Well I just recently signed this SF for my squad to be a decent jumper shooter in the wing but he's been firing 3's like crazy when he's not even that good of a jump shooter and there are more qualified players on my team who could make those shots yet he's taking the most jump shot attempts every game. Is there anyway I can set some tactics so he doesn't take as many shots or atleast not as many 3's? He cost me my last game.

Because you've been playing Base Offense as your offensive tactic, the players don't really have any set orders and will just try to take advantage of the opponents defense.

Looks like the opposing SF's have been fairly weak, especially defensively so your team is going to your SF quite a lot.

You can try different tactics to go inside more or to shoot outside more but whatever tactic you use, your SF is pretty much going to be involved in everything so you'll just have to work around it if you're not happy with that player.

Okay just had another league game and once again Mr. BallHog shot 8-25 FG's. I don't want to switch from Base Offense because that's the offense my team is best equipped for but I want my PG/SG to have the most attempts. Any way to fix this?
BB needs more advance tactics because this is just ridiculous.

I've had this problem in the past. And sometimes now as well.

It's probably because the opposing SF is relatively weak on OD, and so your team tries to take advantage by going to your SF, even though he is not that good of a jump shooter.

You could try using a better shooter at the SF position, and have your SF play a different position. Or, you have to just sell that player if he continues to chuck up shots like crazy.

I think you should get a better opinion from a more qualified player though.

you need to either:

a) change tactics
b) change line-up
c) train player to make him better
d) tell your opponant's SFs to get better OD
e) train your players to be better so they take mroe shots

I would just sell him

line up other players who will have better chanche to succes with their shots, your SF throws that many balls because he is the best option - when he throw alot the defense also get stronger on him and weaker on his team mates but when they are still to weak he statrs to missing a lot.

Let me get this straight, you want your PG and SG to take all the shots even though they are a worse option than your SF? Why?

I always wonder why a low-division team would spend cash on an old player who isn't all that good. If you want to win games down the road and maybe be competitive in a higher division one day, you need to train up from Div. V. I'd say cut your losses and dump your poor-shooting SF and train.


if you buy young player and can not train them, you waste money.

So start training with one thing, and buy competive cheap old players for the other positions seems to me like a sucessful way.

you like to train 5 positions, and you could manage that each player gets the training he needs?
