Hey everyone, got another content update for you. This one adds several highly requested quality-of-life improvements and a new preferences/settings panel with a wide range of sim sliders. Full list of changes below:
New Features & Improvements
- You can now see why a player is transferring and attempt to convince them to stay (odds of convincing a player are based on their transfer desire score).
- A number of new settings and sliders have been added, giving players more control over the game sim and league rules (more will be added as we approach full release, so make sure to suggest settings/sliders you’d like to be included!). Sliders added include: shot type tendencies and accuracy, foul rates, assist rate, block rate, turnover rate, steal rate, home court advantage intensity, FT accuracy, offensive rebound rate, offensive priority impact, player progression rate, injury frequency, and transfer likelihood.
- The bracket UI has been upgraded with several improvements. Gameblocks now feature a cleaner layout and display each team’s logo. Clicking on a bracket block of a played game will now take you to the game log for that matchup. Additionally, your team is now highlighted in the CT/NT bracket view to make tracking your progress through the tournament easier.
- You can now filter player and team stats and coach/staff movements by conference.
- Added tracking for historical conference and national tournament brackets, accessible through the league history page. The individual game logs for these tournaments are not currently saved but that is probably something I’m going to allow the player to turn on in the future.
- Added plus-minus (+/-) stat to the school page player stats view.
- Added attribute-based sorting to the Roster and Redshirt Players pages. You can now sort players by year, position, height, weight, and all skill ratings for easier comparison.
Bug Fixes & Tweaks
- Fixed a bug where some characters in international surnames would display as blank.
- The Players Leaving panel is now sorted to show transfers first.
- Fixed a bug where user coach slider values (pace and focus) would occasionally reset when closing and reopening a save.
- Recruiting logic has been adjusted slightly to reduce the chance of top schools hoarding too many 5-star prospects.
I’m planning for the next few updates to focus on expanded scheduling logic, conference realignment, and the long-term team progression “ecosystem,” among other things. Thanks, as always, for all the support and feedback!
