Let's face this, GDP was added because of the overly used Look Inside. And for that, you are all now happy that other teams who love to exploit the Look Inside tactics or like to use them not because they like it but, it is very very, might be the strongest offensive tactics, will now think twice to use it.

In a match between two teams of equal strength, don't tell me GDP, can't be decisive or GDP can't affect the match. A team that has strong outside game is force to change because of GDP, thus that team can't play to it's true strength. There is nothing wrong with being unpredictable but not all likes to be unpredictable or have the luxury to play unpredictable. In my case, i am compelled to change my tactics because of this GDP just for the fear of being predicted. Or else my team will only be a punching bag in the league. I even saw high rank team loss terribly as his game and pace being predicted correctly.

What is unfair, there is the imbalance of offensive tactics, but instead of solving the problem, instead of balancing it, they put this GDP. that is very unfair. they avoid to solve this problem. I don't know if those defensive tactics are also working well. In reality, Look inside in real basketball is not unstoppable. 2-3 zone i think is enought and inside offense is not a good option. But here, it seems that those defensive tactics, are they really working??? Instead of GDP to stop for example the Look Inside abuse, why not use the correct defense to neutralize look inside????

As I said before, predicting how other's played is not enough to neuitralize opponent's offense. After you predicted, you must make necessary defensive adjustments, tactics. I don't see tactics in GDP, that is why i call it a guessing thing.

If you guys are contented with this, well I;m really protesting this GDP thing. Instead of solving the imbalance in tactics, they avoid it and put this GDP, very very unfair!!

First of all, I am not rushing to be in the 1st division. I just want to play my strategy, my basketball. But with GDP, I am forced to change the game, the pace, or i will just be a punching bag in my league. Not to be able to play with the game I want, that's what upset me. Losing because the opponent predicted my game, my pace, this is very, very depressing. I don't care if my team relegated, i only want to coach basketball, play my game, win with my own game. but with gdp, i am force to adjust, now where is the strategy, the tactics? Instead of making defesive adjustments, just do gdp and man to man, is that a strategy???

And now you think that...

Truth has been spoken!

where is the strategy there? he just predicted or should i say guess my game and my pace correctly. is that a strategy???

where is the scouting in buzzer beater??? by the way scouting alone won't win games. after scouting, you have to do defensive adjustments. you cannot compare scouting with GDP. In GDP, you must only guess correctly and you gain some advantage. but if you guess it wrong, then you just give an opponent an advantage. this is not strategy!!! it's just a guessing game.

Before GDP...

"hey this team will use Look Inside as always, so let's use the 3-2 zone to neutralize the them"

And then still lost the game. So they decide to add GDP coz the defensive tactics is not enought...

With GDP...

"hey this team will use Look Inside, so lelt's usde the GDP, this will play fast pace and inside game. Then the defense, well not much important, we have GDP, even man to man we can still win.

"Yes we won!! thanks GDP!!!"


Instead of solving the imbalance regarding Look inside, they add GDP. what a way to solve the problem!!!

GDP stands for Game Day Preparation.

Man to man, 3-2 zone, 2-3 zone: These are for a basic tactic or strategy or strength/weakness of player personnel (both teams).
Game Day Preparation would be preparing for specific plays that the opponent tends to run.

With respect, it really looks like you are overreacting and obsessing about GDP, and you don't appear to have a very broad understanding of either real life basketball preparation or the various other facets of the game we are playing.

by the way, what are you doing with the GDP, you try to predict how your opponent will play their game, their pace. you try to predict if it will be fast, slow or normal, if it will be outside, inside, or normal. there are no preperation

specific plays that the opponent tends to run.

Maybe in your imagination. What preparations are you doing in buzzer beater??? GDP cannot be compared with preparations in real life basketball. Do you think it's enough that you know the opponent will play Look Inside??? you also have to make some adjustments with your defense in order to neutralize their offense, things like double teaming or defensive switchings are some examples. And by the way, those defensive tactics you've mentioned earlier are not only basic tactics, they are also very fundamental, more important than the GDP!
