Seems like the biggest dispute between my ideal and yours is passing.

From the Game Manual:
Passing: Helps to create good shots (and get assists). Bad passing can also lead to turnovers.


The first part, "creating good shots" I think can be addressed by the work that GM-hrudey is doing. He's basing his team off of data gathered by wozzvt who put together the advance stats tool that used to be on the USA-Offsite. Baically what the data shows is that in the BB engine there are often a lot of teams and players that shoot better when they are being guarded rather than taking open shots.
As far as getting good shots, I don't think passing is the key. I think being a good shooter is the key.

The other half is, in my opinion, the more concerning part. That is that low passing leads to turnovers. I think, however, that KK-Mordors experience winninig the B3 with abysmal passing should be evidence enough that teams don't necessarily need it to compete.

Mordors players all had very high HA though that is a component that helps prevent turn overs.

Yes, exactly! I think handlng alone is enough for good O-Flow and turnover prevention. That's why those ideal guards I built earlier had high HA but I left the PA to a low level to allow growth in other areas.

I think players who shoot better guarded are exploiting mismatches, and that goes to getting your team to shoot at certain positions.


I think generally the mismatches help, but I also had a guard who had the highest JS on my team for most of his almost four seasons, who consistently shot a much higher percentage on contested jump shots than on uncontested ones (something like 55% on contested vs. 45% vs. uncontested). This wasn't a case of a guy playing out of position either, nor was it something that only occurred against lopsided competition. Now that the offsite's advanced stats are dead, I can't get exact numbers any longer, unfortunately.

To do that you would have to have players with high OD, RB, and ST. Most players with high OD aren't being trained in RB, and vice-versa. Theoretically, yes. You could do that. But the builds would be so out of the ordinary. Also, if the other team has at least 2 amazing bigs with RB even close to yours then you won't really lower the difference.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.
