Tough close game loss. Gotta hate when the injury bug bites

My defense must suck! lol...we score 129, and yet still find a way to lose the game. the week before we win 119-117. Its like DE-fense? whats that???

At first I thought maybe it had to do with playing fast (pushing the ball) more possessions per Quater, but then it dawned on me that other teams (managers) in this league (push the ball) and you don't see score's like this!!! lol

I think my squad is similar to what the Phoenix suns use to be. All offense/ no defense!
Heck, even this year's GS team has more defense then we do!!! UGH

Okay, I took out the Shrubs and came close with the Bombers. Question for you guys, what do I do with Frank Rouillon. He is 32 now and wonder if I keep him or sell him.

Id sell him, develop the promising younger guys you have right now, and make a serious run in a year or two when big8 isnt quite as stacked as it is rn

I would keep him. The way i've been doing things with my own team is. Build up your young players in games that don't matter or in games you know you've without a doubt. In bigger games play your older players. When you feel that your younger players are ready to take the next step, thats when you get rid of your older guys. For example, Lee quick sat on my bench for the first few seasons, along with Ed. I haven't been as lucky to draft a decent SG,SF yet. But i'm hoping by next season I can have Woody built up to take over for GiGi, or perhaps see what i get out of the draft. But anyways, that's the program I use. Also 32 yrs old, you can still get good games out of him in the mean time. Idk how other coaches do things, but once a player in my starting lineup reach 28, thats when I try to look for a young (18-19) yr old and start building him up. By the time hes 22-23 he'll be ready to be put in the starting lineup. and it just keeps going from there.
Good Luck to you, in whatever scheme you decide to go with

Thanks for the help

thanks

I think, this might be my last season here. I'm not feeling this game. There's alot of things I like about it, like training, But the game system itself, doesn't seem to work the way it should. Meaning, it doesn't matter what type of style game you pick to play, this game will take unrealistic shots at times it doesn't make sense. So, if the system has you losing before the game even begins, then its a waste, in my op.

~Fair Where Foes~

I don't think it's perfect, but I do think it's the best basketball manager game on the internet and have been very happy with the development of my players and the way they play in games.

Oh yeah the development part is great, and by far the best part of this game. Watching players that started out with almost nothing, turn into better players and thats all due to training and training the right way. I have no problem with how my player's play in the game, until you reach the ending. For example, 2 minutes left down by 4, in base offense, and my team starts chucking up 3's????? 20 plus still on the shot clock, so theres no passing the ball around or very few passes and their chucking up 3's, make's no sense. I can see if the play clock was going down and we couldn't get the ball inside against (this case Steel). And this has gone on for the past few season's. So, to me and me alone, it feels like it doesn't really matter what type of game plan you put together late in the game, your team is gonna chuck up 3's if your losing. No matter if you're down by 4 or 20, I think, if nothing else, this should be near the top of the things buzzer beater fixes, since their always fixing the money n little things to that nature. All in all a great BB game, and free you don't find that to often, or the first 90 days are free then you gotta pay up to keep playing. So, gotta give BB that. Just needs a little fix on the ending system...I say "little" fix, but yet idk how that would be done lol.
My contract is up after this year anyways lol...so it's time to part way's

What happened to LeagueOfRioters? He was in the mix of things and just left. Big 8 isn't as top heavy any longer. He had a decent team too. I'm sure in a few seasons, he would of been advancing. I had my game plan all set for his team tomorrow, and now he's gone. It's a good thing i check lol. Now I gotta take a team on who i have no history on, should be interesting.
