For those who claim about the fact that PF/C in the nwe GE have to defend so many 3 point attempts I´ll give you a trick: set your best perimeter defenders in those positions and you´ll get the answer to your problems.:P

Next trick "how to defend 3 point attempts and don´t lose rebounds" in the next chapter of "making BB a funny game" :P.

My match was "normal" but I´ve seen other matches and.....I was really shocked!

BB-developers, please, revise the new enviroment and think about if this way is the correct way. We had a stable GE, we have nothing serious right now. I undestand that all the changes were implemented to improve a good thing to make it better, but sometimes the result can be other. If I were you I´d come back to the old GE, I´d test things you consider that can be improved on the GE, I´d improve other game aspects (graphics [forgotten years ago], supporter features, marketing,...), but take it easy!

Obviously, I´m not a BB-Boss (B3 :D), so do whatever you consider right, but I´m afraid of loads of managers get lost with the game, and leave our community.

Bye ;)

My team is destroyed, economic of my team too. Why i need good PF/C, why im training about 1 season? For what? Okey i have good SG and not bad PG, but when i saw my league results... What can i say... i played 4 seasons, and now i see that all goint to @#%$@%. Older GE was good enought, but new one.. its nonsence... rally... i thing that alot of players just leave. Anda what the chois now? Rebuil all team. Sell C/PF and buy uber PG/SG. I trained C/PF for selling, and now im in deep shet, becouse cost of these players are low.

Seems that with new GE to win away match is MUCH more harder....

this all situation reminds me HT when at the beginning it was very good game but later when changes came after the changes the game was not playable anymore...and thats why I quit it....and came to play BB but now it seem that BB's are going the same direction...making game also very complicated and not playable anymore....

For example why my PG in todays match took a lots of shots against opponents C and PF? all the time was like PG vs PG SG vs SG and so on.....

frankly said, i'm very dissapointed of this new game engine.The 70 rpg was irritating. Really missed the old one.

First of all thanks for the clarifications.

Second:

I suppose it's been too long since I've read von Clausewitz [surely somebody gets the reference, right?].

I would rather suggest reading Sun Tzu's Art of War:

"The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."

You ought to be reading Hirohide Ogawa.

So

Why the old engine must be changed? I loved it!

There's no reason for changes.

I wonder if it's possible come back to the old GE and at the same time run games with the new one to get a real feedback and analise what's wrong. I don't know if this consumes a lot of resources but...I think it's a good way to know the differences and check where the new GE is cracking. Sorry if this message is illegible,I'm posting from my mobile phone :)

3) One of the issues that has always existed in this engine is that the pace is too high; the typical NBA game has about 95 possessions, while in BuzzerBeater that number is often closer to 120. In the past, there have been too many possessions compared to an NBA game but also too much defense. We were trying to fix these things one step at a time in order to reduce the number of changes that come in all at the same time, and it's evident that the end result is that people are looking at the scores and saying their defense doesn't work anymore. I disagree; defense that concedes 101 points in 126 possessions, as I saw in the case of somebody who was complaining about the game engine, is actually quite good defense. It's just the 126 possessions that are fooling you.

the majority of users still uses fast paced attacks, who admittedly worked better in the old GE
maybe the increased quality of assisted shots has caused faster shots, increasing the number of possessions?
