Be unpredictable. There are pretty fast tactics that are listed as neutral, try one of those.

If you observe those 3 games, the first two games has no prodiction thing. I admit I really lose it to the better team. just by the ranking, it's hard to win against those two teams. the second game, i never thought it was a close match, but it's really great, i don't feel bad about it. Even though i lost those first two games, i don't feel bad.

But what I am really upset is the last game where he predicted half of it. I think we're evenly match but because of the prediction thing, I lose very bad, double digit, it is almost decided in the third quarter. But how would you feel if you lose to other teams because of the prediction thing???

Compare the last two of my games. In game 2, there is no prediction thing, I fought a team much stronger country rank 411, I only lost 3 points. In game 3, my opponent is still stronger the me but rank lower than my last opponent, 811, then I lose very very bad, 106-127, just because he predicted that I will play a fast pace.

I know that this prediction thing happen because of the look inside strategy, but the effect it puts on the game is terrible. now you have to put on a team that is flexible, that can play any strategy, man, in real basketball it's very hard. instead of improving those defense in game engine, they do this prediction almost a guessing game. what i know in real basketball, you beat teams by defense and not by guessing what will be their offense. And aside from that, it's hard to form a team that can play outside, as well as inside. would you imagine your starting center will shoot more from the outside, even taking 3s because your compelled to play outside just because of being unpredictable? it will cost millions to look for centers that have good outside shooting. very unfair for starting players who only have 300K at the start.

also because of this prediction thing, you are to control the strategy everytime. I read once that within this game you don't need to log in a lot, even said once a week is enough, but with this prediction thing, this is not anymore possible.

i think that it would be better to overcome offensive tactics with defensive tactics, like to counter look inside, a box, or a 2-3 zone, or even a half trap defense, can be use to limit inside offense.

Just because of the imbalance in the look inside, instead of trying to confront and solve the problem, they introduce this prediction preparation thing that only benefits rich teams, as they can play any offense they want!

Strategy: Get good.

For real, though. In real life basketball if a team has great shooters and no big men with any good skills what would you do? You would put more pressure on the guards that probably have to slow the ball down for their bigs. Outside/Slow. What do you do to a team that has amazing bigs and subpar guards? Inside. What about a team that likes to run as fast as they can and scores with bigs and guards? Neutral/Fast.

The guessing isn't really guessing. It's planning for your opponent. Imagine that it is your players planning for specific plays/sets the other team is running, just like what happens in real life.

Rather than claim a particular part of the game is unfair, why not do better at what you have 100% control? Expand your arena, don't have your best players over 35, and get some 18-20 y/o players to train and improve your team from within. Your team has more to improve than what offense they get wrecked in.

by the way starting money is 300K. Expansion, I also know that and i am trying to expand. get good players that are not 30+, I don't think it's possible, they are expensive. train players, maybe in the future if i can afford trainers, they are also expansive, i only use default trainers. And if I follow this advice of yours, I will only be in a negative economy.

by the way how can you not call that guessing game? trying to predict their pace, their offense, isn't that predicting is almost synanymous to educated guess????

by the way, planning for your opponent alone don't win games in real basketball. making defensive adjustments, that's how you beat enemy's offense. This prediction thing originates because of the imbalance of the look inside, almost unbeatable, any type of defense won't stop. well to solve the problem, they do this prediction thing. Then the overly use of Look Inside will be solved. And this is what I think is incorrect. in real basketball Look inside is not the best offense. I believe they really have to make adjustments in the game engine.

By the way, I win my first game in the league against a team rank higher than me, i think i owe it to this prediction thing. my opponent just predicted them both wrong, while i only predicted for the pace, and then it's also wrong, but since my opponent has two mistakes, it cost him the game.

well even though it's a win, winning through this guessing thing doesn't seems right, it takes away the beauty of basketball. I think this will be better if you beat enemies offense through densive adjustments like using zone defense etc. Hell I don't know if these defensive tactics really work, because i also observe that most teams uses man to man, maybe this is the equivalent of look inside in the defensive tactics, hehehe.

well the ranking of the team, also counts. but for two teams that are even, GDP will prove to be decisive...
