Basketball is a game of match-ups and ultimately, you'd like to allocated defenders to guard certain players on the other team, rather than have the PG guard the PG, SG guard the SG etc.

I think ultimately, if you're playing man-to-man (or other non-zone defenses), you need to be able to rank your top inside defenders and top outside defenders and match them up accordingly with your opponents player.

This could either be done manually or perhaps just have the game engine handle it automatically (might make more sense) and it wouldn't make setting your match order that complicated.

Another advantage of having the sim engine do it is that even as players sub in and out, the best defender would still always be on the best offensive player.

yes it can be nice if you can put a player on attack as SG and on defence on the SF

I would love to decide who is guarding who. Is my star player supposed to guard the best oppenent or should I better keep my star player out of foul trouble. I'd love to have more influence on the games in general.
its a basketball manager but at the moment, unfortuneately the chances to influence the game are only rare....

Not to mention your star player might be a weak defender while you have a defensive specialist who disappears on offense.
