At the buzzer..... Topic

It appears to me in this game, a lot of times in end of game situations, there are lots of odd outcomes. In my games i have an 8th man taking last minute shots. Or I had a freshman that had 0 FG attempts in the game, played around 2 min, but with no time on the clock in a tie game, he buries two FTs for the win.

I feel like the engine should give the last shots of the game to the highest distro player on your team that game. And i don't see any reason why that's not obvious to the programmers.

I don't think if you have 10 shots at the buzzer in a season, the highest distro will take all 10. Many factors, double teams, stamina issues, foul issues, probably many more. But in the same manner that it's programmed that a rebound is going to go to a player with a 99 REB a larger number of times than it will go to a player with a 62 REB, they could factor that in.

I don't know how the software operates. But they can easily add a "end of game" to it, where it aims to give shots to the higher distro players. I'm tired of looking at 78-77 scores and checking the play by play for an entertaining finish, only to see a bench freshman who is only on the floor because I offered him promised minutes, hit or miss game winners.

I've got the D2 version of Michael Jordan on my team, and in 2 seasons of him being outstanding, i'm yet to see him factor in on a breathtaking moment in games. Whether the outcome is good or bad.

Thoughts?

The quick shot setting definitely does something different than the regular setting. Ask mully

I think the D2 version of MJ has more than 25 LP.

And probably not 100 PER. This is more like the D2 version of Reggie Miller.

Haha. Exaggerating. I was talking more about the ball hog mentality.

and TJ what are you referring to with mully and the quick shot?

Decent Reggie Miller comparison. But he's somewhere in between a Jordan and a Reggie Miller. His ATH and SPD is better than Reggie. I can't think of an accurate comparison at the moment. I'll think of someone

I think Ray Allen in his prime is a fair comparison. Not that this matters to the end game factors of HD. Because my player doesn't get clutch shot attempts.

Mully frequent complains that to many late game 3 point shots are made against +5 defenses. He’s probably right on some level.

LOL I actually posted here this afternoon but for some reason it did not submit.

It was something like
"wow......last second 3 pters against ANY defense.....nothing new to see here... I also heard Michael Jackson dedicated this game to his late father"
