Just Frank.... The contest was pretty "exciting".

Back again in topic, I don't see a improvement of the current situation. Only Inside tactics and enjoy.

i disagree with you here. Considering that there haven't been any recent changes to tactics would suggest that they should be balanced. However, what would you chose? follow the clear path (inside), which the TL has an abundance of players who are suited for this tactic, or follow a pretty obscure path (outside), attempt to build an outside team (make considerable investmengts) not knowing if it will pay off? Following that second path is a huge gamble, not to mention that if you make a mistake, you can't just sell your player and find a good replacement on the TL, since players aren't often trained specifically to fit outside tactics...

On that note, i would like to congratulate Volketswil 76ers for having the balls to play an outside tactic in the most important final of BB! When i look at the players he's put on sale, then it doesn't look to me as if he has a team build for an inside tactic & yet he stuck to his guns using motion for the final part of the tournament (quarters, semi's & finals). The fact that he had the balls to try and challenge the mainstream, should show that outside tactics aren't that inferior to inside tactics. It's just that most managers train & build teams to suit inside tactics, and thus stick with it because it's the 'easy way' to victory

You're right. In my defense, I try to make a team like Volketswil but it's pretty difficult. You need a lot of money to do that. That is why I just let me go with the majority. It's a kind of sense of defeat. In that order, Buckeye tried too the last season. In semifinal if I am not wrong.

you didnt win semifinal because of your Outside tactic , you won it because 3 of my 7 players were injured :)

@GM-AthrunZala: Thanks. I really thought about playing LI for the final, but then decided it would be a waste of a chance. And in the end I think I would have also lost with LI, so it was the right decision, like this at least I had a chance to win. But ppl here are right when they say it is much more expensive to build an outside team then an inside team. But I'm still convinced, that with a real good outside team you can beat an LI even in the last rounds from BBB. In my case, my SG was just not good enough, that's why I lost.

@Misagh: You are absolutely right, but that's part of the game. I also had an injury after 10 mins into the final game. And I don't know whether it would have made a difference in the outcome or not. And after all I'd say that 95% of the teams would have still lost against you, even with those injuries. I mean, your players were huge this year.

I think you may be right there and it may have cost you a third B3 title. As I was watching everyone go through the B3 games your team was the one that I was most worried about. Although, you had a couple close calls with OT games in the playoffs.

Better luck next season!

I tried to win BBB using a team that could go both inside and outside as well, but I think that's a mistake in the current environment. 95% of teams are defensively built to defend outside, so of course inside is what will have dominance. If managers were to build teams that could defend inside, with high ID and SB players, then they would have an advantage in most matchups. It's difficult to build a team that would be dominant in everything, you need to see what build is best relative to what else is out there.
