So just because you don't find Patient realistic, the first thing you say is "remove this shitty tactic".....wow what an amazing diplomatic skill...If you don't think it's realistic, just don't use it.

:D. I see you don't read my message, only the title and reply. It's very diplomatic. I'm not talking about the use of this tactic, but the play against this.

if you want to play against patient, and the opponent has a huge missmach you whink will be used, play zone... And I love this tactic. it really helps.

So where is the "play against this" part? All I see is just sentences expressing your views on why the heck we need this tactic.

I agree, it's not the most realistic tactic ever, but I'll also say that when players put up those unrealistic stats, teams are far less likely to win. A few seasons ago we had a team that ran patient all year with their SF averaging close to 50 PPG http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/1805/overview.aspx?season=15 they won 7 games. It's unrealistic, but not to the point of being unfair. I think by and large its most effective at keeping a bad team closer to a good team rather than getting blown out of the stadium.

nobody will be able to make his big man take 30-40 shots with Patient even if he matches legendary IS against atrocious ID..
Here is at least one exception - Wisniewski and IV league (44242338) :) however, this is an extreme situation. But what is the solution. Just can't play zone to prevent patient efficacy, because 2-3 dosn't work and I can't use 3-2 if look inside is so powerful. Still there can't be Iverson - O'Neal missmach entire game.
C and PF position players can't play deffense as SF, SG, PG. Of course in this case training should be changed to train guards inside skills etc.

It makes no sense that you can win any game with your SF against other potent 2 big man offenses while having Respectable (7) ID...

I understand what you're saying but I just feel it's an unfair offense, if you have a good enough player to run it.

I have a biased opinion though since last season my rival only ran this tactic... I luckily beat him in our second game but only because of my GS and Crunch Time effort. I don't know how to do the links you do but check my schedule. Season 18, second game against PhL Azkals (Hawaii). His player even won the MVP award for that year because all he would do is score. So in my case it was a dominant offense. I actually feel better now though seeing him try his normal routine in D IV play against better opponents. It's safe to say it's failing horribly for him right now. (:

All that said, I would be happier if the tactic was gone too and that's my honest opinion.
