Yes but that's not a tendency for where they like to shoot.

I don't care if Kobe likes to drive right. I want the game to also know he likes to take mid range jumpers instead of driving to the basket.

The tendencies you mention are minor. They don't do much but tell you how to defend them. It's a good addition but it ignores the most basic element to making these guys play like themselves.

Nothing in those tendencies or ratings tells the AI that Dirk Nowitzki likes to take mid range jump shots.

It says he can shoot mid range jump shots successfully. It says he likes to go one direction over the other when he takes mid range jump shots. It also says if he prefers to post up to get the ball.

But it does not say Dirk Nowitzki has a tendency to shoot mid range jump shots. So there is no way to get Nowitzki to play like himself.

Instead he posts up by the blocks and goes the direction he likes and makes the shot. That's nice of him to do so, but nothing close to the type of player and game he plays.
