I think there was never an improvement in the Play by Play and I started playing in Season 13.

So, maybe its time to make improvement of it. I am very sure that even a small improvement will give a great joy to the players.

My suggestions: (Those are not inter related suggestions)

1. The play by play should tell us if the TACTICS CHANGES.
Ex. The New Platoon turns to Run and Gun.
- this will give another dimension to the game. Surely, many managers will begun to study it and new discoveries will happen. And, it will give the managers more knowledge about whats happening in the game.

2. The play by play should tell us the passing pattern.
Ex. PG - SG - PG - SF - C then the usual play by play when the center took the shot.
-- this will give another dimension to the game. Surely, many managers will begun to study it and new discoveries will happen. And, it will give the managers more knowledge about whats happening in the game.

3. The play by play should tell us the defender of the shooter each time. There are times that when the shooter, was already wide open, they dont mention the name of the defender. I hope they still mention it.

4. Animation - I know this is so hard to do but maybe there is still a chance that you will turn from text to animation.

thats all, please reply!

Yep good suggestions here in general.

I think personally, they could make a very simple change to the play-by-play by simply adding another set of commentary for each line.
"puts up a jumper from the baseline" - could also have "pulls up on his defender for a baseline Jump Shot"

"ends the possession with a defensive rebound" could also have "hunts down the defensive board"

etc etc

Just basically doubling th enumber of commentary would make it a little bit nicer and probably wouldn't take a lot of effort.

Just listen to an NBA game for some commentary idea's really!

as long as they improve it, its okay with me.

1. I didn't know the tactics ever change.
2. This would be very cool. I often wonder how the ball moved around on the offensive end to get to the player who takes the shot. So many times there's a player with a very minimal stat line, but who knows, he could have started the whole offensive set.
3. Yes. This would also be good. Like when someone is open, they could say, "Player A caught Player B sleeping, takes a wide open mid-range jumper."
4. This would be awesome, but as you say, would be quite difficult to implement.

Let us hope hat the BB gods are watching..

Any GM out there who could gave us any comment about this?

1. Isn't it the coach adjust during the game?

Then can you explain how the coach adjust during the game?
