but come on! if you are going to mix offenses along quarters unless you have a all around team meaning all of them can play inside and out no matter what skill level there is then its ok


when i mixed offense i could play push the ball, today ;)

I don't know what it brings if you had to look the oppponent tactic one times or forut times every quarter, when you are unsure play man-to-man or push the else, else play something like insidefocus, switching it very quarter has nothing to do with tactics for me.

It's a great idea. Give the coach more chances to change the game consideing the actual coach does not when the game is not going your way.

The coach does adjust tactics over the course of the game. Consider part of the last News item:

• Game Engine Update: 1st Quarter Logic – We’ve improved the learning algorithm used in our game engine, so the in-game coach will learn to shift tactics slightly earlier in the game. This will lead to first-quarter scores that are more consistent with the team’s performance during the rest of the game.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

I told that because when i played in run & gun, i'd never seen a team to shoot 35 3pts in a game!!!

I propose to choose the strategy before the game for each quarter or each halftime ;)

The coach doesn't actually shift the tactics that you have specifically set prior to the game. He shifts his decision making process, which consists of calling timeouts, when and who to rotate, etc.

But yeah, back on topic. I really like this idea. I think this game would be better off in the long run if the strategic aspects are more in-depth. Right now, the game isn't complex enough for me. I only spend a few minutes researching my opponents and customizing my lineup/tactics, which there aren't many options to begin with.

However I do not argue that more options is always pleasant I think that in this case it would mean more gambling and less real tactical game play. What will the other player play each quarter? what should I play to counter his tactics?
This will be very hard and more then often gambling will take place. Is this what we want?
Personnaly I don't like that idea.


Gambling is what we have now. We don't have any clue about the tactic the opponent will play. If he decides to change his habits and surprise us, we are lost.

What the game needs is a big amount of conditions and consecuences. For example.
"If player x of the opponent team is on the floor, I play player y"
"If I am winning/losing for more than 20 in the last quarter, I play my bench players"
"If the other team is playing inside, I defend 2-3"
"If player y has played the 30 minutes he needed, I substitute it"
"If any player has 3 fouls in the first half, he goes to the bench" (no need for the simulation to do that for us)
and so on...

That is the kind of strategic decisions that a real coach has to do.

Now we have the chanche to get the enemy when analyse him, with options like that -> ""If the other team is playing inside, I defend 2-3"" there is simple order for everygame.

"If I am winning/losing for more than 20 in the last quarter, I play my bench players"

"If player y has played the 30 minutes he needed, I substitute it"


The training systems become to easy

We are not coaches.

We do pretty much everything else.

look all my games i played since i started is R & G

and for me the reason your team jack up 35 3's is probably you dont have any other offensive option than to shoot 3, the defese had read your offense in the way it sees your players on the floor lock down on the drives and inside shots or perimeter shooting.

and probably your strongest asset is your shooting. eventually they will shoot :D

You're the manager. You pick the players, you train them, and you tell them how to play. Want a bigger arena? Build it. Want to draft a superstar? It's all about scouting. You make the decisions and you’re in charge!

That comes from sign in page.

I pick the players. (Manager brings them in coach decides who plays)
You train them (strictly a coach’s job, no self respecting coach would let management tell them how to train)
You tell them how to play (coach decision again)
Want a bigger arena (management only)
Draft a superstar (both the coach and management)
You make the decisions and you’re in charge! (I’m not in charge as the coach constantly makes decisions I would never make)

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
