Hi all, hope you've been enjoying v0.1 of the game so far! This update includes various improvements, new features and bug fixes (detailed below). Key additions include better manual minute allocation and new settings to better control the auto allocation of minutes. I also made a few balance changes to shot-making variance and improved national ranking/tournament seeding logic.
New Features/Improvements
- Minutes are no longer automatically reallocated when removed from a player; they are instead banked.
- New auto-rotation settings, including preferred composition, forced starters, starter minutes preference, and bench size.
- The schedule game blocks now display team records for unplayed games.
- Clicking the CT/NT header at the top of a schedule game block will take you to the tournament bracket.
- School page schedules now show the ranking/seeds of opponents.
- New option to enable the right-click action to "undo" (navigation).
- Added a setting to stop multi-week sims when injuries occur.
- Player scoring ratings are now displayed on the offensive priority screen.
- CPU rotation logic now favors the best players slightly more.
- Added summary offense, defense and scoring ratings to the rotation panel.
- Players returning from injury now provide notifications.
Balance Tweaks:
- Adjusted shot-making logic to reduce variance and make results more consistent with player ratings.
- Tweaked National Ranking & Tournament Seeding Logic to place greater emphasis on high-quality wins, prior ranking, and team strength.
- Toned down draft declarations for players who aren't playing enough to warrant being drafted.
- Toned down training development some.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where #16 seeds were incorrectly given home-court advantage in conference tournaments.
- Fixed a bug that was causing conference tournament seeding to be based on the results of the second to last day's standings rather than the last.
- Adjusted recruiting class generation logic to better support custom databases (Work in progress).
- Fixed issue where week 1 training reports would occasionally generate multiple times.
- Season review awards now correctly show the team and year the player was on when they won, rather than their final year.
- Fixed an issue where player page heights occasionally did not scale correctly for players with many awards.
- Fixed minor visual bug with user highlight on the Coach of the Year award being too bright.
- Fixed Wichita team name typo in the default database.
- Fixed a bug causing teams to skip regular season games on rare occasions (might still be an issue haven't been able replicate this)
