Attention Rookie Owners

We noticed this is your first experience playing SimLeague Basketball, so we'd like to make you aware of some critical pieces of the game:

* Pace Adjustments: A player's involvement & performance can translate successfully across multiple offenses. For example, Tim Duncan sees the highest percentage of shots taken within a slow-down offense. If you put him in a fast-pace offense, he'll see an increase in shots attempted to maintain his dominant presence in an offense. On the other hand, it's important to represent all the elements of a team. You need players to handle the ball, eat up possession time, rebound and take shots.
* Component Stats: Points scored and rebounds are often considered the most important stats in basketball. But it's the component stats that generate these numbers. And that's how the engine sees it, too. The % of shots taken relative to a player's team drives the total points scored for a player. Likewise, the ratio of rebounds per opportunity leads to rebounds. As a player's team around him changes or as a player's defensive/offensive scheme changes, his counting stats will be impacted.
* Sample Size: An exhibition season is only 10 games long. Ten games is a very small sample size, so what you see here may not be indicative of what you'd see over the course of an 82 game season. The 1993-04 David Robinson may only be averaging 18 points per game after 10 games, but he should get closer to 30 PPG over an entire season. Keep this in mind when you see some players struggle or some players excel.

not in real life

in real life people figure a 7 game series is enough to decide which is really the better team - (7 games is a big enough sample size in real life but as we all know and they now admit the engine is subject to more severe and more frequent outlier behavior than occurs in real life when in fact it should be much less so)

WIS once again so tone deaf and stupid blind to their own shortcomings they trumpet them as assets

We're also talking about tweaking position effectiveness to make it slightly less restrictive in general rather than manually editing certain players.
