Would that be the opinion of the people participating in the forums and what they want in the game or things who could really impact the future of BB in terms of numbers and newcomers retaining ?
Yes it would affect user retention both new and old. I've never used blanks, but I understand the complaining. Most people are complaining not because they removed blanks and they are not able to decide for themselves, but because blanks/LCD provided by far the most efficient minute allocation

Because like removing BLU, I doubt that the majority know or care about subs flexibility.
I disagree. If you remember in the BLU option Sid added extra flexibility on subs because there were several people who raised the point in the first thread.

well you were the first whom I've seen using the acronym. I personally don't care about the removal of blank lineups, but the issue of minute distribution is a problem for many, be it for training or GS management.

Look, I don't think people have a problem because blanks are gone. Even those who don't know what blank line up was, will tell you minute allocation as it is isn't ideal as soon as they understand how GS works.

So yeah, I believe that several of those who voted for removing blanks + improving substitution patterns will still vote for improving substitution patterns. Plus many of those who lost a tool to manage their minutes more effectively will also vote the same option.

There was no addition by subtraction in removing blanks. There was only subtraction. Efficient subs management was only available with that option and now it's gone, unfortunately.

Ok if you have the time to start a new poll, I'd like to see what the sentiment is now.



Im not sure that a new poll will gain much.

Personally Im a little deflated that there hasnt been an announcement as yet that an App is on the way, despite it being shown in this thread both in the voting and general discussion that it was deemed to be the number one most important change required

Can we add "eliminate patient tactic with an outside player playing Center or Power Forward" (lack of realism) ?


An outside player playing PF or C should get totally smashed on the boards which should offset a little the mismatch they get from outside shots under a patient offense whilst being defended by a PF or C who in theory will have low OD.

I dont think a defensive switch can offset this rebounding mismatch.

Imo the minute management needs to be abandoned completely - best lineup should play every game - period.

It's not like you would see players switch between starting - being benched and not playing a third game at all in real world on a regular basis.

That would make the game much more easier and appeal to the casual gamers we try to attract and retain.
