You know, I can sorta see that Shot Blocking development already coming...


Then 2 things will happen... big man prices will plummet further (i assume that most trainers will stop training RB/ID/IS at Marvellous so they could afford decent SB) and i'll regret both my last purchases!!

It's no more costly then swapping the over-training done on JS to OD. It makes sense too with the overall underdevelopment of guards with truly great passing. Expecting my 12/13 passing guards to do anything but get owned by a set guards with 18, 19, maybe 20 OD makes total sense. Your inside guys can't score if they can't get the ball in the paint.

True, though i'll be surprised if it's useful to have as much shot blocking as the other three main skills. Of course, no one knows until it's been done successfully by a pioneer manager.

I think you've defined an age-old problem with MMOs there Charles: people are so concerned with blaming the engine they forget that most of the time the winning teams do most things very well. Not saying the engine is perfect but at the same time it's no where near as broken as some poeple might suggest.

Good luck to those left in the competition!

"Princeton" is the name of a University in the US where the tactic was first developed. So it shouldn't really be translated anyway, it's the name of a place.

I must be blind, all this seasons on u21 and national team and i've never seen his effect. My advice for all the managers who would like to try to train it, don't do it. I've listened many blames from managers who trained SB and at the end they saw that its not worth on terms of salary and on the game engine it has a axe effect.

I would think that the guy that helped write the game engine would have an idea on whether or not SB is worth it, right?

Any two will do
Any three for me

Won't it just boil down to whether the community as a whole all has a change of mind. IF we all continue to belittle its efffect/value (rightly or wrongly) then surely it will continue to have the same impact it is perceived to now in the future?

Off-topic. Do you still read BB-mails? Following the JudgeNik post in the Fed last night, I'll conjure up some questions for you for my inaugural interview!
