How did we change the way steals work?

Hello,

 

we have updated the the way the deflections work in the test engine. What will change in the game?

 

What have we changed?


BasketPulse deflectionsWe've reduced the number of deflections

In our game, the ball was deflected by a team an average of 14.8 times per game, in the NBA - 12.7 times. We've reduced the deflection rate and should now average around 12 deflections per game.

New events in the chronology

From now on, teams that lose a lot of possessions due to deflections will try to be more careful. This will lead to more caution and it will be more difficult for the team to create a good situation for a shot, but the chances of a turnover will be reduced.

In the course of this update, we will share various statistics related to the updates on our Facebook account. We invite you to follow us on Facebook for all the latest information about the game!

 

CHANGES MADE IN THE TEST ENGINE

1. Home team will have some home court advantage even with 0% atmosphere.
2. Deflections and steals adjustments:

  • One event instead of two displayed in play-by-play when deflection was done by kicking the ball;
  • Reduced the number of deflections;
  • Steal after deflection will be granted to the player who deflected the ball (not to the player who caught the ball);
  • New event: The team wants to avoid deflections and will try to be more careful this period
  • New event: The team wants to avoid steals from opponents and will try to be more careful this period

3. New limit included - how many more points one team can get from lucky shots (accurate/missed) compared to the opponent team. Using this limit we will avoid situations when one team gains big advantage due to luck.

PLANS FOR UPCOMING TEST ENGINE UPDATES

Reduce the amount of turnovers in the game. Even with the updates, teams will average about 16 turnovers per game (now 21). In the NBA, this indicator reaches - 12.4 per game (40 minutes), in the Euroleague - 12.7.

How long will it take until we use the ME that is currently in NL? Or what is stopping from doing it so because it seems like it is a big improvement unless I am missing something. -- 90 S 37 d.

fanling3 we work on small bug fixes and small fixes with 2on2. We will share more information when it's finished.
GBuckets We will start using the test engine in WL starting next season. We want to avoid unexpected changes in WL games therefore we finish the season with the engine that we start the season with.
