If inside oriented guards are salary efficient, and outside ones arent (this is obvious) Then another though maybe bbs could tweak some guard skills too, which benefits for inside tactic. For example passing, Inside shooting. And conclusion to be made out of ur observations are IS is toocheap at high levels, so they need increase the IS impact on salary formula in addition too, or decrease Id, sb, and rb. Maybe you right, decrease id, sb, rb costs, cause highly skilled centers have already higher salaries than guards does.


The funny thing is i though differently than you did but at the end we all came to the same conclusions, wells if ur last post observations are somewhat true. This could only mean GE at high levels are just PATHETIC atm:D

My mistake i was thinking about terorizing oponents with outside/midrange shooting front line, which i am really happy atm, but i am in division 4:D and never though people could build OD centers, but looked at the TL, yep there are some which could stop my front line to like 35 percent which is nearly a collapse.

I'm assuming ID on guards isn't very effective against guards with IS? Since ID on guards is cheap too.

I understand, that's why I was wondering wether the effectiveness of ID vs OD on guards is known, because maybe 12 ID can stop 12 IS without the need of SB, then you can just counter IS with ID as both have about the same training speed (extra IS via 1v1/JS forwards, extra ID with OD training).

We need to remember SB on Bigs not only defend other Bigs. A Center with mid-high SB can affect (and stop) most guards lay ups. Specialy in 2-3 Zone were the C defend right under the Basket.

PS. Bigs can pop slowly JR training JS for SF/PF; at the same pace you can pop JS/IS training 1 vs 1 for SF/PF . OD and PA are the only skills that you can't train at C/ PF spot (1-2 positions).

I forgot that your theories and believes are the only ones with validation and everyone else (including BBs and theirs facts) are wrong.
Sorry my mistake.

Quote from BB patrick:

Well, I cannot say whether the change affects certain matchups more than others, but as we said in previous newsposts there are some areas on the pitch where shot blocking is the most usefull. In these areas shots are altered (or blocked) much more often than others and we increased the value of shot blocking in some of these areas.

Anyways, the effect of the Shot Blocking change shouldn't solely be measured in altered or blocked shots. It may very well be that overall the looks in inside tactics are much worse or that guards are forced to take more shots from the outside. This could all result in inside tactics being less effective, yet these are not clearly observed from boxscores.

If I understand correctly, this basically means centers with high shotblocking will be more willing to offer help at blocking shots from driving guards. Also guards should not drive as much against good shotblockers.
