Press Conference

Benson; How do you think what happened yesterday against 76ersss?

Tough; Well, now I know not to underestimate them now.

Benson; How do you think you would've done wtih 1 more contributer on the court?

Tough; I think I could've won in relgulation. Now my minutes will make it hard to manage.......hopefully we can do better on Tuesday.

Benson; Ok, how do you think about the aquisition of Canals?

Tough; I like it. I needed a scorer for my team and I found him. He now evens out the scoring table, make our team pass more, and now we can make other teams guess who's going to shoot the ball.

Benson; How are you going to spend your 70k (once the update takes place)?

Tough; Well, I'm going to build more seats. That's for sure. I think I may be focusing on courtside. This is my outlook on the next set; 23 courtside, 2 lux boxes, and 100 bleachers. I think I may do 10 Lower Tier but the last game I had 482 of them filled.

Benson; How will you train your players?

Tough; Well, Outside Defense is my primary. I think I got Kruger good, May get Revfi in, barely Roche and Gonzalez. I want to get as many pops as possible.......

Benson; Ok, How will you face the Bode-Diggity Dogs, your new hated rival?

Tough; I hope Canals can buckle down and play some hard defense on Buer, and that Jakovic can do something good against Iorga. Also that Ruiguo can finally get something done with Rosales. As for Dekis, I wish him luck....

Benson; How will you build seats? Will it be constanly continueous or 1 big build?

Tough; I want to do it constantly, then before the Playoffs, get that good PF. By the last 3 weeks, I'll start just saving $$$. I hope that I can get someone decent.

Benson; Ok, how will your outlook be for the next games?

Tough; I really don't know I think I'll TIE the Daggers, I'll TIE the bots, then all the low ranked teams.......

Benson; Weell, what do you think your record will be at the end of the season?

Tough; I hope it's better than 19-3, Cometahalley said that I have a good chance at undefeated, but I'm not sure about that...........

Benson; Well, been nice talking to you.

Tough; You too, have a nice lunch!

Stay tuned for all the latest news, scores, highlights, and more with The Eagle. This is Max Benson, reporting for The Eagle.

Here it is. Got it from the Guide/FAQ
Princeton: The Princeton offense is an inside/outside offense at a decreased pace. It was up for debate whether this offense worked properly and efficiently in the old game engine and because of that it is probably the least favourite offense in BB. It was rarely used by top teams prior to the game engine change but is slowly starting to grow in popularity since then. The Princeton offense generally seems to act as an outside offense with a lot of three point shots taken.
Best Against/Worst Against: See “Motion”

Here's Motion


Motion: Motion focuses on the outside and mid-range game and it has a normal pace. With this offense, the majority of the shots will be taken by the guards and small forward. From my observations, a motion offense tends to have players take less 3-point attempts than with a “Run and Gun” offense.
Best Against: 2-3 Zone
Worst against: 1-3-1 Zone, 3-2 Zone (In that order)

Now Run N Gun

Run and Gun: The “RNG” offense is probably the consensus favourite in the BB world. It’s very similar to motion with the main differences being that run and gun uses as an increased pace and that your players tend to take more 3-point attempts.
Best Against/Worst Against: See “Motion”


There you go.......Forum message me for a question......

Interesting. Thx for taking the time...

Im using RNG as well with full court press, but wanted to have a different one that i like to change it up based on opponent... I might do full court oress def no matter what, I got a young team, they can run lol

We, first, don't you have to have 4 great BIGS to do that? I like Look Inside, I don't use RNG cause you never know if they'll have a good shooting day or not. +I think its tiring, I do these tactics most of the time; Push The Ball, Look Inside, and Motion. May do one more, like I did Low Post once. (slow LI basically)

+1. Supsomething usually does Man 2 Man/ Base offense. It says in the Guide/FAQ

Man-To-Man: This is the standard defense that all other defences are based off of. It has a balanced focus between outside and inside defense. It is the default defense used by all bot teams. Unlike base offense which isn’t used often, man-to-man is frequently used by many competitive teams. It is considered the safest option for a defensive tactic. There is no risk with a man-to-man defense but there is also no possibility of obtaining an advantage.
Best Against: Base Offense, Push the Ball, Patient,
Worst Against: Run and gun, Motion, Look Inside, Low Post

So I suggest Keeping Run and Gun cause man to man is worse with that (or Motion). Then for defense do Man to Man yourself cause it's best with Base........

I like the idea of full court press, plus Im training my Gs, pressure... I didnt know about the 4 bigs...

Ill try a few off tactics, but will do def man on man...

Hey, when are you doing your own newspaper? There are already 6, how about you???

What do u mean?

"I'm glad of how it came out. Especiallly after that 2OT. I know how our players have to be exhausted. Now I just hope they'll do well in the cup." says Marcus Terrence. Tough agreed. They deccded to TIE against the Bode-Diggity Dogs, hoping they can get as much enthusiasm aas they can. "It's only this time. I'll play hard against them on the TV game. I know it's our rival, but, we need to avoid what happened last year in the playoffs. This is problaby the only game we'll lose. I think we could go into #1 seed. If we do, I want to avoid what happened to atlanta panthers and Risers. That'll be heartbreaking." says tough. He also says he'll get his trainees some minutes. Like he'll start Revfi and Gonzalez. And he'll play the new Power Forward they have in mind. They'll also start James Coleman and back up draftee James Boyle. "I want to give the trainees as much minutes as I can. I also want to rest the starters for rest. For the cup game. Even though the backups will be enough for the cup, our team wants to make a statment." Says trainer Daniel Idah. What will the Eagles do next? This is Fredrick Dawkins, reporting for The Eagle.
