New Update: League Mode v2. Be An NBA Coach

Happy holidays to all.

This update includes:

NEW FEATURES

• League Mode is now the NBA – after some time thinking about what I wanted League Mode to look like, I realized that the prior vision was too ambitious. At least, for the time being. Going from coaching in middle school to the NBA would be an amazing experience for a simulation mode, but I still need to continue working on the core game logic. Also, having a roster full of 12 year old scrubs was not that exciting after a while, haha. I decided that you should be able to create a coach for your favorite team, We’ll see how that goes while I continue tuning. Feedback is welcome.

QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES

• Improved substitution logic to limit the possible positions someone can sub into.
• Improved the spacing of several UI elements on mobile, due to certain screen resolutions blocking the box score/homepage/etc.
• Superstars are still too broken. Adjusted the default usage tendencies of all players tiers on a team to bring them closer in value. What this means is that other players should be taking more shots, and superstars should have the ball a bit less. Of course, you can change this with in-game adjustments.
• Increased the effect of shot attempts draining stamina, in efforts to curb the unstoppable nature of superstar scorers.
• Updated logic to limit turnovers from bad passes. Still looking for the sweet spot on this.
• Added additional stat displays for League Mode, including player + team stats.

WHAT’S NEXT

• Review league data to continue tuning game logic.
• Add more League Mode features to the current iteration.

As always, thanks so much for playing!
