I'm worried about GE game end logic here from coach side also: why there was no time out taken before the last attack?

I can do some fantasizing and come up with hundreds of interpretations to real life, but come on! these would be more like anecdotes. I don't think BBs wanted such illogical ending to happen with GE programming at clutch?


Kossuhunt,

I agree with the lack of timeouts, as i already exposed in portuguese forum. Your team's last shoot with 4 seconds ramaining... it's basketball, played by young players, and not an illogical situation. To find the best of the best shoots with exactly 0 seconds remaining would have been the best scenario for your team, but the most difficult one.

It would have been better not to shoot instead doing it 4 seconds before buzzer.
I'm discussing this because I would like to know if this was programming goal of BBs or it needs to be tweaked? BB's answer would be great.

Oh come on, Kossuhunt. You have the chance to win the game and you would prefer to waste that oportunity? If your player shoots with 4 seconds remaining is because he had a nice shoot oportunity. Anyway, I understand it's hard to loose like this. The odds, with 19 seconds remaining, were on your side.

Altough, i admit i can be wrong and I expect a BBs response too.

Check out the last second of OT for this game. A steal, a pass, then an alley-oop dunk for the win. All in 1 second.

I have never seen the opponent not foul immediately down with less than 20 left. And then steal it and win....

After this game,I have no words to explain how the actual Ge of the last minute are just ****

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/26314807/reportmatch.as...

28 seconds to the end,after a failed shot I take an offensive rebounds,and my guard,instead of use all the 24 second for the shots,try the lay-up after 2 second and miss the shot

Then,1 point advantage,26 second to the end,3 foul to spend,and not one used

And last but not least,with -1,and 20 second to play,my players didn't try to shot

you got an offensive rebound and went back up for the shot, nothing unusual about that.

Then,1 point advantage,26 second to the end,3 foul to spend,and not one used


there was 26 seconds left. If you'd started fouling, you would have given the other team the full 26 seconds and the last possession. Without fouls, they only had 24 seconds and you could have stopped their offense if you'd played good defense or, if they scored (like they did) you got the last possession and the chance to win the game.

And last but not least,with -1,and 20 second to play,my players didn't try to shot


they didn't shoot because you turned the ball over right at the end as you tried to get the ball inside (as was your tactic, Look Inside).




You can't blame the game engine just because you lost a close game. Of course you can analyse things afterwards and say your players should have done this or that but the things that happened certainly weren't ridiculous and real life players don't always do what seems to be the "right" thing every time either. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

You could be looking at why your teams offensive flow is so poor or other things like that but I doubt you'd be complaining about the game engine if you won the game anyway ;)
