I have a team with lower salaries then most other teams in my league. Is defence the most important factor in this game or balance in skills? I want to save as much money as I can but I also want to compete as much as I can. After today I will be in last place. Can somebody give me some advice?


Sometimes you have to look at your opponent, realize that you can't beat him and do other things that help your team in the long run like get your young guys training minutes, manage the minutes/gameshape of your star players and play TIE to build your team's enthusiasm. IMO this is one of the most important aspects of the game and something that most struggling teams can't grasp. Instead, they try to win every single game and end up getting nowhere.

In your case, I would look at your entire schedule and pick the teams that you can beat. Then concentrate on winning those games (using TIE/Crunch etc...) and save as much $$$ as possible. Later in the season, a playoffs approach, you can take measures such as adding a player and building enthusiasm in order to avoid relegation.

Try slower paced offenses to reduce the amount of possessions so that the game can stay as close as possible for a late surge.

Defense is important, but not the most important factor.

I tend to end up with teams that are defensively superb, but offensively inept, and what I notice is that this is just not optimal. I was not winning many games.

Balance between the two is important.

For offense, you should pick one offense and do it really well. How exactly to do it really well is often debatable, but what I have noticed is that it is better to have 2-3 capable scorers for that particular offense, than just 1 terrific one with the rest at sub-par.

This is just my opinion, and please accept a disclaimer on that, as I am not all-knowing or perfect. But I hope this helps you out in some small way.

He has a great PG. So I say no to slow pace offense but you (OP) should play him on PG spot, not SG. He is really good and he needs to set up plays.

Just curious on why you like SB for guards? I haven't previously heard of anyone thinking on those terms.
