DUNKING AND FINISHING

Posterizer

For this posterizer test we took 200 dunk attempts with a 6’6 pure slasher with max weight and wingspan against an equal height opponent with 75 shot contest and shot blocking and max weight and wingspan. The defender was positioned in the paint so that conditions were ideal for posters. Once we got the animation to trigger the dunk went in 100% of the time so we tracked the number of attempts that resulted in the poster animation vs the number of attempts that resulted in a contested layup attempt.

Weight on Finishing

For this test we wanted to see if raising your weight helped you finish through contact. We did used the attributes for a 6’6 pure slasher that did not have any badges. We kept the attributes (75 strength) the same for each test and we only changed the weight. Each drive was a wide open drive to the basket which lead to getting met in the paint by the opposing defender. The defender was the same height with 75 shot contest and default weight.

Weight	Dunk Success	Layup Success	Miss Percentage
175	33.5%	24.5%	42%
190	36%	24%	40%
205	38%	23.5%	38.5%
220	39%	22%	39%
235	40.5%	22.5%	37.5%
