How every simulated player and team gets a name drawn from public name lists, why no name can be a real professional player's or team's, and how a borrowed football nickname was caught and redrawn.

How the 3-D replay's new space map tints the court by the team that would reach a ball first at each point, worked out from the same race the simulation runs for every real rebound, from each player's own speed.

How the 3-D replay gained a run-off floor, stands and a wall around the court, so a player's view past the baseline no longer ends in black, and how it now draws only when something changes and at a capped sharpness, so a paused game costs a phone almost nothing.

How the simulated ball handler decides from the defence they believe in, built from where they last kept track of each defender, and how the 3-D replay now draws that belief as a faint figure beside a defender who is no longer where the handler thinks.

How the simulated league's box score gained a steals column and the season page a steals leaderboard, each credited to the defender the game recorded taking the ball, and how the 3-D replay now names a steal, a strip, a charge or a made shot in a line under the score.

How the simulated league's shots now leave the hands at a time each player's own legs decide: a jump height from the push of their legs and their size, worn down over a game, and the rise to the top of that jump.

How the simulated league now plays a sixteen-team tournament every day, fifteen games tipping off through the day on Eastern time with the final at 9 pm, each one watchable live from its tip-off.

How the 3-D replay now moves the ball around the player carrying it, smoothly and away from every other body, so it is never drawn passing through a defender or a teammate.

How each simulated player got a height and a wingspan of their own, drawn from measured spreads, and how the 3-D replay now draws every body, and its hands on the ball, at that player's own size.
