Typing from phone so no long post here. I like the general ai, but the sub patterns need better descriptions or a guide page with what they do. There are a couple trouble spots...fouling and late game. I remember an ai change around s10 that was very nice...so they are helping out. About your sf...I was suprised by the volume of shots he took...but it made sense against me. He had by far the best matchup. You should be happy with that game

Thanks guys. After thinking about it all last night, I was worried that people might take my post the wrong way and think that I was trying to convince everyone to quit. It’s just the opposite. I want the game to develop and get better because it’s the one game that I have the highest hopes for.

GM-Jelme, I remember the ai improvements but that is when I think it took a step backward. I understand your point about the matchup and that maybe the reason why our game was so close (for 3 quarters) but the coach would have made some sort of adjustment on offense and/or defense. To me, having Dozer thake that many shot would only happen in an isolation offense and I had selected patient. If it was the best matchup, how do you justify the low shooting percentage? Why wasn’t Dozer subbed out when I have a decent sub on the bench? I believe that I had selected “let the coach decide” but not positive on that. I know that goes back to the coaching thing again. Then you have my game last night. How do you justify 27 turnovers to a “respectable” and “average” defense when I have almost the same personnel against “prominent” and “proficient” defenses in my last 3 league games with only 13, 10 and 9? The last time I remember having 20+ turnovers was when I was using “run and gun” and the other team had “full court press”. That I can completely understand. Was it because he choose CT and I had TIE, which, by the way, I think is the dumbest thing in this game? (I’m not expecting any answers from you, just ranting again.)

I’m going to stop now because I feel a lot better and all of you have convinced me to finish out the season. I’m putting a lot of money into scouting and hope to have a great draft and start over. Maybe by the time I have a respectable team; the new developers will have a chance to make some improvements.

Ps. Don’t think that I’m going to take it easy on anybody. I’m still going to try and win. It’s only fair to the other teams in the league.

I'm gonna go on record and say I'm glad you're sticking around, although it has no effect on my season whatsoever. It's been fun to match wits with you the half-dozen or so times we've played, and I hope to be able to do so again someday.

All the best to you.

Just a fyi, patient acts more like an isolation offense than the iso offenses...at least in shot selection

Glad to hear you are no longer on the edge, hang in there. Subs, strategy and minutes are my biggest pet peeves...
