Shot blocking is definitely 100% useless right now.

The only odd thing I've experienced since the changes has been my game on Saturday night.

I'm currently 15-4, tied for tops in the league, so we're fairly decent (at least I'd like to think so). We went up against a brand new team playing their very first game, and we got smoked by 30 points. It was never close. They killed us in the first half from outside, building a twenty-something halftime lead that we never recovered from.

We used a 3-2 defense against their Run and Gun, but my SG is the only good perimeter defender, so I can understand if we get torched from outside. They also destroyed us on the boards with a +26 margin.

I just didn't think a new team would have very many good players, so getting crushed like this was pretty shocking.

Well, if you train centers you should win in ID and rebounds, otherwise you'll lose all the matchs! If I've to play against a team that has better guards than me, the defeat is almost sure cause more or less we will have the same level of centers because we don't train them. You've to wait a little bit and to increase as much as you can your ID and rebounds, then you'll see that with some decent guards you can easily win against an outside attack.

Last consideration that I forgot to write yesterday is about home or away match; I'm quite sure that the new engine gives more advantage if you play at home.

PS: I've tried 1-3-1 in this match: (2299100), the result it was good. You must be sure that the other team will play motion or run&gun, otherwise you'll have more than one problem

You raised a second point worth discussing, which is that at the end of the game three-point shooting becomes very important if you are behind. Let me first say that there are actually two things that become very important, not one. It's also true that free throw shooting becomes very important if you are ahead (just ask Memphis!). The problem with taking a two-point shot in that situation is that you can't really make up much ground. If you are down 6 points with 30 seconds left, then if you take 2 point shots every time, you need the other team to miss at least 4 free throws unless you get a steal, or you can't possibly come back to tie.


I only read the first longer posts. Maybe it's just me but i would like to see a box in set order page saying something like: "who will take your last second/minute 3 pointes" That would give me a feeling of controling my wins/losses a little more. Now i see my c or pf's take last minute threes.

And now an utopic thought based on my last one, maybe we could also pick who will bring the ball over (maybe player with best driving/handling etc)

Nice lecture!
I think most people posting in the forum are logically people not happy with the changes, game engine, etc.
I just would like to add that after the changes my team stayed the same. I win the matches very similarly to before. I think my team is balanced, half of them are coming from my starting team and draft, I care very much about FT and stamina, I try to have players that allow me to use effectively different tactics and it works great. I did not have any player qualified for the ASG, and the salary is quite reasonable. At this moment my team is first with 17-2 balance in the second division of Spain.
Sometime I wonder why most teams are trying to specialize in outside or inside orientation, because I think the game (real and simulated basket) offers a lot more possibilities.
