You do this and the teams will utilize the right players even more so. and the star bigs will be forces.. A perfect example is the 01 lakers. I havent even looked at Shaq and Kobes touch numbers but I will safely assume that Kobes touches are probably as high as Shaqs. This should not be the case as it will not translate to Shaq dominating the post. Shaq should be maxed. Kobe at least 10 clicks lower. Then make sure everyone else is at least 10 clicks lower than him. Kobe will still hog and shoot the most, simply because of his high tendency to do so. But Shaq requires to get the ball inside before his tendencies even kick in. So make sure the CPU is forcing it to shaq every time they can.

Are you saying that the Touches tendency is more about playcalling? Then I wonder why they classify it under the "Freelance" category.

I don't think you need to worry about Shaq getting touches this year. I just witnessed a 12 minute CPU-CPU matchup between the Warriors and the 05-06 Heat where Shaq went for 42 and 16 with the out of the box ratings. He dominated Bogut the entire game.

One big problem I'm seeing so far is the CPU doesn't miss a single layup. Curry went for 50 points, even with my ratings that tend to reduce player ratings overall, partly because he made all 12 layup attempts (except the one that Shaq swatted into the crowd which made me jump out of seat). I'm guessing this is an overreaction to the annual complaining about the missed layups every year despite the fact that NBA players only make about 50-60% of their layups.
