What is your favorite way of building a team? and B. Is it effective in the sim engine here? C. If not, what is your favorite way here to build a team?

I don't know what direction I want to go yet.

If i were in your shoes as a new team in the US:

1) Spend 2 points on the draft per week.
2) Stay at or under the floor until you get to 9000 seats.
3) Eye up cheap 18 year old 7 potential players for guys that you can spam in one v one forwards, as it improves the players the fastest. Then slam them into that all season long with a level 4 trainer.
4) If you dislike look inside, sell the now 19 year olds who should have gained 13-14 pops in the last 11 weeks of training one v one, and reinvest into 8 potential players, and retrain one v one for most of the season next season.

In the current market, the new owners are at a severe disadvantage in that they now have to gain 4-5mil to properly put together a long term run. So you have to run through several draftees and trainees until you have the proper funding. If you are new, i propose you stick to push the ball or look inside as your core strategy early. It's the quickest and easiest build to get. Other teams have done well with other strategies, it's just about finding what the engine likes in those players. There are some that are better than others, but things are rarely all equal outside of strategy.

My mindset is that if you have to change how you play to beat someone, then you're not the best team in the league. I would not expect to build a proper set of trainees up until season 37 or 38 if i were you.

I believe you may have misinterpreted the question.

I meant, along the lines of, do people prefer PGs like Steph Curry, or Like Jason Kidd.

Do people believe in a defensive SF like Battier or one that can Score like LeBron, or one that does it all like Pippen.

You know like, how you like to actually build your team.

not particularly misinterpreting it, just explaining what you have to do to generate cash before your question particularly matters in the grand scheme of things.

When it comes to building your team, it's not really about the type of team you build as much as it is where you spend your money. A quick glance at the top end division two teams and the NBBA teams that are attempting to compete right now suggests that inside strategies are still the go to. I do believe that a neutral offense has the opportunity to create competition up there though. The reason this build remains popular is the training speed of the build, which accelerates the players with MVP+ potential into the 130+ TSP range easier than the other builds. The balancing of the game would be greater if the one v one was reduced a little in it's speed, or more likely if the increase in other areas was slightly greater (talking .02-.04 increases on a few different training areas).

The answer you are looking for in a lot of ways does not exist, but in terms of PG's you can survive with a driving guard with two-three extra PA pops (so 15-16 instead of 12-13), or you can have a traditional PG with perhaps a little bit of shooting. I also would be more likely to build bigs into 10 PA and SG/SF into 12 PA when possible in such a build. If you are spending the 18-19 OD into a guard and then want to make jumpers, i would think that you might end with 18 JS 14 JR 19 OD, and thats double the inside guard, so you would have to make due with less at another position. Go play around with one of the several tools available and see how much salary you can fit into a build, then go ask a division 1 and division 2 team about what salary you can expect to afford, and begin go to scheme how you might be able to accomplish such a build later.

Yeah the answer I was looking for was to a question not really buzzer beater related. A fun question!

So, if you didn't misunderstand it. Why answer with your own topic that I didn't ask about? You're either weird or pushy.

Not really looking for numbers and all that people.

Asking a question here that's meant to be fun.
What kind of teams do you prefer to build?

I'll give my example then
I like a point guard that plays defense and runs the offense, can hit shots if needed or create quick baskets driving. But has more of a pass first mentality.

I like scoring guards and small forwards that play an outside in game from the wings and draw a lot of contact.

And I like big rim protectors that take up a lot of space inside

I like a team which is build around three main scorers. One of which is the PG who has high driving and IS, but can still pass, maybe a Rose type of player, then a defensive Tony Allen like Guard to play with him. SF and PF are the main Scoring options with high Shooting, Range and Driving. defensivly the SF can defend outside, whereas the PF can block shots. The Center would be a defensive beast who can score of putbanks and easy dunks.

in NBA terms maybe like this.

Rose
T.Allen
Paul George
Pau Gasol
A. Drummond

Hey i would like to make a team such as this : pg - someone that could be my second scoring option. Shoot 3, medium and inside shots. Could make him self shoting opportunities and create for other. Sg - could shot 3 if he is open, but mainly a best defensive player in the team. Sf - strong, main scoring option , basicly from the inside and medium shots, also good passer as rebounder. Pf - guy who can make strong deffensive duet with my C, good rebounder and shooter from middle and inside. C - mainly a rebounder and defensive guy, who can defend under the basket.


If we talked about NBA :
Pg - C.Paul
Sg - Mix of Korver and T.Allen
Sf - L.James
Pf - B.Griffin/Aldrige
C- Deandre Jordon/Tyson Chandler.

So is it possible for this team to win in BB engine? Cuz as it mentioned in rules, pg is mostly a passer but not a scorer.? If it is , which skill shout i aim at for these positions?

A question for fun? But BB is serious business, not a game like... oh. )

Usually, I want to find something that people believe can't be successful, but sounds like it might be fun, and then build around that as effectively as possible and see how far I can push it while still attempting to manage it like a real basketball team as much as possible (no daytrading, focusing on developing as many of the players through training as possible, trying to keep a core and then adding pieces around it as I move up (or down), etc).

Thankfully, right now and for pretty much most of the time I've been here, the inside offense has been far and away the most popular template for team building, which means that finding something *not* popular has been pretty easy. Even with a Utopia team now, I can try two different concepts, and then in about nine seasons or so I'll be able to evaluate just how well or poorly I've done. But I'm definitely enjoying it, and really that's what matters in the end.
