Did you read OG's defensive blog ? If not it might be worth your time. Defender have perceptions so they can be late or miss their assignments all together.

the core help defensive system is better than it has ever been.

I know enough to be dangerous I read code much better than I write but my engineer is SUPER DOPE. So since I think like an engineer in some respects we have a nice middle ground where he develops the tools to give me as much creative freedom as possible and I am able to do some minor things in code so that he does not have to make everything super dummy proof and that saves him time.

That relationship is so critical to getting things correct because as you know the engineer has the final call. So sometimes, nay, MOST TIMES the most creative thing does not make for the most efficient code. LOL.

So he has to trust you and you have to trust him.

PWAAAISE THE LAWD!!

Great news. obviously things will not be perfect, but it sounds like big strides are being made in almost every direction, and I know that the first time I see an A.I. PG walk it up will put a massive smile on my face. My hype-meter has gone through the roof these past two weeks.

Yea man as we are working we still think like community guys so we know immediately what the next questions or desires are going to be.

If you recall what guys were asking for last year after the game shipped you should find a very high percentage of those things in these blogs.

We just have to do it step by step but as you know were always around and listening even if we are not responding.

Also apologies about the typos gents this treadmill is hell on my spelling. If you posted questions earlier I am making my way through the thread so just hang on. Will probably hop back on this evening/ afternoon as well.

This how i felt, when these BOMBS DROP, sept 4th, with the news, that my
favorite mode is back, #PracticePlayMode im estactic, cant wait to get back in tha lab, I spent plenty hours in there. Just wanted to say, I dont think we
as a whole #SimNation should take this mode for GRANTED, i know this was a big decision IF or Not to bring it Back ! Its a list 2K go by, SHOUT OUT to Leftosa for that input !

But with your Blog #Prez it only makes sence to bring it back, Its two much going on, ALL NEW PLAYBOOKS, 21 Freelances, 8 motion, THAT IS A LOT OF WORK in ONE DEV CYCLE, Looking foward to the proper vids for imformation
to get started on the new game year.
THANK YOU, MY DUDE @Da_Czar and thanks for them SHOUT OUTS on the podcast. I just smiled ! #SimNation !!!!!!

Yeah these 3 blogs addressed almost everything I asked for in a wishlist thread topic I typed so good looking out on taking the gameplay to a whole realistic level, that I don't know we have seen in any sport.

My last question I have is ACE running for human controlled team when in "Auto settings"?

I am thinking more for any matchups or pick and roll settings? I was just thinking if I pick the Bulls to control are they setup to defend the Pick and roll from default by ACE?

The other part of that is what about the guy who simmed 2 years in future by the time that coach was fired. Yea we have to put all the big brain boov's on that one.

We boov's LOVE new Blogs
