well, numerically, what is the difference between a 200k player and a 60k a week player?

arguably smaller than the difference between say a 20k a week player and a 8k a week player.

a few things to make up for the difference.

one, shotblocking at least on bigmen has a really detrimental effect on salary (making it unnaturally large earlier than what would be ideal), while its effect on overall team talent is... ummm... well not worth the salary potentially (at least this season now that the game engine has shifted back)

its a big enough deal that if i thought i could get a similar center with slightly lower shotblocking for the same price i'd sell jody ortega today.

so i don't know if i even want this kind of behemoth on our team, even though i'd happily take him.

as juice pointed out there isnt alot of mono player training, largely because things like one-on-one for guards, very effective training overall, almost mandates dual posittion trianing, so when its time to train presure you might as well dual train there instead of mono train.

there are alot of interesting thoughts on training and when the right time to unload players is from a team building standpoint.

Yeah but there is a difference between the perspective of the NT manager and the team manager. I understand how the salary calculations work. The point is those players are better than ours so how do we A) reach those levels or game plan for it?

Until we reach that level of talent it will be tough to win year after year.

Getting A's proves that I am smart and have, as somebody said, a matured brain.

And how is basketball a game of numbers? I know you use angles and stuff, so it would be geometry, but it takes many other things. It is NOT a game of numbers.

It is NOT a game of numbers.


Basketball itself is a game of number and statistics but that is an argument we will not get into on this thread but until you accept that you will never truly understand or appreciate the game.

Buzzerbeater itself is one hundred percent a game of numbers it is based on formula's and calculations and the tactics are based more on the formulas than anything else. If you cant grasp algorithms and mid to advanced calculus you will never be able to decifer patterns and similarities in the statistics which is the difference between a mediocre manager and a NT manager.
