Game Play concerns #24

First of all, everyone was defended and never open. I also noticed players were often defended by themselves and sometimes the ball would be stolen -- but always by a teammate! Many events did not make basketball sense. The special keys for various options did not function. Basically you could do nothing. At halftime I had not taken a single shot as coach of UNLV

My initial notes / response: 1) I haven't noted anything out-of-the-ordinary with players being open or covered in watching PBP 2) The steal by a teammate was reported before, but will be evaluated 3) Special keys - I am inquiring if this is for the coaching options during game (ie, Change Strategy, Change Zone) 4) Taking shots as coach - I am inquiring what coaching option was chosen for the user

Latest correspondence from user after getting more info:

A couple issues ... when coming off a timeout or choosing to change strategy, I am NOT prompted for the OFFENSIVE strategy, only the DEFENSIVE options are shown. Also, I must have hit the wrong key on a substitution and it allowed KING to be in 2 positions (see second screen shot) at one point. I tried (B) Boxscore option a few times during the game and it did not respond, not even once (although I did see it work at least once during my 77 game).

In addition to this, regarding the things mentioned the first time: 1) the issues with coverage may also tie into what appeared, from screenshots, to be data not correctly loading for specific teams 2) the steal by a teammate was because defense was not being assigned after a jump ball. this is fixed. 3) this appears related to the above mention of trying to press the "B" for Boxscore 4) No updates on this but I suspect indeed the wrong coaching option was chosen.

Indeed somehow code from CHANGESTRATEGY routine got chopped. It starts only with accepting a key from the user, but not presenting anything visually! Immediately after it evaluates the choices for offense, before presenting the defense menu. Restored code from previous versions. This must have been a hayday with my mouse / keyboard.

Final issue to address here is comparing handling of when PBP allows keypresses to be smoother.

As time allows I will evaluate the teams used in user screenshots where there was a concern about coverage missing / incorrect data.

Initial eval of PBP handling is that it's on par with other games. It seems very easy to bring options up, but it's easiest when you're in control. There is a shorter window of time available during PBP
