IndeedOne poster wrote down something simple that can help you make a decision and that is to simply watch the game. You would be surprised how many don't have the time or choose not to really. So eye witness evaluation..... One of the more important aspects of a GM is taken away. Or how about this. ... if and when you do watch a game or games, see how many positive things your players do to help you win games. ... if you win any games at all then you have your answer. Some Gms don't take stock into watching games like a GM.... they watch it like a fan. ... the two are diametrically opposed. IMO.
We can debate on the other half of what you spoke but it quite clear what was said. "New players wont play well when bought to a new team, they play well after some time", I'm not making it up.
They don't make BuzzerBeater players like they used to. We're not sure if it’s today's society, education standards, or sheltered mentality, but players these days just seem to need more time to acclimate to new surroundings and teammates. As announced in the Season 23 news post, players will now experience a game shape drop upon joining a new team. The game shape hit will affect players in peak shape the most, with the effect having a lesser impact for lower levels. As announced, the affected players should bounce back to form in a couple of weeks with proper weekly minute management.
