of hooks. Has the logic there been reworked? Like are there actual tendencies for the types of shots each big takes and if they look to back the defender down first, etc. ?

Re: SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

1. What lab was Da_Czar built in? What was the ultimate goal of creating a robot that can consume basketball knowledge and how did it end up working for 2k?

2. On the topic of the adaptive coaching engine and all 30 coaches having their own style. What happens when you're about 10 years into MyLeague and your coach isn't one of the 30 current head coaches. Will he still have his own style? Will he be based on one of the 30? Will all the other coaches be the same in their approach to the game?

To go along with this, what effect if any does coaching style have on minutes as well as morale?

Can players in my league and my gm be frustrated because they don't feel that they can fit the system?

If a coach prefers to use small ball, will that actually have an impact on decisions made by the gm or the minutes that a legitimate center would play on that roster?


Will players factor in the head coaches scheme when picking teams in FA?

Oh and this isn't a simnation type question but I've asked it for every Q&A. Can someone please confirm that;

A) Hockey substitutions are a thing of the past.

And

B) Coaches will sub guys in and change the lineup to take advantage of a mismatch?

Books its me teebone21, big question for me " how does individual players defensive IQ affect the game now as well as on ball defense ratings? Will I be able to lockdown people with Jimmer Ferdette just because he is user controlled or will the rating of the guy i control matter?

Re: SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

How customizable are all the defensive options?

Yup, I have a ratings question that should definitely cover this. Got you!

Re: SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

Defensively, how much will the athletic ability of a player impact things? There are guys who aren't exactly high I.Q defenders but have quick hands and good reactions, is this something we'll come across in 2k? What about strength and the build of a player? Will we feel a difference playing defense as a bulky low center of gravity guy like Z-BO versus playing as a more lanky and agile guy like Bosh?

After all the film your guys watch for 2k16, who would you say is the most underrated coach?

Sounds like the coach would have a major presence in My Career?

Hey! Just want to know if rebounding an pretty much an empty stat again.

Re: SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

Cool, a Q/A!!


1) Quick Post Up - Any changes or will it default to PF or C? Can we select who we want to post up if we get a tasty mismatch or want to feed a particular hot hand?

2) Fastbreak logic - thought I read or heard somewhere that the logic filling lanes, etc. was addressed? Is having a wing or forward innexplicibly run to the 3 pt line gone, or are such actions controllable?

Re: SimNation Sim Hangout Tonight taking question (Da_Czar & OG)

First if all, thank you Da_Czar, OG, 2K, Borning and OS.!

Please forgive if I get to the point of bothering but have some questions ... then again, before I post them, let me say that todays I have just preordered the game thanks to the goods been revealed today, I always preorder, but this made me do it like right away, first time ever. Loved everything. Something that stood out was the attention given to lite play art, loved it as I almost coundt run it and was drained by all the lines of the full.

So ...

- Mr. Mike talked earlier about how much would team chemestry impact the oncourt actions of teams ... was this implemented ? If so, how does it impacts the on court actions ? Can team chemestry be user edited (in my league and main mode) or is it as traditionaly locked for devs/2k only ? Does it affects the sim engine and/or team ratings, if so how ?

- Do deafult freelance offenses & subsets and team defensive phylosophies & D schemes can be assigned to AI teams by users ... like an editor option, such as assigning plays to team playbooks ? At least for my league and main mode.

- Do AI teammates look to position themselves into places that facilitate a pass out of an on going double team ?

- How much of an effect do player ratings have on the on court actions ? I mean, how much of a difference would ratings make on players rotating late or from incorrect places or not spacing the floor correctly or picking up their dribble when crowded or not been able to throw passes out of double teams ?

- How much control do we have on inciding and deciding what player(s) get favored the most on offense (gets more touches) and what plays and playtypes are run more ?


Finaly, would love to see some type of video duel ... were OG does a little video talking about some type of Defense and then Da_Czar does a little video showcasing an offense that somewhat breaks down that type of D ... and visceversa, Da_C doing an offense video and then OG doing right back a D video that can contain such type of O. In essense, there are no winners, well, maybe us the customers.
