i'm curious, what happen when the only godd offensive players are your big men? would they score all the points? and does it effect the inside scoring ratings when your best scorer is a big man?

The SG still chucks the shots, which is why the offense is terrible.

Do you think Patient needs the same or at least similar conditions how a team should look like than Motion does?

I tend to use Motion quite often as I have a team with decent passing/ handling and a good overall offensive flow. And I wonder whether Patient should work out similarly.

That C was nothing more than a SF playing C in a throw away game.

Like it or not, it is clearly the most limited offense in the game. Absolutely terrible balance. The offense makes the PF and C completely useless unless they are jump shooters.

I both agree and disagree. I agree that it's a limited offense but it has it's uses. If you have a balanced team and you see that your opponent is going to start 1 or 2 players clearly weaker than the rest, it's a good way to exploit one of those matchups.

I won a cup game against a much stronger team a couple of weeks back by doing exactly this. I saw that he was going to start a couple of weak players along with his stars so I ran patient and completely dominated one of those matchups.

And yet Patient is labeled by the game manual as a neutral offense, which is incredibly misleading.

So really, the game has 4 outside offenses, 2 inside, and 2 neutral. And then whatever those goddawful isolation offenses achieve, which I hear is close to nothing, similar to the box and 1 defenses which are probably the worst defenses in the game including full court press.

Or maybe I'm just a realist. Maybe if constantly hearing things from top B3 and NT managers, and actually playing AGAINST these tactics and seeing their utter uselessness, I can acknowledge that they are in fact, useless.

If I'm going to use something on this game, it'd better be something that is established and well renowned and universally conducive to winning games. Not just doing something because no one else does it. Literally the virtual browser game equivalent of hipsters.
