I don't really get this new functionnality. I understand that the game curently favorises too much inside attack but I'm sceptical about the GDP feature.

First, I think that it's a good idea that both form of offense should co exist. But why force every team to use both ? The Chicago Bulls had almost no inside player and that didn't prevent them from winning it all. It's fine if some teams are inside oriented and others outside oriented.

Most important, I believe it's going to put to much hasard in the game. Your team is in playoffs final but your opponent has a better roster. Now you can use GDP and you might win the game on a coin toss. I don't think that's fair. BB is a management game and the good thing about it is that in the end the best team wins.It would really upset me to loose games because my opponent got lucky.

In real Basketball, teams try do disrupt tendencies but it doesn't necessary give them an edge over their opponent. Here you just have to click and you're sure it works.

I believe the Heat won because they had a better team than the Clippers anyway.

So basically it won't prevent teams from playing LI...

My biggest problem with this feature is it brings some hasard to the game which I don't think is a good thing. You know you're team is weaker, you have an incentive to use the feature.

Cmon on Perpete when you flip a coin, you do it voluntarily and yet the result is totally random.

My problem is if you know you are likely to loose a game, you will tend to use the GDP feature. And if you are lucky you might win.

You didn't get me Perpete.

For me flipping a coin is using or not the GDP feature.The intend of this feature is to help attack balance in the game. So let say both team are balanced and it's the PO final.

If I'm the best team and I don't know where my opponent is going to attack, I won't use the feature because I don't want to risk the penalty if I I'm wrong.
If my team is weaker, I will use the feature because then I might just win a game I was likely to loose.

The point of the GDP feature is to disandvantage you if your attack is predictable. The only thing that is indeed unpredictable is totally random.
