I know I quit and people think I lied when I say my friends also play, but I will only come back to help him reach immortal and then delete the app

My friends literally feel the same way I do and we all teamed up before

Players on the MLBB subreddit and here project heavily, but how is it everyone is saying the same thing but then "You're just mad you're losing"

I kid you not before this game I've never experienced this and my friends never complained this much about a game

I have a choice and many of you always posting how you're done

No, quit

I'm quitting. I'm not fooling myself anymore. This game is unhealthy and a waste of your life.

Prove it 👁️👄👁️

Koality when designing Hoop Land never based it around Shot Timing. Koality added shot timing because people asked for it, but the game was based around player percentage (%) because Koality wanted to encourage smart shot selection and strategic play.

If you play with Shot Timing you literally can shoot 3's with Centers who have a low 3 point rating. There is no thought to it. If you're playing on the easiest difficulty and you're new to get familiar with the game that's perfectly fine. Just don't complain the game is easy playing on the easiest difficulty like that's how it was designed to be. Imagine complaining the easy mode is easy like bro? That's the point?

It's also very problematic because if you're telling Koality the game is too easy they're probably assuming you're playing on All Star or something. Imagine saying shooting is too easy and Koality makes shooting impossible because a guy who played on custom sliders made shooting easy.

I personally think a 10 in anything is supposed to be excellent in this game, but people are asking for the highest ratings to be nerfed. That makes no sense in game design. Max Attributes = Legendary that's why it's so powerful.

What the game needs is a Defensive Equivalent. A perimeter defender that reduces the effectiveness of the scorer and can address the offensive moves that seem unstoppable. Not exactly counter because they should be meant to counter each other or interact with each other in a way. To deal with a Defensive Superstar you need an offensive superstar and vice versa. For example, a perimeter defensive superstar wouldn't be effective against a dominant Big Man who is unstoppable in the paint, but is more effective against a Guard who likes to dribble, crossover and shoot. Also, we should introduce some balance to it.

We can use Guards-Forwards-Center as a starting point and add variation and depth using height, weight, which also correlates with speed and strength.

It doesn't have to be a 1:1 as we may have stocky (big but short) guards while we may have undersized Centers who are more quick. The listed position should provide an effectiveness mechanic/synergy. Ok, here is what I mean by that.

An undersized center is more effective at playing Center than they would be playing PF. Now, the game SHOULD allow you to play Center at PF despite the listed position, BUT the player should be less effective playing out of position. This DOESN'T mean the player will be bad or play poorly, but that their effectiveness is affected by playing out of position. The game should allow the player to change a player's position through some sort of camp or process.

Now, adding to this let's say a Forward which are in between Guards and Centers should have effectiveness guarding Forwards but don't lose effectiveness guarding Guards nor lose effectiveness guarding Centers. This isn't me saying they have a boost in guarding Guards and Centers but more that there isn't a debuff. Now, we have to address Power Forward, Small Forward, FC and G/F and that's why I won't say this idea is all the way thought out as this is me brainstorming. If Koality likes the idea but adds his spin on it and makes some changes that would fit better than I would support it.

An undersized Center trades height meaning lowering their chance of blocking for more speed or something (if they're correlated). You want this nuance in the game it makes everything interesting, adds depth and introduces nuance. Players can't run 5 guard line ups for no reason because match ups would start to matter more as well.

This is me trying to provide nuance, depth and balance, so players wouldn't just create a Center who could guard the perimeter.

The game needs Perimeter Defensive Superstars. Not only does this need to be implemented in some way, but the Ai needs more depth. Coaches as a features provides the foundation for this as they already have tendencies but to go further coaches should have preferences or tendencies to prefer a certain type of player at certain positions. For example, maybe the coach wants their PG to be a ball handler preferring dribbling and passing over defense and scoring or even slashing. Maybe have 3 attribute preferences. Each coach having their own preference or maybe they prefer a player to be more all around. Maybe they want a player to be atleast a certain height and weight or be atleast pretty fast or strong. Now, these preferences aren't the end all be all but should influence line ups. Ofcourse this can be overridden by a player who is a superstar so they just start that player. Also, the coaches maybe could account for player morale/value aswell.

Their utilization of the bench to what they expect from their bench. Also, their tendency to put certain defensive assignment on certain players. For example, teams should sign defensive specialists for the sake of providing defense. This means the team subs in a F with the intention of putting a defensive assignment on the SG. This will genuinely surprise the player if implemented because they would have to adapt their way of playing to account for the shift in gameplan by the opponent.

I read that "Sharpshooters/Shot Creators are the META" simply due to the lack of Perimeter Defensive Equivalent. Implementing features to ensure this would provide a reasonable counter to that archetype and add value to defense without harming the value of offense. You want 10 Level 3 Point, Mid Range and Short Range shooting to be powerful considering they're the max/highest attribute. What sense does it make to make players work for that to nerf it?

A random idea is maybe increase the defensive/shot pressure range of the defensive superstar. Allow them to cover more space than the average player to emphasize how much better/effective they are at defense.

It has been a year since the last one, but now this time the challenge is to beat the Los Angeles Stars led by Polan Stronk in a Best of 4 series playing under All Star difficult. Meaning NO SHOT TIMING! This is strictly Player % and NO USING JSON! You are to win with the current iteration of the player.

Post your results and most importantly have fun.

My league for my player feels more challenging because of the players I added from role players to potential superstars, so you have to adapt

I don't play the same way every game and I even check the match up on both offense and defense. If my opponent is a elite defensive player or the opposing team is elite defensively I do not pass the ball as much because they will steal it. I also create space on lay ups or draw defenders away from me by using plays

I'm just saying is the game easy or do the players in your league suck

Or do you stack the odds in your favor like do you create players/teams legit have an advantage to easily win?

Is that the game being easy when ofcourse it should be with an OP Player/Team?
