And people are counter-debating that it cannot be classified as "too big" based on one week of data, but furthermore, just one game.

I have a game this season with 15 assists on 29 makes, and a game at this exact point last season with 15 assists on 28 makes. My team is relatively unchanged and both matchups were similar.

So, can I use these two games and say the changes are TOO SMALL?

Of course not. We need MORE data. I encourage us all to not to overreact. And asking for 6 months of notice for a game engine change... is not realistic, nor is it something that happens with any game, at any level.

Devs make changes, players are forced to adjust. Such is the natural cycle of life.

But yes there will be a bump in turnovers and steals.

That won't be universal though will it? Presumably more turnovers from bad players, fewer from good players.

Is it there a thread or extended info on the newly implemented GE? Aside of the succint piece of news.

It is my understanding DR is a skill you must have across the lineup if PA was an issue in your team. Has this changed? Is PA across the lineup a slower yet more effective scoring method for neutral-slow attack options?

Edit, I mean slower yet more effective to train than DR

I'm in agreement with your read until the "and maybe" bit. This is how I would reason about the other consequences of the change:

- JS still affects the assisted shots, so I wouldn't say that its impact is reduced. If anything, it might even be increased.
- DR is affected because we should expect fewer drives (within most offense types).

The other skill that it seems to me should be affected is OD. In the GE, OD has two roles:
(1) force more shots to be defended
and
(2) when a *jump* shot is defended, it is the defensive skill involved in reducing its percentage

Role 1 remains unchanged, role 2 is reduced for the simple reason that fewer shots are defended.

(In the match-viewer, assisted shots show up as undefended, which makes it natural to suppose that they do not involve a OD check in the GE)

Amen!

Glad someone mentioned it at last. I do believe this is the main reason behind the change.

I considered keeping it for myself and for those who can reason to the same conclusion.

Why is it that whenever I read an answer from you or your other french friend you are always complaining about something
