I read somewhere that leaving your lineup blank and selecting "let coach decide" gives you the best chance of winning. Can someone confirm this? Supposing that I have a diverse set of players, would the coach decide on a different lineup if I chose an outside-orientated offense as opposed to an inside-orientated one?

Cheers

I got better results this way, but this choice makes trainning harder.

Although there are a some (a lot) who see it the other way around.

It's for BB to know and for us to find out... And usually the hard way =P

thanks.

any takers for my 2nd question?

supposing that I have a diverse set of players, would the coach decide on a different lineup if I chose an outside-orientated offense as opposed to an inside-orientated one?

1st question - No, not if you know what you're doing. Maybe for someone who is a rookie, Let Coach Decide could be a better option. It will surely mess up your training.

2nd question - Not sure, but I suppose so. Otherwise it wouldn't matter what tactic you pick, would it?

Is your answer to question #1 based on any evidence, or is it just a guess? The way I see it, letting the digital coach decide will put out a lineup that works best against the opponent's lineup. As my opponent can play inside or outside, letting coach decide would place me in a better position to counter the strategy that he puts on the court.

The way I see things, the Coach will pick your line up to take the most advantage of your players, without taking in mind the tactics or skills of the opposition.
In other words, the Coach will try to put out the best line up, based on the tactics you have set up. Not on the way your opposition is set up. And this I think is the biggest problem.
When I set up my line up, I always look at my opponent first: which are his strong points, weaknesses, ways I can penetrate his defense, etc. If he has an amazing PF for example, I may want to put my best inside player at PF to stop him, or put him at C, so that my player is not shut down completely, etc.
That is the main reason I think, letting coach decide is not the best option.

It all depends. Do you think you can outplay an AI coach?

The AI puts in what it thinks is best and the logic is far from perfect.

Personally, I think it is safer to go coach picks from depth chart so you at least give him some indication on who to use and at what positions

I agree as well as dont agree with with this.the coach sets the best possible lineup in this case and this gives you the best option to utilize ur strengths to the max but it doesn't take into consideration the lineup or the tactics of ur opponene.like he will place the best possible PF of your squad as the PF starter.though this usually is beneficial for the team but in some cases you would want the best inside defender of ur team(whose skills are not good for PF) to play at PF coz ur opponent has a good PF but coach dosent consider this.
Supposing that I have a diverse set of players, would the coach decide on a different lineup if I chose an outside-orientated offense as opposed to an inside-orientated one?

the lineup will definately be changed coz as i said he would set the best possible lineup.for example if you choose an inside oriented offense then the coach will place the best passer guard of your team at PG while if you use an outside oriented offense then he might sacrifice some passing to get a better shooter at PG..

but anyhow setting up a blank lineup and selecting let coach decide will surely harm ur training plan...
