PLAYER TENDENCIES
All stats are taken from:
http://www.draftexpress.com/stats.php?tid=1
We use PER 40 Min stats as they give a better representation of how a player performs than their per game averages.
1. Fouls: PFs Per 40 Mins
2. Drive: FT's Per 40 Mins for Perimeter Players/ FT's Per 40 Mins Divided by 2 for Bigs
3. 3PT: 3PA Per 40 Mins
4. Mid Range and Close: Might get somewhat hard to understand here. There is a listing for 2PA per 40 mins on Draft Express. I take THAT number PLUS 1 and I distribute those points amongst close and mid.
Firs you have to look at the numbers in close and mid tendency as shots per 40 mins. But remember you have to move the decimal spot to the left one place since they use whole numbers on 2K.
Example:
10 close tendency = 1 close shot per 40 mins
50 mid range tendency = 5 mid range shots per 40 mins
So that person will attempt "6" 2 point shots per 40 mins
For example: Ty Lawson -
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...son-485/stats/
He attempts "9" 2 pointers per 40 mins. So I know I have to give him "10" 2 point shots.
I know he is a little guy so his close shot tendency should be low and he gets most of his scoring when he drives to the basket. SO I won't give him (or any little player) a high close tendency.
10 2PA Per 40 Mins
15 Close Tendency
85 Mid Range Tendency
Remember what I said before about moving the decimal to the left once, that would give Ty Lawson 8.5 + 1.5 ( 10 ) 2 point shots per 40 mins.
I know this sounds confusing but it translates perfectly into the game.
