1. What effect does endurance have on a player? How much worse does a Michael Jordan play at 25% endurance as opposed to 100%?
2. Potential question: in the historical roster, rookie Dirk Nowitzski and Kevin Garnett are rated at 3 to 3.5 star potential. Obviously, they turned into superstars albeit not right away. Can this happen or are these guys pretty much locked to becoming average players?
3. While I think the majority of the ratings are relatively accurate, there's a few that leave me scratching my head. Mostly defense ratings. Like Bruce Bowen and Scottie Pippen. Why are they not automatic 10's? I understand this is something I can correct myself in the editor, so it's not a big deal. Just odd.
4. Does double-teaming work in zone defense?
I watch/coach all my games, so I've noticed some odd things, a) 100% zone sometimes my players still play man to man, b) a player will sometimes warp off the screen onto the sidelines on the other side of the court, c) double-teaming sometimes turns back on when you turn it off d) running very slow paced, post focus offense has my centers shooting three-pointers seemingly at random (tends to happen more off an inbound pass).
Suggestions:
1) I'd like to see a lot more variety in the commentary. Olajuwon scoring with his sky hook or Magic Johnson doing a no look pass as he drives to the basket are just a few examples.
2) Would be cool if we got last names under/above the players on the court, rather than trying to distinguish them by jersey number alone. Scaling font size or limited characters may be needed to prevent the court filling up with names.
All in all, I'm having a blast playing the game and it looks really great on my 4K TV. Great job Gary!
