I think it's true but the best, it's to develop team, train and obtain good result but in high league, the problem is very hard to solve but the best is to make training, the man between 20 and 22 years or 19 for the cup but it's not be certain to win the heading.

I really understand where you come from. I was in the NEDERLAND top division and most of them are good teams.

Instead of looking at it negatively I saw it as a real challenge to see how one can survive through a season without being demoted and still go far in the cup and get good development of the trainees. It is fun to see some going for a cup and some dont;' when you study your opponents team settings you will find out some info and built your strategy on it. For me it is one of the excitement of BB management. If minutes played are not related to gameshape; than why not just have 5 good ones and just put 5 players on the game; every game. No one will limit you in that way. its kinda boring though..

I understood Torooo was happy to see B3 going back into arcade mode. No minutes management just plain the best 10 and bring back the win.

I like BB.

NBA do not need to consider the gameshape BB is linked to playing minutes.

Sure it is. There is a reason why the top players in the NBA do not play 48 minutes per game night in and night out. There is also a reason why top teams sit their starters when they've clinched the playoffs.

How tired a player is definitely affects his performance negatively, and this aspect is mirrored in game shape behavior in BB.

BB is at this moment not at a level yet that people can do 3 games at satisfactory level except maybe the top 12 in BB. Most people can afford or have trained 2 or 3 people in their first 2 seasons so no way they are able to do 3 good games in a week. Does that mean poor management?

Yes. I don't buy the "can't afford" theory, and if you've trained 2 players to the detriment of your team in the long run, then this is most definitely poor management. As you said it yourself, this is a long-run game, and it applies to all of its facets, including training.

I see the merit in your argument -- and it's quite different from "game shape is forcing people to throw minutes", to which I was originally reacting (I think).

Carrying 12-15 decent players might have its downsides, but it also has its positives: you can carry "more specialized" players for different tactics (thus more flexibility), you don't have to worry (that much) about injuries, etc.

After you have played your first 2 games, you are pretty much stuck with who you are going to play in the 3rd one. So carrying extra players only gives you flexibility in some games.

Though average NBA teams play their starters much more per week then we can in BB. Here's the top 5 in total minutes for the Lakers during 08-09 last year:

NAME..........gm/wk.. mn/wk..mn/gm
Kobe Bryant....3.4.....123.3....36.1
Pau Gasol .......3.4......125.0....37.0
Lamar Odom....3.3......96.5......29.7
Derek Fisher....3.4.....101.7....29.8
Trevor Ariza....3.4......83.3.....24.4

gm/wk = games per week
mn/wk = minutes per week
mn/gm = minutes per game

The games per week is pretty close to the 3 we have in BB. As you can see, the Lakers played their players much more per week then you can do in BB.

I'm not saying this is poor game design, but it is different from the reality of most professional team.

I think the league and the tournament were considered separately in the calibration of minutes for game shape -- which is probably logical, given that the majority of the teams are not in the tournament past the first 2 weeks of the season.

It's far too early in the game's evolution to state with authority what optimal management is, any statements to that effect are merely opinions. I do think it's fair that there is a consensus among the teams most successful so far that at least eight good players are needed on your roster.

I think about 11 is the right number but enthusiasm management issues lead managers to focus on some games more than others and this is seen as throwing games. I don't think it is, it's more a question of giving yourself the maximum potential to win the games you have identified as must win games.

There was a good post on the EBBL forum recently that said that you can drive yourself nuts wondering why Team X CT's Team Y but TIE'd Team Z - it's better to think of it as everyone having their own masterplan - so don't worry about where you fit into someone else's.
