for me it looks more like that the next BB is leaving the titanic......

It really seems like we are on a sinking ship and everyone is just waiting for everyone else to jump off..
BB Charles hasn't logged in since December 21st....doesn't he have to log in to change code or run updates? Well..I guess if they don't offer anything new or cool next season it will be the last sign I need. The last time I bought supporter I only bought the 3 month deal...Didn't know if it would still be around in a year.

The Physics say's you can't carry 2 mellons under one arm-pit or atleast that's the impression i our country,thats why he sucked at it either high RB BS ID or RB IS ID you can't have 4 Legendary center without going to bancrupsy


You can carry 2 sometimes 3 melons under 1 armpit... You can only fit 1 into your armpit itself... but you can carry multiple "under" your armpit, lined up with your body pinned by your arm. Unless you want me to go to some Chuck norris joke where he can fit 2 melons in each armpit...

The problem of SB is that it boosts the salary of big men for almost no profit. In fact, the number of blocks made by a player hardly exceeds 2 per game. The difference in the salary might be twice bigger, and in the higher levels it can be measured by $100K and even more. A way too much to pay for maximum 2 extra possessions in the game. So I'm absolutely among those who claim that SB should never be trained, and furthermore I personally prefer that it should not pop at all during ID training.

Just a quick look at last stats of my best player and shotblocker (Ran Bass, 10 on SB) finds that he had made in average 1.2 blocks per game. I wish he had 3-4 on SB and his salary was less then 100K and not to pay 100K weekly for 1 extra possession. I't quiet easy to check the stats of the players with 14-15 SB, but I believe that it would not show a huge rise (maybe 2-2/5 blocks/game). Compared to ID and Rebs, SB is almost worthless IMO.

But in most cases you can take one level out of ID or IS or RB and replace it with two or three SB levels, keeping the salary constant (so it's clearly the cheapest inside skill). When it comes to those 2-3 extra possessions per game that you can get by doing that, many believe that also the threat of blocking is a major factor of a team's inside defence. However, there's no evidence for that (at least that I'd know of), so it will for now stay as speculation.

2 SB levels do not lead to 2-3 extra possessions for sure. Maybe 0.2-0.3, and I'm skeptical even about that. On the contrary, 1 level of primary skills may be converted to those 2-3 possessions. On the other hand, your guess is quiet interesting' something I have not been thinking about. But during 12 seasons in the game I did not see a major difference in defense caused by a low SB level. So let's leave it as a speculation

at least i am going to train Sb more right now, and think the "worthless" aspect could be also said about ID.

I amde it to the B3 final with C with just 13/12 ID(and even lower blocking), with noticeable playtime.

And when we see that a C take around 10-15 where he converts 60% of it usually, 2 blocks you can get even with mediocore(on my level this mean 8-9 not 5) blocking ain't that bad + the same amount of shot where they affect the shots without blocking it.
