In basketball many teams do not chase offensive rebounds, either situationally or in general if they can score efficiently on single shots. there are different camps of thought, but in BB I think we can definitely find room for giving up on offensive boards, even if its not a fullcourt game and you get no really defensive benefit from it like in real ball..

Crashing the boards and giving up more fast break points or giving up OR, but going back on defense faster would be a really nice addition to the tactic page (it would mean a trade-off between OR and better defense), but seeing how wacky OR are in the GE this is completely unrealistic.

IMO defensive assignments should not be based on opponent offensive settings. They should be based on skill match-ups and controlled by the defensive and adjusted every possession to fit ideally the skills of the defenders, as in real ball.

This would be ideal. Anyone knows what happened in the past when leaving defensive assignment blank?

And sorry about your mediocre scouting skills.

Yeah, you should thank Captainteemo! Anyways, math is really really simple. My main team is 7.9 average (and I bought a guy yesterday on 5 and I have an injured player at 5), my second team is 8.2 average (and I bought a guy yesterday who was on 4), your tankatatron team is 7.4 and you haven't bought a player for months nor you have any injured players. How comfortable are you with integers and decimals?

it is one of the first thing you ever learn in BB (I think)

Of course, but some people who are still close to Respectable in their 4th week perhaps need to take extra lessons.

Once again - if after 2 years here you don't know how to manage your forms, that's not my problem neither it's Marin's fault.

If you haven't understood what I wrote, then I can repeat it as many times as it takes. Several people mentioned subs patterns being inefficient, unrealistic and bad. The only sub patterns which were anywhere near efficient and realistic were the ones you got when playing blanks. So this was actually already in the GE, but now it has been removed together with blanks and we got nothing in return, exactly as many claimed it would happen in this very thread and the previous one. If you can't comprehend this simple concept, I can try in French, Italian or German, perhaps that would work better. As I've already shown you, perhaps you should refrain talking about GS with barely acceptable GS on your own team to show for, especially to someone who has been using coach pick from depth chart for the near totality of my bb life.

Now if you do have something to say about NT/U21 merchandise balance or about how tanking ruins this game for many (see other people's comments in this thread and elsewhere), please go ahead, always happy to hear reasoned opinions.

Thank you Perpete this is great news from Marin. It took me quite a long time to find the actual thread, so I will link it here for everyone's benefit: (267318.1)

Perhaps you should have a chat with some of your guys and try to understand when regular users disagree with you on your opinion of them (see Foto or whatever the name was).

That's true, but I mentioned him because his name emerged repeatedly in the past and I didn't want to name any current GMs who have similar bad reputation, since this would have started a flame war.
