If it had bugs, it wouldn't be released.

The GE released for the first games of the season wasn't bugged, it just didn't behave the way the BBs felt it should.

You have become a good joker recently.

Just to ask, is that normal what happened in this game on the rebound?

(15023681)

First of all till now i didn't see the game, but sometimes random could create silly results ;)

Like giving all team below averages in blocks in my 10-12 game sample, or giving here a lot of rebound for one team. Even if it was a bit silly in ym game to, where my center grabs to rebound in 36 minutes, who catch normally 12 in the same time.

So now i will look at it, and maybe edit this post^^

So, now I have complete stats of my last PL match.

1) 33% of all opponents shot has no defender in commentary - I think it would be very useful to mention defender all the time, especially now after changes in zonal defences. Is it possible to include this to GE?

2) I played 3-2 Zone to opponents Look Inside and looks like it more or less works. Number of shots close to the basket defended - C 16, PF 17, SF 1, SG 4, PG 7 (but 2 against C and other 2 against PF), 26 without defender in commentary. Especially shots of his SF was defended by my PF or C.

3) There were quite few shots mid range or 3-pointer to make any serious stats, but mid-range (including long 2 points) shots was defended - C 10, PF 2, SF 2, SG 3, PG 1, without 5 - especially 10 of C (6 of them against SF) looks quite strange. Does it means that in 3-2 zones outside player defends mainly 3-point shots?

Sometimes there should be no defender. Breakaways, defensive mixups leading to wide open jumpers, great screens, faking a guy out of his jock and going to the hole... All possible instances of there being no defender. Just sayin...

Amen to that. Not sure if fast breaks are modelled at all, but I'd guess no based on my subjective impression of the rarity of short-possession layups and dunks.

No, usually I use English (UK), but after your answer to my message in bug forum I switched to English (US), because some lines are not "translated" to English (UK).

It's reaction to BB-forrest message:

Plus there is never no defender just sometimes the commentary doesn't list it.

So, I would like to know, who defends all the time. In case it's mutliple defender so all of them should be listed in commentary.
The same lines were in old GE, but there PG was always defended by PG, etc.

this new ge make me smile.

my opponent scored with the 50% the 3 point shots and I'm defending with 3-2.
No other comment needed.

I think if you've played zone in RL, or have watch a "proficient" amount of games and looked for what defenses do, you would see mismatches all the time.

It was said before, if your team is good you will still win. The new engine, IMO, is a more realistic representation of top flight basketball. These guys improve the game every season and I for one, am happy they aren't just sitting back.

Plus, guards with 1's and 2's in inside skills and 12 and 13's in outside skills could be deemed inferior to guards with 5's and 6's in inside skills and 10's and 11's in outside skills, which in many cases is true in RL.

Daniel Gibson vs. Delonte West for example. It all depends on your system I guess.

Adapt and overcome friends. If your a good owner and strategist, this is merely a bump in the road.

One thing I will try in my PL is Princeton. Hopefully with the new engine it will be more effective. I think the lack of owners playing it shows its lack of effectiveness.

half a season delay and still plenty of buggy stuff... congrats!

1) 271 points in my today's game
2) 3-2 defense and my C defends on jumpers of opponent's guards (what is that?)
3) down by 6 with 2 seconds left and ball to the opponent's... isn't it time to give up with the last minute strategy (fouling after 2 seconds, etc.)?
