And now I wonder why Leftos talked about coach and staff preferences/profiles being editable. If it's tied to teams, why would coaches even have offensive styles and preferences?

Unless they can get it in but I'm sure they'd never promise that then couldn't because yall would be livid lol

Anyway man I'm happy with this as a first implementation and it will only get better. This is akin to when tendencies were first added to 2K. Us Inside drive fans were screaming for it because we knew the impact it could make and Mike Wang came over from the ID team and we started seeing the impact immediately but it continued to evolve over time.

I like that 2k is taking risks too by not going all in for cheesers just for youtube hits and popularity because this is the kind of thing here that started it all anyway.

I think the core base fans and even the angry ones from long ago have wanted to see the foundation fortified like this for some time.

Just so happens its more than we expected at one time so far.

The fact that they can tune online and offline separate is vitally important. Online, the onslaught of complaining may eventually get them to cave, but offline should be good to go.

There are still things about the game that even if the game makes the right decisions defensively, the game still allows success. The defense is at the mercy of these mechanics. But this feature is a HUGE hurdle that seems to be close to being jumped.

I think thats okay as long as its not always EVERYBODY having mad success against correct defensive assignments executed well.

Yeah in the SimHangout Czar said he asked for it to the engineers but he wasn't optimistic it could get done.

So it's not case closed, but not looking good for this year.

And yes, of course, in context, it doesn't at all diminish all they did get implemented into the game this year.

I can bet its more complicated than just telling the system, take this here, and do it over here in a couple of lines of code.

I dont play online but honestly there is nothing bad about having defense in the game. Its been a long time coming

There are ways to beat full court presses. That's why NBA teams don't always do it

and on top of that they can tune things in the online game in updates
