LOL,

You are the pearl among those before mentioned, semi-farm team with two 100k players, and you think that you are the right person to talk about "good or poor management issues", well, I don't know how did you grasp the whole BB idea, but I can tell you that it's completely different from the way I did.

P.S. @EGMs: sorry, but I needed to answer that in this way

Okay, but the main point is still the same.

No, it's not. It completely different.

But do you have suggestion about minute managing then? I would really like to hear one.

I really don't understand what most people that have disagreed with you, want, that all of players on their team has proficient GS all of the time, well, that wouldn't be any challenge at all.

Well, the initial discussion was about throwing games, and my initial position was that if you have to throw games, there is something that you're not doing quite right.

Of course, like just about anything, BB is a game of choices and trade-offs. You can choose not to bother for one of the competitions and concentrate on the other. However, I still think that maintaining a squad that can play 3 strong games a week has its advantages, but this is apparently just me.

I do not, however, subscribe to the view that teams just have to throw games for one reason or another.

Yes, but that's same story from different angle, they are throwing it because of maintaining high level of GS.

I have a question referring to that: If player's stamina is high, can you play more minutes per/week? I think that with a guy who has prominent stamina, You can play 80 min week. Am I right?

No.

Then it's all said in second post:

I think, it's hard to make every action, between cup and division but it's that because the problem for the manager is here.You can choose to have a good roster or to have a good medium team for playing every match like it's possible.
But for me, in high level, the problem is to make too the training for with their young players and taking good scoring in same time.

You have to choose one of these options, and just hope for the best. Both of them has own pros and cons.

I am a semi-farm team? I have two 100k centers who I don't train, one 77k power forward who I am training in perimeter skills, a few other players, and then 4 rookie 18 year old pg/guards who I have started training this year (because after 7 seasons of training big men I wanted to try something new). So I am a farm team for two players who I don't even train? Are you serious?
If this is the level of discussion when one or two users dare try to bring constructive criticism, then obviously this forum is a waste of time.

Edit: to further underline the stupidity of your statement, I would like to point out that you take my team as an example of poor management (in regards to game shape management and consequent game throwing), and yet this season I have not, nor do I intend to, throw any games. And last season, when I did throw 4 or 5 games, I was one of the top 16 teams in the Cup (in the country with the most BB users in the world), and I came within 3 points of playing the final in an extremely competitive league (and I managed to keep a healthy economy). Would you call that poor management? And if my example isn't enough, I would like to point out that last season's italian league&cup champion threw a handful of games during the season, and has already thrown at least one this season. Do you think that he is an example of poor management (even though he is the best team in Italy)?

This was actually exactly my suggestion, which you can find in other recent threads in this forum.

Well, I have nothing against that.

I think it would add a touch of realism and a bit more depth to the game shape aspect of the game. Anyhow, I explained it pretty thoroughly in one of the forum day threads.
