..... I am certain that it will have some negative impact as the only thing it does for most teams is to complicate the transfer without added value/fun.


Perhaps added strategy? I think this will benefit those willing to be diligent on the TL, and be a detriment to those who are not. Extra effort reaps rewards

Yes, it could be seen as a mean for added strategy. However, the strategy in itself is obvious, buy domestic players if possible becuse they are cheaper, thus in the end it is more about who has the will and the patience to sit on the TL rather than who comes up with the best strategy.

Sorry to confuse you with Jokehim...

I see your point and I guess I agree, although it certainly wouldn't hurt my fun. I am of the opinion that if the game is too easy it's fun quotient diminshes. But, as I have said, I am not the target audience for the developers. And, as my first post in this thread said, we don't really have any clue what form the change will come in. I have been happy with the changes made to game so far in my 5+ seasons of playing, so I'm going to remain optimistic.

And, Jokehim, sorry to confuse you with Chespirito.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Ok, for this time, but dont make it again. Who would like to be mixed up with Jokehim? ;)

I would also want more strategy and "complexity", but that does not need to come with negative side effects like this would. The reason why you are not doing the optimal thing should be that you dont master it, not that you think it is boring work (as many would with putting more focus on the transfer).

Agreed that it isnt a complex strategy, but one that rewards players who put in extra time. We all have our own level of commitment and involvement with this game, and those willing to work harder in any facet of the game should be able to reap the rewards.

in the game engine, we have continued to improve the end of game logic, most notably in the teams will be smarter now about holding for one shot at the end of periods. In such a situation, your coach is also more likely to call a play for a star scorer than he was before.


i lost my match while down by 1 20 seconds before end of match holding the ball. I thought my guys will try keep the ball until the last second (or 2-3secs) but they made shot 8s remaining. i know this new season change will not be done in every single period like that, but at the end of match it should be like that in 99 cases of 100 i think.

You would hold the ball previous 3 quarters if you are down by 1 to take the last shot making sure even if you miss your opponent does not have a chance to score again. In the last quarter you rather get a shot and take the lead or have a chance to rebound your own miss than play all your cards on last second shot when the opponent knows you have nothing else to do than shoot (making it a tough shot).

this was question about game engine not about real life match. anyway i would definetely not make shot 8 secs before the end of the match it is too early

BB is trying to make the GE as close to RL situation as it is possible. Have you ever seen or played in a game like that? I would even take the shot earlier if I was wide open. Getting momentum and putting the other team under pressure and if you miss have a chance after reb or quick foul and try again.
