TOMBA 2K12 Player Shot Tendencies Edit

From working on the coaching profiles and making sure that the shots taken within the coaching profiles follow true NBA data I thought it important to detail how player shot tendencies work and have been edited in TOMBA 2K12.

For coaching profiles I took HoopData.com statistics for shot locations per team and married them with the shot locations for players within the individual player shooting tendencies. Meaning...

I basically created a numbering system of only 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 to produce a more clear path for the game engine to focus on the type of shots that should be taken rather than having too close of an odd rating to determine what they end up shooting as a team and as a player...

Below is an example of the formula.

Here are the Shot Tendencies:
Shot Tendency
Inside
Close
Mid-Range
3 Pt
Putbacks

Examples of some players with their shot tendencies edited with comparisons to 2K default ratings.
