I have a suggestion that could add a new element to this game. In your coaching settings, you should be able to set player roles. For example, if you have a PF with amazing 3 point ability and just an average inside shot you could set him to a "stretch 4" which would make him attempt more 3's and less inside shots. Or you could set your PG who has great driving and passing as a "drive and dish out" player. Catch my drift? This would allow you to make specific personnel decisions and is very realistic.

Cool but, won't work.
The Game engine can't access all those details.
But, keep on suggesting.

If something like that would work I would love that, like someone on the bench who comes off for some quick scoring when you're down by like 10

Sure, it would be cool.
But. it wouldn't go with the game.
We have team tactics not player tactics,
it would end GDP.

Could have both, for example the T-Wolves primarily used G. Dieng as a defensive force off the bench when the game was close or when the T-Wolves were up by only a few points

We understand that it is a good opinion if it was possible, and we understand all the examples. What he is saying is it is too hard to implement because it would mess with the Game Engine and make it do wacky things. BB should stick with team tactics, and avoid player tactics. Also generally if you have a stretch 4 player as what was mentioned, he will shoot more jumpers and 3s than inside shots, If you don't play LI. Play something else if you have a stretch 4 on your team. This is why the GDP was such a good addition to the game is because it forces people to think outside of the box and did not mess with the GE.
