i know at the asb bbmarin is going 2 try & fix up the li/m2m imbalance but i just wanted 2 add something 2 say a really really big change is needed cause right now it is pathetic

there r 16 teams in the abbl this season

do some of them play li/m2m

lol

in order of record
Whitebeard all m2m/li
Pancakes with Jam a...all m2m/li
Aussie Pride all m2m/li
Guanzheng Goldfish all m2m/li but 1 i threw 1 game & played patient
Koopasaurus all m2m/li

of the top 5 teams in the abbl there has been 1 game 4 the season that wasnt li/m2m

doesnt this seem bad that the strategy has totally gone from the game?

plz bbmarin when u make the change @ the asb dont make a tweak use a sledgehammer

I would have to agree. One of the main reasons why I joined this game in the first place was the different strategy options. How the engine works and how the salaries are added points to one strategy being efficient and being used.

It's like top 40 radio -- the same songs over and over. BB is just LI/man on autopliot for important games.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I agree too. That's why I am trying to develop a home grown team that can play any of the offenses... Will take awhile

I agree, I'm build a Motion team and guess which offense my 25k shooting guard scores better in? Yep, Look Inside, makes complete sense. I cannot wait for something to finally change.

Outside shooting needs improvement. Three-point shooting isn't as good as it needs to be to balance the effectiveness of outside and inside offense.

yes, there are a lot of teams playing li/m2m. but there are also teams which decide not to play it.

i took a lock at the top 4 of my league (28 games atm):

- one played 3 times li/m2m
- one played 0 times li/m2m
- one played once li/m2m
- one played twice li/m2m

the other games were li with a zone defense or motion/isolation/patient/princeton/low post as offense.

maybe my league is kind of weird, because we have a couple of teams which hate li and play other offensiv tactics. maybe that's also the reason why we fight until the last game for the playoffs or against relegation.

There's definitely a point beyond which it's nearly impossible to win without LI/M2M, for the most part. I'm just glad that I'm not at that level yet. Hopefully there's a fix out there that fixes the imbalance for high level play and doesn't tilt the pendulum too far the other way for lower division teams.

True. Need to put the game strategy aspect back into BB because right now it's:

1: Look Inside
2: Man to Man
3: Blank Lineup
4: Let Coach Decide
5: ???
6: WIN!

its a good point

95% of league games i set a lineup & strictly follow depth chart so i can get training done

but in pl games i run li/m2m/blank/lcd & the team kicks ass!
