I dismissed RB. OD, HA, PA, ID and SB got more training and are higher now. RB got still training through SB but I didn't train it as a stand alone skill.


How far did you end up dropping on RB? The one thing I've always had a hard time contemplating was allowing RB to be too low, since offensive rebounds lead to put back attempts and no matter how good a player's defense is, you're more likely to give up points (or a foul) if your opponent gets an offensive board than you would be if you got the rebound. But I haven't built SB guys yet either, so my whole mode of prevention of easy shots by flooding all positions with OD was vulnerable to offensive rebounds.

Without training RB, he ended up with a double digit skill.
I never trained something else as OD, SB, PA and a couple of weeks ID. DR got a lot of ups. RB some too.

Yeah, there are more OREB than usual. But I still managed to have the best rebound team in the league... with a RB 12 C and lower RB players. At the same time my team had only 11-12 fouls/game. And this number contains not only shooting fouls. There were games were my team had no fouls after the first halftime.
OD is nice but from a certain point onwards it hurts you more. An example. Haek has such high def skills that the engine tries to navigate around him. During his training I kept track of all kind of stats. When he was at the same level as his opponents, he defended around 11 shot attempts/game. As soon as he surpassed his opponents, this number dropped and dropped until it reached the bottom line of 5 shot attempts/game... His opposing players were so overpowerd that they even didn't try to shoot... they passed the ball to another player.

I agree with the idea that a perfect Power Forward doesn't exist, depends on your team composition and on what you want.
I can tell you what would be standart/balanced PF for a MVP player:

131 SP:
13 10
13 13
15 10

17 16
14 10

You could have more TSP with a HoF...

If you make your opponents miss more shots, you'll get more rebounds. It's more the percentage of offensive rebounds you allow that would probably be the interesting measure, but in any case it certainly is an interesting way of going about things.

If you really talking about the ideal PF, I would say legendary for all skills! That's the ideal player, no matters the position but he would be too expensive. To be more realistic, I would go with a $164k PF such as :

12 / 8
12 / 12
14 / 8
17 / 17
16 / 10

TSP: 126

What made your player overpower his opponent? SB or ID?

The combination of OD and ID and as soon as the opponent takes a shot ID and SB.

I saw a Big recently with good defensive skills and 16 JS and only 10 IS on the TL. It was an interesting build that I kind of liked and went to grab him off the TL but didn't quite have enough money. Going off of that and your opinion, what would you think about this:

17/8/11/18/18/11 - 14/18/16/11

I think this is a versatile forward that can play just about any offense as well.


ALSO: Just noticed you are LA now instead of GM. What is the difference exactly if you don't mind me asking? I'm not very familiar with the LA term.
