so you would never use such terrible pg, yet the winner of last season's B3 has exactly this kind of pg as his starter: 14 IS and 11 PA. how could that work? well, dyonisius figured somehing out a long time ago, somehing i realized only two seasons ago:iif your players have enough HA and DR, they don't need passing to set them up because they can create their own sshot. pair this fact with free IS on guards and you get a monster tactic with cheap, yet extremely eficient players. which neutral or outside tactic can compete with that?

I have a nagging question I've been wanting to ask. Before people complained how strong outside shooting is now that OD is to overpowered people are switching to inside offense. Since people are again complaining about inside offense team being to cheap to make SB was changed to counter this. Do people here really want a game wherein teams can't score against each other and can hardly break 80 points per game?

In lower leagues league 3 and league 4 I really don't think people will feel much about defense sets. If you get a pure scorer its hard to stop that kind of player from scoring in lower leagues.

And no matter how the devs changes defense, the more intelligent ones will find other ways to go around the changes. Happens in every game and I don't think BB will be the exception. Change is good but sometimes I just feel people are complaining just for the sake of complaining.

My mistake. Though you were talking 1:3 PA:IS (i.e. 5 PA: 15 IS)
And yeah, I realized that too somewhere between S11-S13 and made PG and SG with IS for myself, too bad so long ago we don't have a clue about the extreme changed on salary that BB were planing (reduced salary to half and even more).
(14591986) and (11977302) arrived my team with 18 yo and 19 yo. Both were well trained and have an outstaning IS, but also the others Inside Skills.

And again, a 2-3 zone were C have a high SB (let's say 14-16) and PF & SF with decent values (7-12) could stop that kind of guards easily even with the old G.E. But hey, they don't need to have a extreme salary if you give them HA,DR (free and don't have to train in diferent position) PA (free) and JS. Most Inside player don't have OD and M2M D it's the most popular D between managers.

Wait, are you saying that scores can get above the 80s? I've been doing this wrong all along. ;)

I get your sarcasm and won't try to one up you but I'm asking seriously people really prefer seeing games that everytime you score it just says missed the shot and can hardly score every possession?

I have 3 boxscores for you to look at of a D1 USA team: (59249765) (59249772) (59249786). He has gone 3-1 so far, and is 1st place in his conference. Looks like some people are just fine.

I haven't given up 100 points in a league game in almost two seasons, and I rarely score that much myself. I think reducing the effectiveness of inside shots combined with allowing guys to actually hit outside shots occasionally without being totally focused on it would be nice.

Wow you must be so good that you still are in 3.5 after two seasons if you can do that. Just getting back at you kidding. :P

Bigmen with good jump shot can hit the mid range shots well enough and threes if the opposing bigs are pretty low with their OD. Seen pretty many jump shooting bigs in my league over the seasons.

I have a question.

Is there a better way to do the bb draft.. Not to be rude I think it a huge huge gamble and rip off. I would like to able to assign training for the draftee.. like mini camp.. See if he worth my training time for my team, not all teams are the same.. Maybe im looking for a defensive type of player or a solid rebounder for example. blind choosing is not answer and blind training regimes are not as well, in those cases.

I like to see his guessed strengths and weaknesses as well what kind of player he is, more indepth reporting.. Maybe compare him to a certain bb player of bb past that are great like top 100-200 players, or your own team hall of famers .

Just a little more indepth is all, not just some random results that fictionous and to help your team but does not in reality. Draft is about helping the team build for the future .. I Don't think bb does in the right fashion.. I fire most of my guys because if I get a guard and I already bought guards the season before, I really wasted my money in the draft..

Im just really worried about that aspect of the game, because it would help a lot of top teams and bottom save revenue.

Yes, now I trained shot block early and gave my pf and center js/ jr training. If you find regular bb pf/center they don't have outside defense neither does a guard have great inside defense. .

A big man with10-15 js/r is the key mismatch, this seems to favor them.. . Is it expensive that's a secrect, I wont let you in on. Just know im having great success this year..lol

To tell you frankly I'm loving the SB changes. Dunno if my league has gotten weaker but my inconsistent PF is having the time of his life leading the league in FG percentage (.614) and second in scoring at 25.7 points per game. MY team playing LI is at 53 percentage FG shooting also. So whatever the devs did seems to benefit the build my PF has which can shoot from the outside and midrange.

One thing we have noticed also is more teams in our country in league 2 seems to be shifting away from LI and going outside. Must be afraid of the SB changes.
