True. Need to put the game strategy aspect back into BB because right now it's:

1: Look Inside
2: Man to Man
3: Blank Lineup
4: Let Coach Decide
5: ???
6: WIN!

its a good point

95% of league games i set a lineup & strictly follow depth chart so i can get training done

but in pl games i run li/m2m/blank/lcd & the team kicks ass!

you know that if everybody is doing the same, the best team wins?

I would add two more points:
1) Good OD shuts down even legendary outside shooting which makes outside defenses difficult.
2) The engine doesn't like having superb unbalanced players at each position. It is heavily weighted to a team of 5 SF. We had that situation in the IPBL 2 seasons ago.

1. Great to see this discussion still going.

2. Great to see something might be done about it.

3. Sad that it has taken this long.

4. Hope they're very careful with adjustments.

5. I hope they take the community's feedback on board when deciding up their adjustments.

6. I made a list.

I think we now have identified a handful of GE issues that need to be fixed,

1. LI
2. SB
3. OD
4. JR
5. salary formula!

If we can scratch the first two points off that list during the next one and a half seasons it would be already a big step in the right direction. To adapt to to such a change will take us some time (train different types of players, try new tactics...), fixing the rest might keep us interested for a handful of seasons - so there is a lot of potential to make this game much more interesting again.

I like the sledgehammer idea a lot, though
