Highlight: Da Czar is taking over defensive AI after the recent departures. He said he had about 6 weeks to work with system this year but is really excited about what he'll be able to do with it going forward (as soon as patch updates this year?)

Edit: Video is of current gen but he's talking about next gen.

Great stream. Very happy to hear Daczar is now in charge of the defense.

Daczar said they’ve significantly toned down CPU double teams. He said you’ll need to score 40+ points before the double teams activate. (Excluding the post. This is relevant for double teams on guards and forwards)

No problem. And yeah I remember him shouting you out on the last one. Was lowkey surprised not see you this time around.

A lot of good stuff in there.

That was music to my ears, as well. That plus the way he was breaking down the pick and roll AI is getting me really excited for what defense can be this generation.

Yeah this livestream provided great insight. Especially when it comes to PnR defense. The AI hedge adjustments sound promising, but im really excited about the ball screen defender interaction.

He mentioned that if defender goes over the screen high enough they will clear it easier, but if they hit the screener in the middle portion of their body then the brick wall animations are more likely to happen. Something like that is what i've been waiting on forever.

Indeed. As a gamer all I want to know is how the game is supposed to work. I know it won't be perfect and there will always be tradeoffs. I like how Czar plans to emphasize basic defensive concepts first. Everything branches out from there. I finally understand why the CPU center reacts the way he does on screens. I understand the mechanics of the game much better now thanks to shot feedback. I know what the game considers an open or contested shot. I also think it's good to have the synergy behind the offensive and defensive systems.
