Long Ranger
AI styleStill being reviewed
In one sentence
The CPU shoots from distance more than any shooting skill makes it.
Who does this affect?
Decision checks: these sit in the code that chooses dribbles, passes and shots for him (the code that builds the CPU's own player profile and option lists). It changes no stat. Found on: 10450 cards in the card list; mostly CMF, CF, AMF, DMF, LWF.
How it works
Long Ranger gives the highest long-shot weight in the CPU's shot choice (60; Long-range Shooting 50, Knuckle, Dipping or Rising Shot 40) and +0.30 to his long-shot value. It also lets the CPU shoot from awkward angles like the three shot skills do.
When it applies
- Long-shot weight: 60 with Long Ranger, else 50 with Long-range Shooting, else 40 with Knuckle, Dipping or Rising Shot, else 0 (only the highest counts); +40 or +70 in some situations.
- Long-shot value: 0.3 (Long Ranger) + 0.2 (Long-range Shooting) + up to 0.5 from Kicking Power (70→85), halved for Mazing Run and again for Trickster players; the CPU only looks at a long shot when this value is above a CPU situation value.
- Awkward-angle shots: allowed with Long Ranger or Knuckle, Dipping or Rising Shot, up to an angle of 60° (Finishing + Kicking Power 140 or less) rising to 80° (180 or more).
Without it
Without Long Ranger or a shooting skill the long-shot weight is 0 and the value comes from Kicking Power alone.

Finishing + Kicking Power sets how strong
Sum 140→180 widens the awkward-angle limit from 60° to 80°.
