new engine rollout Topic

So the new engine is in place in Smith, Allen, Tark and Phelan so far right? Am I missing any? Any problems from Tark or Phelan yet?

Its getting better. much better than day 2. It still needs improvement, but my 3 games that have counted in Allen have been ok, since the 5/27 update.

More fouls, fatigue, injuries, closer following your depthchart, distro, etc.

I think one of the main problems is that shooting percentage is way too high in all areas. After 5 games in Allen DII, The Top 25 shooting teams are all shooting better than 51%, the top 25 3pt shooting teams are all above 45% (and 11 are above 50%) and the top 25 free throw shooting teams are all hitting above 77%.

For comparison, in Wooden under the old engine, there are only 4 teams with a FG% above 51% and for free throws only 2 teams are above 74%.

It makes for high scoring and I've had some exciting games, but there are too many shots going in.

But, one needs to compare to real life and not to old engine ... the old engine was broken .

In real life. the best 3 point shooting teams have:

1 1 42.9 Cornell Ivy League 34
2 1 41.7 Brigham Young Mountain West 36
3 1 41.4 Utah State WAC 35
4 1 41.3 Marquette Big East 34
5 1 40.7 Portland West Coast 32
6 2 40.6 Saint Mary's West Coast 34
7 1 40.4 Kansas Big 12 36
8 1 39.9 Lehigh Patriot 33
8 1 39.9 Montana Big Sky 32
10 1 39.8 Minnesota Big Ten 35

Now, I do think they might be high ... but you also need to take into account the competition for 3pt% and FG%. I have noticed that the numbers seem to be getting better and they have said on multiple tickets they are specifically monitoring 3pt% and FG%.

Okay, well in that case the new engine is WAY WAY off.
