New Update – Fouling Out, And Some Quality-Of-Life Improvements

This update isn’t heavy on the new features but adds a ton of quality-of-life changes. Plus, I have plans for the next update to be full of cool new stuff. More on that below.

This update includes:

NEW FEATURES

Player Fouling Out – This has been something I’ve deprioritized for a while, but it has finally been implemented now. After accruing six fouls, a player will be automatically subbed out for any eligible replacement.

QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES

Overhauled the substitution logic, because I was tired of seeing players like Andrew Wiggins sub in as PG. Players now have a tighter restriction on the possible positions they can possibly sub into.

Added player minutes to the stats table in the league mode.

Improved offline playability (if you aren’t online, the page doesn’t try to fetch games/leagues started).

Fixed an issue in league mode in which playing in away games gave you control of the other team.

WHAT’S NEXT

I’ve got a lot planned for League Mode. This mode should make you feel like a coach, and give the player several ways to customize how your team plays on a nightly basis. The next iteration will involve things like:

Allowing you to customize your rotation between games, swapping players in and out of the lineup.
Add or remove certain plays from the playbook.
Assign special roles to players (Initiator, Off-Ball Shooter, First Option, Point of Attack Defender, etc). This one especially could be a ton of fun for aspiring coaches.

These features have the potential to add more dimensions to the League Mode, and provide endless hours of enjoyment. That’s the hope.

As always, thanks so much for playing!
