- Christmas update! - 18 December 2024
Hello, We're glad to release the first big update of the year. It contains numerous updates in the simulation algorithm. Our focus has been to improve how the players behave in the games (simulated and played) to reach a higher level of realism. You will for example note that Point Guards will shoot much less compared to the other players with the update. Your offensive leaders will receive more balls and take more shots!
