Great work Koshi.
BTW, is there a way that you can manually assign your custom playbooks to CPU coaches?
This should get rid of that play where the CPU PF or C comes off the screen and curls around the pick.

I searched around but couldn't find an answer and this seems to be a good place to ask. Is it possible to see what hand a recruit shoots with? I know I could play the ABL games, but I didn't want to my first year because I didn't see much reason to.

You can assign them to either team (or both teams) before the game by pressing the options button at the team select screen, making sure you load the playbooks from the main menu first.
I don't think you can assign them to coaches, but the pregame method serves the same function.

I'm pretty sure there isn't, but you can edit your recruits shooting hand once they are on your team.
One of the first things I do on day one of a new season is edit my recruits, their appearance, and even sometimes their name.
Don't sleep on the ABL though. You can use player lock to play as the player you're looking at, and not even play the whole game but just enough to get a feel. Player Lock is a great feature, in case you haven't used it, and can be turned on from Options>Gameplay.

Okay, thanks. This was my first season so I hadn't already scouted anyone, but I plan on playing the ABL games next year. Thanks for suggesting the player lock, I'll try that out because there are a couple players specifically I'm really looking to get.

How do you get the computer to call plays for you? There isn't an option in the Coach Settings. Does it have to do with the custom playbooks?

If you don't call a play, the CPU will call one for you. You may have to wait a couple of seconds, but it will eventually call a play for you.
If you want the CPU to call plays for you it helps to play with the play diagrams ON and the play called display ON, so when the CPU calls a play the on floor diagram come up to show you where to go and the name of the play will also be shown.

A nice idea from tfin1212, for archiving your results in this game:
This is great. Does anyone have a list of the moves and analog controls for the 360 as well?

Anything you can do to have the AI force more turnovers. Even on MOP with sliders maxed in favor of the AI defense, speed, Def Awareness, steal, steal succes, and human ball handling turned down to 30, they still only force a few turnovers per game.

There are no travels, no errant passes and few offensive fouls which always lead to lower turnover totals. I don't think anyone has been able to get realistic turnover numbers, I know you've tried harder than anyone fist.
It's a gripe that's come to bother me quite a bit in this game, on-ball defensive pressure means nothing. You can't get in a guys face and force a bad pass that goes out of bounds.
I'm still waiting for a basketball game to properly incorporate travels, they never happen unless it's user error.
