Hook Specialist

To test Hook Specialist we ran separate 3 tests:

Test #1: Green Window Size Increase (7'-9') Tested with 92 Close Shot + 90 Post Control on HoF Difficulty

• We tested each badge level at 92 Close and 90 Post Control.
• We attempted Hook Shots from 7' to 9' out.
  • The shots were wide open.

Test #2: Green Window Size Increase (10'-12') Tested with 92 Close Shot + 90 Post Control on HoF Difficulty

• We tested each badge level at 92 Close and 90 Post Control.
• We attempted Hook Shots from 10' to 12' out.
  • The shots were wide open.

Test #3: Green Window Size Increase (10'-12') Tested with 90 Post Control on HoF Difficulty

• We looked exclusively at different close shot attribute levels, each with Legend Hook Specialist equipped.

Test #1: Green Window Size Increase (7'-9') Tested with 92 Close Shot + 90 Post Control on HoF Difficulty

• Legend = 139ms
• HoF = 119ms
• Gold = 109ms
• Silver = 99ms
• Bronze = 89ms
• None = 59ms

The green window sizes are large because the shots are from inside 10 ft. Bronze sees an increased green window size of nearly 51% compared to no badge, and then Silver at 68%, gold at 85%, HoF more than doubles the green window size, and then Legend sees a 136% increase.

Test #2: Green Window Size Increase (10'-12') Tested with 92 Close Shot + 90 Post Control on HoF Difficulty

• Legend = 69ms
• HoF = 64ms
• Gold = 61ms
• Silver = 58ms
• Bronze = 54ms
• None = 49ms

By moving a few feet further back the shots become tougher and the boost is much smaller. However, the boost is still fairly linear. Bronze sees a 10% increase in green window size when compared to no badge. Silver at 18%, Gold increases by 25%, HoF by 31%, and Legend sees a 41% increased green window size.

Test #3: Green Window Size Increase (10'-12') Tested with 90 Post Control on HoF Difficulty

• 99 Close Shot = 74ms
• 92 Close Shot = 69ms
• 86 Close Shot = 57ms
• 78 Close Shot = 39ms
• 70 Close Shot = 19ms

This gives us a better idea of the effectiveness of each attribute rating. Each rating shows a linear boost up until Legend where the green window size doesn't see a considerable increase.
