If DMI had absolutely no point, why is it there?


even the game manual says DMI is a lot less meaningful than it first appears, so you shouldn't mislead newbies with such referrals.

I like to determine some players by game shape. If someone has bad game shape, I usually put them on the backups. It is how they did in practice, and will make them perform better on the court.

am I getting it wrong or you say game shape is about how players did in practice? if so you are wrong cause GS is about the minutes, not practice or training.

but, unrelated to the topic, as he mentioned, DMI does give information and gameshape does influence performance in a game a lot
a 15k proficient game shape player can play a better game than a 25k salary respectable game shape one
of course if one has 15k and the other 75k it doesn't make that much a difference

GS effects the performance, we all know that.But when someone says game shape is about how players did in practice I am not buying that.

it is not an indicator of how effective his training sessions were. Did u read that part shaq training isn't affected by game shape.

However, Game Shape is an indication of how sharp the player looked in practice and therefore how well he will be expected to play in a game; it is not an indicator of how effective his training sessions were.

I may be wrong, but I believe that this is another one of those situations where the BBs were trying to be cute in their description of the rules and not really a direct one-for-one representation of what the rules actually are. (If that makes any sense)

We don't really have practice in this game - there's the abstract concept of "training" which is connected to minutes played, but how well a players practices doesn't really have any meaning in this game.

I think this is a good example of where the manual is less useful than experience and common sense.

Even a stopped clock is wright twice a day. He is actually correct this time. What the BB's so cutely, as you put it, refer to as "practice" is actually what accounts for the random variable in game shape. It's not nearly as important as the minutes, but it does effect game shape.

no he's not right. BB's tried to describe GS in a realistic way, but that's not how we suppose to teach newbies about GS. But yeah it's Shaq. Knows nothing, answers everything and kills the forum.

form is temporary class is permanent

First week of the season, after the reset, everybody had the same exact game shape. I had two players play 70+ min that week. One about 5 min more than the other. The one with less minutes droped to average. The other one stayed on respactable inspite of having close to 80 min. Random factor at work :)
