Today's semifinals gave us the final word about what is, imho, the biggest limitation of BB now... the very limited tactical choice.
You can play an outside offense... or you can pray your opponent won't play an outside offense.

I mean... 56 points and 27% FG with prolific (high) against proficient (low) primary offense/defense and respectable (low) offensive flow.

I agree with this fact. But I totally disagree with your arguments for that. But I don't want to explain my general opinion on game engine. Everyone should find out how game engine works as I did.

But few comments of semifinal match:
Törööö's starting C has 50% FG, starting PF 38,5% FG. Total 27% FG is irrelevant, it was caused by very low FG% of the others.
And team ratings are not all. There are also matchup ratings and many other aspects which are not shown neither in team ratings nor in matchup ratings.

there were no arguments :)

Congrats for the final, you surely have a hell of a team and you deserved it. But still, are you sure that, with the same starting five and an outside focus, Torooo wouldn't have won this game?

Total 27% FG is irrelevant

it's not irrelevant for the final score :)
I didn't watch your game, but on a more general note, it seems very difficult to pass the ball to the big men... once they get it they have pretty high percentage shots. But otherwise, the guards will take very poor shots.
It think this is quite unrealistic... the guards should normally be able to pass to the big men (given decent passing and handling skills), maybe creating less good chances, but still better than the 0-7 and 2-16 they make (MR 33 and 34) as we saw yesterday.
In a way, it looks like all defensive but 2-3, act like full court press against an inside offense.

I meant this sentence. I can't agree. I'm really not sure that by playing Run and Gun, Motion or Princeton he would have got better result.

It's simple. Try to use different tactics with different type of players and you will see who fits which tactics and positions. Even better is when you know opponents skills as well so that you can find out if someone plays well due to his high quality or opponent's low quality.

In other words, you don't actually know how the GE works.

No, I only don't want to tell you. Why should I do that? To help my rivals? I wouldn't have any purpose of saying my knowledge about GE to the others.
Do you think it's only luck to beat 3 top 10 teams in a row and have smaller player salaries than all of them?

Salaries don't mean everything. I couldn't care less what you do. The hubris is astounding and I honestly don't think you have any more clue than the rest. I think you got a nice team by buying and selling free agents and were lucky to beat BC T because of better game shape.

That's sounds about right...


Or, alternatively, train game shape this week, play push the ball and man-to-man and you will win. I guarantee it.
