Do you rather have a player with IS 19 and SB 7, or a player with IS 12 and SB 14? Its an easy choice I think.


The problem is the bigger picture. You are evaluating SB through adding it on a LI center which is wrong in my opinion. One thing is certain: you can't play and defend LI at the same time on highest level of playing unless you are ready to cope with 350k PF and C.

I know that on the other hand, making a great shoblocking C without added IS, but with good JS and PA for outside tactics sucks because outside tactics playing is suicide against today's OD. I still think though that with careful roster building, you could play Motion/Patient and beat the LI teams.

But anyway 2-3 should give you more power to stop the LI tactic, I think you'll agree too.


I can't say that. If you play 2-3 defence you lose too much outside defence. Then PG and SG plays bigger role. They often tend to score most points for opponent team (even with high FG%). It rather means that guards are lack of ID/SB/OD.

@ned - The reason why managers don't use other defensive tactics is the same as why we use LI in the offense. We have no other players in the market to play different than LI/mtm.

outside tactics playing is suicide against today's OD.
Perhaps in 6 seasons some might say playing LI against that day's ID+SB would be suicide :P

I've never tried, probably never will, but I wonder if a team with 3 perimeter players with 23+ JS 16+ JR and no more than 12 OD (why OD when rarely someone would attack you from outside) combined with 19 ID 17 SB, 10 IS (RB 15?) Centers would do damage against today's LI based teams.

Actually I think JS and JR level is not the problem. OD is preventing a player from shooting and passing, but the cure is Handling. Also OD affects Passing less than JS and especially JR. So players with great HA, PA and shooting could be good against high OD. Of course some would say "I don't want to have two Joe Bronsons with 300k salary in my team"! But everyone forgets 300k centers are widely accepted nowadays. Also as you said, it would be enough if you lower one or two skills on each position - JR on PG, a bit of OD and PA on SG and even less OD and PA on SF.

Ok...then I cut down his OD, train his ID and put him as a SF in defense

I had an interesting and close match today, LI vs RnG
Still my best SF was injured and didn't play this match, but it was really close.

Following the result of the votes it seems BBs should work asap on the tactics. If they think all the tactics are working well probably we should know better info instead of "train stamina if you wanna play full court press".

I didn't write in the original post but one BB should be more "present" in the forum, in the old days it was nice to discuss with Forest; on the other hand I pay and I don't earn money on this game so I shoudn't take care about what could be good for the community or what should be improved but I'm still quite sure this game has some potential not fullfilled.

I also think the draft should be fixed too. again like half of the prospects are 19 yo and then more that remaining half is trash....stupid starters and bench warmers. so only like 15-20% of the draft is people worth it. I think they should increase the # of allstars and star potential guys, since they are the most managable guys and don't go rocket high in skills. Now in another suggestion thread that I created they thought I said about increasing the BIG potential guys, I am NOT. I am only asking to increase the # of profitable guys in the draft. a lot of teams never have a stud draftee unless they're in bot league or relegate......and they're lucky if they get a star if your the 12+ draft picks.
