Hello,
We're glad to release the first big update of the year. It contains numerous updates in the simulation algorithm.
Our focus has been to improve how the players behave in the games (simulated and played) to reach a higher level of realism. You will for example note that Point Guards will shoot much less compared to the other players with the update. Your offensive leaders will receive more balls and take more shots!
In addition to that we've improved the shooting percentages, the number of turnovers and steals per games, the number of assists, or the rotations from the AI (to avoid benching the best players too much for example).
We'll keep focusing on the simulations and the bugs in the next updates. Our goal is simple: improve the simulations and the realism of the games.
As announced on discord, we'll also release a new version of the dataeditor soon fixing several issues and allowing the community to edit the sponsors!
Have a great evening!
