Biggest salary in SG position... SG.

Dude, don't make assumptions when u clearly dont know what you are talking about. I read all the comments carefully and thoroughly. It is a pity to share false and inaccurate information to other managers. So please next time you post something, make sure to doublecheck it is accurate.


You changed and modified your initial statement like 3 times. First you talk about salary and then u talk about skills that increase SG salary. Be more specific. passing increases sg salary, driving and handling also. But they are not crucial skills to a patient offense.

I didin't modify, I explained.

You don't believe me, fine. And it is accurate.

whatever makes you happy

They had different defenders.
Patient is looking for the biggest mismatch. One game it was for your player A, another game it was for your player B.
Also if you have a relatively equal squad, then patient will not bring this "magic" distribution in terms of shots, it will be more spread out.

If you need some sort of guide lines for reverse patient:
- unbalanced squad set up works best (so you have one really good shooter and the rest of the team is just average)
- you assign your best shooter to C which "potentially" will cause the biggest mismatch (usually C has less OD and so your JS + JR + DR combo can shine)

Dumb question: I still do not understand why it's better to use patient and not other offensive tactic. What happens with other tactics? Yesterday I used it with motion (I forgot to set the tactic on patient) and it worked not too bad. What I'm missing? Why Patient is the best choice?
Thanks

There is no "one size fits all" offense which is the best to use in every situation (although iirc apparently according to the BBs in the olden days, base offense is supposed to be the best).

Just that in some situations, patient works better. Especially when you have one player with much higher JS/JR than whole team. It also gives you a fighting chance against a team who is way more superior than yours (tho you gotta hope that you catch em with the OD mismatch and they don't have 2 post players with high OD).

Thank you ☺️

This topic talks about the "patient" tactic and one of its "version" when you set your best shooter to "a position" where the "potential mismatch between attacker and defender" is the biggest".
As a few of us already explained a few times, to "intentionally" make the biggest mismatch is to add a "Steph Curry type of player" against a "Shaquille Oneal type of player" in other words assign your best shooter at C position.
In other words you are telling the game engine that use my player at C.
If you do not set this version "reverse patient" the game engine will find the mismatch and it could be anywhere where the defensive skills and offensive skills have the biggest deficit.

The patient tactic works in a way that to trying to find "the mismatch" on the court. As explained earlier it could be a total dominance and one player will take the majority of the possessions against his much weaker opponent or could be more spread out if you have two or multiple good shooter and "there is no one obvious mismatch on the court"

Other tactics have their own advantages.
Patient works in this way.

Hope it helps,

Absolutely, I understand much better, I really thank you very much !
