I simply cannot agree with the premise that tactical imbalance is a game engine problem.


You think it makes sense that playing a LI causes your backcourt outside shooters to perform worse? Sounds like the opposite of reality to me.


When you have guys who have maybe 2/3 the JR as the OD on the man guarding them, who are only shooting from outside when they're forced to rather than taking open shots, it's no surprise that they're bricktastic. But I suppose upping that would go a long way in solving the problem of that whole underpowered LI offense that everyone's on about. ;)

Let me be the first to complain about something positive to me.

I relegated to Div V,won my first league away game (TV game),and in my first home game I got a full attendance.

Yes,my prices were really low,but still,it seems too much.

The last time I was relegated was a long time ago (different team) and I remember going undefeated for a while and still not filling up the stadium.Today I made exactly the same I was making in Div IV.


Edit:10k more actually.

Mods, you're just going to let him get away with jokes? What is this the wild wild BB USA west. At least give him a yellow card or some kind of demerit.

How exactly am I to maintain the passionate and angry side of debate in this type of environment!?

they can run 50,000 games of every tactic match up with every player having every skill at 15. They know whether the GE works. They also know if the salary formula doesn't once players started looking for the metagaming opportunites within wage-effiiciency and what we know about free skillz became what we know.

What we are getting told, I think, is that the salary formula is now roughly in line with how the GE actually works.

I also think this is bunkum, kind of. Because of the real situation of mammoth OD + mammoth enthusiasm rendering players like a 20JS/15JR combo guard unable to shoot more than a whopping 18% from 3pt distance over a season of non-LI offence (my own experience). Hopefully, the other counter measures go some way to addressing this.

A faith based argument about buzzerbeater sounds great. *runs*

" BB was never designed for each team to be able to run every tactic with maximum efficiency at every moment in time."

Exactly why people are complaining about the prediction feature. Isn't it logical that given the limited resources a team has in trying to form a team they will run an offense best suited to their players skill? Why would you run an offense that you know won't be effective at all?

This is the critical part. I didn't see anything in the changes that will make outside shooting get better. The tactic should not affect the percentage, just the number of shots taken and my guards manage anything from 1/11 to 3/30 from 3pt land.
