When I was searching a top french player, I was competing against team which had a balance of +10, +20 and +50M in their transfert list. Once they recruit a top player at a decent price, they put him in the trade market again until they find someone ready to pay +20-50% of the price they brought it.

So I'm curious to know what your think about it. Will you take care of this or you consider it's acceptable ?

Is there plan to add an official position to NT staff ? And give them some "power" too. At least an assistant or someone of sort.

1. - it's quite frustrating, when your team operates in a country with a large user base, to have to be at the very top in order to do any meaningful international games. Have you, or would you consider a lower level type of BBB league ? Say one for D2, one for D3, etc ?
2. - how did you settle on the game engine of BB come about ? Was it more from enjoying basketball and did you have originally a style of play you wanted to promote, or is it all based on finding programing solutions that would make the end result balanced ?
3. - last thing, did anything player do surprise you and can you give examples ?
4. - well, maybe something else: dolphin on my iOS phone has never let me access live games. Could you have a tech page set up to explain how that would work ?

Are these open threes long threes? Are they contested but just not reported as such?

No, my team is generating all kinds of assisted threes, and long three pointers are rare.. So, play-by-play isn't always strictly reporting if the shot was open or not? If so, then I guess I can throw my analysis out.. Ok then, nice to know, that at least little steps are made in GE to balance the game..

1. Would you ever add another NT age group, like U24 or U25?
If so, any plans for when?
If not, what are the main reasons why not?

2.How far away from the basket does the GE look up JS rather than IS? Does it ever look up both? When?

3.Tell us something we don't know about help defence calculations (please). Is SB the only skill checked?

When will we have all the substitution patterns working well? Huge effort to destroy blank lineup, but we don't see any to fix the broken ones.

Another one: this season you implemented the BLU prevention code, which was the best way to create a good rotation between your players during a game, and I think it was one of the things that were really cool when you were watching the live game and the coach was doing a lot of substitutions as you can see in real life basketball game, instead of only switch the inicial 5 for the backup 5. The question is: are there any plans to implement a new sub system that would allow a better rotation of the team in important games??

There is a difference between contested and uncontested threes so your analysis is not bad, but even on the uncontested ones there's some effect of the opponents defense.

About shot blocking.. When you explain the GE, you say that the player is analyzing if the shot is good or not, and then decides to shoot or pass.. Does he take into consideration the opponents shot blocking? I mean, does, let's say, player prefers to shoot the jumper instead of drive or other inside shot, if he knows that the center has high shot blocking skill?
