Does anyone have any suggestions for the Pass Target Profile?

I'm trying new ones and currently running with it set as follows:
Pass Target Direction: 44
Pass Target Distance: 24
Pass Target Openness: 32

Defensive Awareness seems to have the biggest effect. Lower D awareness leads to more defenders biting on a pump fake.

Thanks Eccentric. This leads me into how I make changes to these sliders.

1. Play about 8 to 12 games or until first win with sliders the same
2. Determine what changes I want to see in the game
3. Make 1-2 corresponding slider changes.

My method is to change sliders primarily using exponents of 2 as I assume it is easier for a computer to handle. I also assume that it will keep me from making too many minute changes to the slider set as I try to incorporate other aspects of the game (coaching & team building). All sliders are given one of the following numbers/levels: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 50, 64, 99.
50 is used because it is a default point for most sliders. 99 is used as a max number. I prefer it over 100 as I assume that it will allow for more differentiation while applying a similar increase.

My most recent change was an increase to user defense on the jump shot gather and an increase to the CPU ball security. It felt easy to run around the CPU for a quick steal on the break or in the paint, though I am watching for a continuation of 'live' ball physics. The jump shot defense was raised to combat the abundance of last second shots that were falling from the defense. I hope that the CPU is still able to shoot over the defense (with good scorers).

I am currently 5-14 on these sliders with the Sacramento Kings (featuring Jackson Baldwin in MyGM). I am streaming my first game with these changes now.

What are all the slider values you've tried changing? I would assume this is affected by DEF Awareness as Eccentric said. I would also assume you've tried changing DEF Consistency and Contest Shots sliders.

If you can, upload/stream your full game. This way we can start comparing the situation/experience with the expectation and work together from there.

+: You are using this set?
+: This thread speaks about pump fake success. CaselH made the suggestion that Go for Steals slider may be related
