Of course you can, but at the end of the day its all about wining. How we will do that? whats the easiest way? Whats the faster one? Its not like our options are equal.

Tactics should be the decisive factor for a team to win a game when 2 teams are close. Also tactics should punish the managers that are choosing the wrong 1 too. I cant accept that you can win for example using 3-2 zone or 1-3-1 against LI/LP, but you cant when you use 2-3 against RnG or motion. Just doesnt fair to me.

A center has to have good inside skills and some jump shot, passing and driving.

No argument at all here. Just dont make C's like guards...

Well 1 part of tactics (as the real life) is to have the right players to use them. But you cant resist to exploit for example the poor big men of the opposite team even if you dont have the right players to do it. You are talking for the good players that the 90% of them cant bought from the majority of the teams. We all know that the ideal is 1 player have 20 on all of his skills, but we all know that we cant have that.

O fcourse if i play against much weaker team than mine i should win anyway, couz after all good players is the 1st

We dont have the chance to change tactics during the game, so i would love my trainer to listen my advices, couz he is just a machine, he knows only 0 or 1. So i want my trainer to follow strictly my instructions. If i am wrong, then i can use the ratings to evaluate what i did wrong, and the next game i will adjust my team/tactics.

Maybe after all the problem are the ratings. They dont give us the proper feedback. The less that we are impact the game the less fun we get

No, something is wrong with some managers, because tactics are quite useless if you don´t have the appropriate players.

Tactics are useless without the adequate 5 starters and 5 backups.

The faster you learn this, the faster you will get to the top and win games.

I am not really interesting is a conversation like this. Please, my god, enlighten me! :D
Seriously, I guess we are talking two different languages. Of course the best manager is the one that adapts the best to the game engine. Of course the best manager is the one winning the most.

Tactics are not so important in BuzzerBeater

That's exactly my point. They should be more.
But not because I am not good enough to take the best from the GE... because it would be more fun. As simple as this.

I am not sure what you are talking about. To me, setting a line-up is a part of setting tactics. So I would say that tactics are incredibly important in BB.

Ok, I have read some of the points of people defending the new engine and I am starting to understand them. Here is my main issue, though:

-the new tactic that is emerging is for people to play PGs at the SF position when they play look inside. This does two things: it bolsters your outside defense so that the SF cannot make passes. It also allows you to get the ball into the hands of your big men at a fairly high frequency.
-it is a great way to find a fairly inexpensive SF. Not many SFs in the world can do everything. But there is almost no trade-off here. You defend well and you play offense pretty well using a PG here. Of course, PGs are fairly rare, too and this is driving up their prices.

But does this not seem unrealistic? Would you put an NBA PG up against Lebron and expect good results?

I have a suggestion to end this silliness, but again my question is: is this the way we want BB? If so, then there is no point discussing suggestions.
