7. All 30 Coaches Have Unique Mindsets
One of the biggest new features is the inclusion of thirty unique mindsets for each coach in the league. This should tie in with the previous point, giving each team a more realistic feel and team identity, rather than simply living and dying on the stats of their players. Developers have specifically mentioned the 2015 Finals as an example, citing the changing strategies of both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors as their series progressed. Now, should you destroy a team in Game 1 of a playoff encounter, expect to see a new line-up or different strategy greet you in Game 2.
