I will also say, i just dont trust the blank line up as much as others.

The randomness is good to a point, surely.

But for the end game, there is such a risk of having guys in the wrong place. I just dont trust it as much as i probably should.

Ill put it this way. If my flaws as the NT "coach" is spending to much time setting the lineup over just selecting the 12 best guys for the game and running a blank, so be it.

If that is where i am failing the NT squad, i can easily "fix" that.

The bottom line is, however, NT Japan is still looking for its new generation of elite players. At best we have half of an elete player in Furusawa.

We will get there soon enough. But truth be told, me need more MVP's +. For the simple fact that they just dont max out. You know what is happening next door in china. We all know.

There is not finesse way around it. We need the stats to compete.

Low OD C = off the team even if he had highest RB...
Low OD SF = starts because he can rebound.

This logic is seroiusly flawed.

Low OD for a C is like inept/mediocre.

Low OD for a SF is like prolific.

the game engine change is coming.

This is what happens with a blank sometimes......
His G's were subbing in at PF and C. There was one point where I had two or three 5 OREB possessions. And when the SF(he did bust at the PF/C position) rotated in at PF and C....Look out, my two Level 19 rebounders when buck.
And Asano, 10 pts 10 rebs and 5 assist and Motoori 15 pts....Great games for the Nippon boys.

The japanese NT had problems with a blank just this season.....I forget what game but Tsunami at SG and Furasawa at SF....that surely can't be the best line up. How about last season when Furasawa would take long pulls at SF. Well, maybe next season we won't be talking about Blanks because they may get rid of them for the NT system which would be a very good thing.

Agreed. The ability to run blanks - and have them be MORE (at times) effective than setting a line-up - is simply something not working as intended in the game mechanics.

IF we are worried about the SF spot, partial blank with Tsunami Oishi 2 deep and leave the 3rd spot open or put in Ueda or Asano there.

I am getting the feeling that these rants are about Tsunami's lack of playing time. I was actually enjoying this thread this season because it didn't have a bunch of , MY PLAYER THIS and MY PLAYER THAT...Now it has reverted back to that a bit.
I thought we were talking about blanks and the need/not need for rebounding at the SF spots.
So I will get back on those points...
I only blank in games I know I will win...
BB3, I have only faced 1 blank line up in my 7 games and that game I won.
last season you said everyone in the BB3 ran blanks. I have not seen that so far.
OD and REBOUNDING at the SF spot.
I would rather have a 12 OD and a 15 REB over a 15 OD 11 REB at the SF spot....If they change the GE to where people will start to train JS/JR or run outside O....then I would re-think my opinion.
King Drive Ballers was selling his SF after his BB3 run last season and his SF had 11 OD, 15 IS/ID/REB and he had 11 REB at the SG spot to go along with two 18's at PF/C. I read that and I copyied it for this season...exept I only have 9 REB at the SG but two 19's at PF/C.....and it has done me good so far. It has let me keep my salary down and even win over half of my BB3 games. I do know this, the possession after an OREB is juiced(better % of it going in) and they lead to tip ins which = easy buckets or fouls. This is what a lot of teams are doing. The reason is not to many people have 12+ ID at the SF spot if they have a PG/SF there. And the mismatch of a 15 IS on a 9 ID while running LI is much better than a 15 JS 12 JR hitting a three while running LI. And 99% of people run LI.
