Is this a correct understanding?

The new GE has a higher percentage of shots coming from assists than before, compared to those coming from individual driving (e.g. isolation). This lead to a bigger impact of passing (for obvious reasons of efficiency and turnovers), and maybe a lower impact for DR/JS?

I'm in agreement with your read until the "and maybe" bit. This is how I would reason about the other consequences of the change:

- JS still affects the assisted shots, so I wouldn't say that its impact is reduced. If anything, it might even be increased.
- DR is affected because we should expect fewer drives (within most offense types).

The other skill that it seems to me should be affected is OD. In the GE, OD has two roles:
(1) force more shots to be defended
and
(2) when a *jump* shot is defended, it is the defensive skill involved in reducing its percentage

Role 1 remains unchanged, role 2 is reduced for the simple reason that fewer shots are defended.

(In the match-viewer, assisted shots show up as undefended, which makes it natural to suppose that they do not involve a OD check in the GE)

Amen!

Glad someone mentioned it at last. I do believe this is the main reason behind the change.

I considered keeping it for myself and for those who can reason to the same conclusion.

Why is it that whenever I read an answer from you or your other french friend you are always complaining about something

If saying that each significative change should be carefully thought about and that we should be warned in advance given this is a slow and long term game, if saying this is complaining, then yes I love to complain.

Edit : I see your team is less than a month old. You must have read a lot about us to make up your opinion... (:
And by the way, my past jobs included a lot of change management, so I know quite a few things about the subject.

Honestly I didn't think about how long will Justin stay, so I totally get your point saying we must take benefit of his presence to make these changes fast.
But to me this passing subject, as other subjects, could be dealt with a salary formula update first. It makes no sense that centers can get 20+ Pa with no impact on their salary while guards hardly can get more than 14 Pa. And there should be a preliminary notice so that we can adapt cause, yes, training players and building teams take time. A lot of time. And the slightest changes can get your team from a title contender to not much anymore.

This game is slow, yes, but as many other strategic games. It doesn't mean it is out of date but I understand you try to find ways to get and retain more players. I thought the app would help, as well as Justin's huge work, but maybe it just helped reducing the user loss so far ?

There are strategic games that have different servors with different speeds. Maybe that is something that could help BB get more users/revenues without losing the actual ones ?
