welcome to the 2021-22 SIM season Haliburton and RJ

[Buzzard]

It was not a close game until the 4th. Sexton fouled out this time but Zion and Reddish played really well.

[Buzzard]

To close of a game for my liking how did Bledsoe get in the game I ain’t give him minutes lol

For me its always Sexton getting into foul trouble that screws my guard rotations up. The SIM has **** me over with his tendency to foul. He hardly ever gets in foul trouble in the NBA.

Being the one that has been using Wolverine studios since 2013, and introduced it to everyone and bish, I believe it comes down to 2 factors:

Injuries and garbage minutes. Garbage minutes, I believe, is when your team is up or down by 20+. I dont remember the exact number or formula, as I haven't used it as much since they switched to more of a web tablet browser like interface. But that was always it when I used it on PC years ago

There are other factors for fouling. It's not just Sexton, it's also the ability of the opposing player to draw fouls.

There's also what style of defense you play.

The intensity level that is set.

Even the coach you have factors into it.



But it's early in the season. As someone pointed our earlier, it usually evens out a but as the year winds down. Usually only a few outliers that make you scratch your head.


It's still leaps and bounds ahead of 2K

Sure it is...Sexton has fouled out of one game his entire career. That was his rookie season. I let the SIM set everything this time and he fouled out. I think he has collected five fouls in three other games. If you know anything at all about point guard play, his tendency to commit fouls is sticking out like a sore thumb.

[Strick]

If someone asked me how many games in the T-Wolves would be before their 2nd win, 5 games wouldn’t have been within my top 10 guesses I don’t think.



Obviously don’t want or expect many wins but can’t be mad when the young guns play well and they get a W

ahh okay I see thanks that’s pretty dope and realistic

yeah, it'll even out. i was a pass-first, defensive stopper PG for my HS team. it'll even out in the end.

you can probably ask bish to change some of the defensive settings for your team to be more passive. i bet it'll change it for you sexton

also switch the matchup vs teams.

If you are playing Lillard and you want to make sure sexton stays on the floor. Have him play 2 guard and guard Garrett Temple and he will stay out of foul trouble.

this is how in depth the game can get. i believe there's more i'm not touching upon

correct. that's what i meant by, it depends on who sexton is guarding and their "draw fouls" rating. like in the picture i just posted. gave sexton as the example

Jeff Green available.

I agree that the game will even out at the end. The better teams usually get to the Playoffs and win it all.

But it would be OD to ask Bish to dig into the details and tweak things for each individual team any further because it’s already a LOT imo.

Again, the better teams usually rise to the top. It’s waaaay too early to panic.

yeah you can send a team defensive strategy to bish but we can't be sending him individual matchup stuff during the regular season. To ask him to manage that would be crazy.

He allows allows matchups in the post season but to keep everyone on an even playing field the way its managed right now is as fair as its going to get.

One day we'll get an NBA sim like OOTP for baseball and we can run an online league were we can all update every aspect of our team on a nightly basis.

I am not going to ask Bish to tweak things for me. Running these games every night is enough.

[Phish Tank]

luka really on the block?

Regardless, solid start for my team. No clue who's tanking and who isn't, but I'll take every win possible.

[NewEra]

Damn so close to winning that one! My guys are balling out man. And to play that way against a great Portland team without the big dawg I'm impressed. Can't be mad at the effort.

edit- nvm I figured it out
