Its not coming out until next week.

heh, TK used to test/tweak stuff in the engine for weeks during actual games before releasing updates, no reason to believe differently now

once again, ive continued to see results that dont line up at all much worse than any time recently, especially in regards to rebounding.

really tk did that - interesting - dalter and I used to sitemail each other and say that we thought the engine changed because of this or that, was alot more into the game at that point I guess.

vandy - are you saying the engine is working right now about like it did before the update, more or less?

back when i was really into it i remember more than once saying i felt something odd was happening in a ticket and he would always say he was "trying a few minor tweaks" or stuff like that.

im specifically meaning the past 3-4 days, not necessarily in regards to press, more overall but especially rebounding. it could just be random chance, but my head-scratchers seem to all be piling up at once

We just played a team who best rebounder was a 64. We have a 95, 82, 64 and we had the same amount of rebounds - 22 each. Offensive that is. We out rebounded them 50 to 22. A few days ago I would have never expected this, even with the 2 rebounders who have the edge in this game. Maybe 37 to 28 or something, but not this extreme.

i like this set of changes. almost sounds like he copy-pasted right out of a sitemail i wrote, so i really can't complain about any of it. especially the fatigue thing, that one is much needed IMO.

Quick update on release: it looks like there are a bunch of worlds in the postseason or close, so I will wait until there is a better window.
