Hey guys starting up a new teamin allenon the 14th. Its actually been 2 or 3 years since I played HoopsDynasty. I've read the updatesand realized things have changed. But I wanted to ask some users if the changes are really that dramatic or will old theory steer me in the correct course initially. 

I'm in the same boat, I haven't played in about 6 months. To my understanding, there's been a couple of changes since you last played. For instance:

1. The press isn't as effective (dominant) as it used to be. It can still be a very good defense, you just need to recruit better athletes with higher ath/spd/def/sta than before to be successful. Teams who don't have exceptional athletes usually struggle with fouls and fatigue

2. There's been changes in recruit generation that I'm not too sure about

3. There's been changes to how IQ affects the game that I'm not too sure about

Hopefully some current coaches can give you some more in-depth info

Also Sims seem to play a lot tougher than they used to.
