I really can't understand why I've lost my last 2 league games ((8815099), (8815107)). I played motion against look inside having much better stats then the opposite teams. I can't help noticing that since the change of inside tactics by the BB staff that inside tactics have now improved, in my opinion, excessively. In the second game my ID and RB were higher then opponent's IS and RB also my OS was much higher than his OD. A game that I expected to win easily by a large margin I lost by as much as 20 points. I have to admit that before the changes my team has won a few game's against IS teams that should have been losses. I also admit that there was a gap between inside vs outside tactics but I think that the changes might have moved the gap to the other side giving the insiders the edge. Any one has similar experience? I think "Inside vs outside tactics after the changes" might be a good topic for a new thread. What do you think?

Match-ups are more important than ratings. Giving up three extremely high PP100 will usually lose you a lot of games, and you did that in both cases.

what do you exactly mean by PP100 matchups?

Points per 100 possessions is the stat that actually evaluates the quality of the shots taken from each position during the game. If you inspect the two game you posted, in both of them your opponents have three position where they took really good shots (100+ points per 100 possessions, sometimes even 110+), while you usually had only one. As I said, this is a quick way to lose lots of games.

Team ratings really only tell you half of the story. They are useful when you're trying to evaluate a team in a game you didn't participate.

Make sure all of your players have both offensive and defensive skills usually does it

It seems I can't find an explanation for these 2 games:
(8594359), (8594373)
Maybe someone else does?

I first thought about that too, but there was only one player with stamina lower then mediocre playing in those games :-s Shouldn't that be enough?

Your shooting percentages are too low for an RNG offense, especially from the PG position.

Percentages are going to be lower in that offense, but below 40% is unacceptable, IMO. Slow it down in the Motion offense, or go with a more balanced offense (Push the ball, Patient, Base).
