Touches Tendencies/Coach Tendencies

[MikeGiani]

Let's put together a good list.

NDAlum had a good idea for the touches tendency:

"Here's what I'm going to do and just call it a day:

All-NBA type player who can put up 30 any given night: 80
All-Star type player who can light it up: 70
Very solid scoring option: 60
Quality scoring option: 50
Role player who can score: 45
Role player who takes backseat: 35
Scrub/D-league: 20

Let's look at the 76ers
80: Nobody
70: Iguodala
60: Turner, Young
50: Williams
45: Holiday, Hawes, Brand, Nocioni, Meeks, Speights
35: Kapono, Brackins, Songaila
20: Battie, Quinn"

Lets also make sure that as soon as the insiders blog goes up, we bring this to his attention. I'm sure no-one wants to have to adjust this every time an update comes out....

you have to take into consideration each player's style not just if they're a star. the big problem is that most PGs have a low touch tendency so D rose is constantly dumping the ball off etc.

Of course for 2K11 this is the job. But aren't touches a team attribute, or coach attribute?

They could be set with a screen similar to rotation.

A coach looks at his personnel and style to determine who gets plays (touches) run for them. Then it would be an algorithm similar to rotation for the CPU teams to determine touches by player or position. When a player is hurt, or the roster changes, the CPU team re-calculates touches.

Something ugly I just tried. Hawes, C for Philly rated in the 60's - set touches to 70 for him. In played or simmed games he then scores 30ish PPG.

Just because a player gets touches shouldn't mean he scores. A bad player who takes lots of shots shouldn't become the league leading scorer. But that seems to be happening.

Usage % seems like the best estimator for touches tendency to me.

"the big problem is that most PGs have a low touch tendency so D rose is constantly dumping the ball off etc."

He also dishes out 4-5 APG. So that has to be balanced with his offense.
