Bleh, 890k+ salary opponent who has HCA and better GS.

Should I play inside iso, inverted patient (my top shooter isolating against either his SF or C who may be low-ish OD), look inside, low post, or motion? Anyone can feel free to choose and say any of those options at random.

Defensively, well, I'm going to need my GDP luck to continue. Won't be easy since my opponent can manage tremendous outside scoring and is obviously good inside too. I'll probably guess 'inside' as always.

No inverted patient. You have to remember that PD also counts. I would just go with your strongest offensive tactic. Does he use a lot of GDP? I dont think he should take a guess if he is stronger and has HCA, so with a right guess you might just make it (without much scouting, just based on your info. midterms, assignments, labs, quizess, all at once, october sucks)

Interesting. Yeah, I didn't want anyone to waste any time scouting for sure. I control whether I get smoked or am likely competitive through my GDP decision, so my offence matters much less in a way. I don't think he uses GDP much, but I'm limited offensively this week. I might just use inside ISO because I hate it so much and can use it as a scapegoat.

Sorry about all the posts. Just wasn't easy to come up with tactics.

Kept it simple and won. Somehow, I was up 28 at the half and won by the same margin. This against a team that put up slightly higher ratings than me in this very match. I'd say it's reasonable I won due to using a better offence, but a lopsided result like that is absurd. I'll take it. (78440531)

Superfreakys with a tough loss that could've gone either way. His SF spot got pretty unlucky (10 points on 21 shots with 117.5 pp/100) and his 13 AST and 13 TO despite good flow and a motion offence is sort of frustrating. I think he did everything he could and his tactics looked good for the game, just couldn't get the result. (78440548)

Forgot about last week. That was another lopsided win, but another game I could've lost. Close game with neutral context. If I missed my GDP and he used a GDP and hit (which wouldn't have been unlikely events), I wouldn't have won. Not as crazy a win as my second game, or maybe not that crazy at all (probably a 50/50 game), but feels good to be 3-0 when I should be 2-1 at best.

edit: oh, should be an easy win tonight too so 4-0.

Still have 2 more tough games left. Should be heavily favourited in all games until my final group game.

Superfreakys have essentially dropped out. Probably the right move at that time with 2 losses and a later game against a probable top 3 team.

Does anyone know when the B3 transfer deadline is? I'm not sure where to look for that info.

Pretty sure its sunday before playoff game but I would ask on general forum just to make sure

Would someone mind skipping ahead to the 48-minute mark http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/78441060/reportmatch.as... and telling me if my player Fabbricatore got injured and was highlighted red in my match? I'm curious as to why his minutes and stats were all goose eggs.

Thanks.

He was injured 5 seconds into the game. Bad luck mate.

My domination through group stage was unexpected considering my draw was, originally, quite difficult looking. I benefit from injuries among other things, but I digress.

There seems to be an unusual amount of absurdly good teams this season.

I figure I could realistically (i.e, >10% of the time) lose to 10-12 of the remaining teams, or beat (>20% of the time) any single team in a single game simulation. Ultimately I can't fathom beating either of the two 1.6M salary rosters or the #4 seeded Chinese team. Several secondary teams are much more salary efficient than me and could very well be favoured over me as well. By my methodology (strictly ratings), I'd consider myself an outside contender.

Other teams generally don't stray from inside tactics, and probably for good reason. I kinda hope that I be more free-flowing and liberal with tactics and GDP than others. Will probably cost me early.

*Many of these team's highlighted matches are missing 200k+ salary purchases that would further balloon their ratings.
