this stocking up the money before playofs is still bad. I think if it gets pushed 2 weeks earlier more people would be involved with the game.

I think that 2 weeks earlier is not enough.
IMHO, the trading deadline should be placed at the end of the ASG or maybe should be placed after the last game with the team of the other conference.

I think with a deadline that early, you really take teams out of the race with injury. You could lose a starter with 7 games to go, which would hinder you not only talent-wise, but could possibly ruin your game shape as well. That could be the difference between a promotion run, and fighting off relegation.

I have to agree with the thoughts on not changing the trading deadline. I've been playing the game for quite a long time and can't really think of an instance where somebody has "stocked up" at the last minute to win a playoff series to advance. Usually the last minute purchase's are either overpriced with little impact, or big time purchases that somebody has been saving to make quite a while. Those big time purchases are by teams that are going to be a factor in the playoff's anywase. As the game in general is designed to be a marathon process of improving, the teams that do go and "buy" a title seldom are going to hold on after promoting, especially at the higher divisions - in my opinion. Likewise, the teams that build through time may promote, end up demoting and be ready to promote in a season or two.

This is my 2nd run at Div I
last time around my competition spent big at the deadline and I matched them
this time around nobody spent an extra cent in my division
really depends on the individuals
I bought my key addition a month ago but needed tp purchase a backup big man because of injury just prior to the playoffs

Agree 100%.

(If only BB didn't care more about transfer list prices than the actual season...)

how does the trainers salary affect his experience in training? higher salary means more experience or better trainer? or just time to replace?

I am willing to suffer a loss of some training if it means they will make a fun, realistic, interesting GE. We are all just sick of LI now.

The adjustment to shot blocking might affect LI, but i don't see how it makes the GE more realistic. As it is, LI is already goofy in the way it punishes guards that have good JS/JR. In real life you need some outside shooters in the backcourt to provide spacing. In BB, the lower the guards JS/JR the more effective they are.

BB managers have focused on building counterintuitive, specialized players for LI. Other tactics haven't had the focus of the community, though managers are starting to work on building the right pieces for outside offenses.

I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-15 seasons there will be much debate about motion and RNG being too powerful.
