Why this endless debate about Patient? Just play LI!

A weaker team, but it looks like when my patient was "broken" it was because my passing was not high enough to get past the proficient team defense. So I retract my statement about passing being included in calculation.

Passing was 14, 10, 8, 6, 10 on pos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

what defense do you play. I play Pat every game. . my pg passing is 7 or 8. he has led the div is asst for 2 striagth yrs. I play man to man.

You should try run and gun or push the ball, with just a glance I assure you that you'll win by a higher margin against weaker teams.

Fast pace usually give better result for the superior team on court... Just try and then let me know ;)

... theres a reason when you have 10 PA at C....

ok all right.. i will try that. :)

Might be the best thread I've ever read, any game.

Hope this isn't too far afield, but does anybody have any input for me:

I only have 8 players currenty (budget issues). Guards and 1 SF have good driving skills. Inside guys are strong (for my league). Very good shooting skills by SG and good shooting skills by PG. Inside shot is good for PF and C, but C has no JS. I've been playing Low Post to slow the game due to lack of players and not very good stamina (I'm working on it; these are players I bought over the last two weeks). I've tried man-to-man (not very good) and 3-2 zone (better).

Any suggestions? I'm a Supporter so I have PL games to test in (haven't done it before because I haven't taken this game seriously, but this thread has me pumped!), and I'll start doing testing, but I'm just wondering if there's any advice to be had.

I'm going to try Patient in next game just for the comparison.

Awesome thread.

How are you doing with money? adding a cheap veteran, 30 years old, could give you a nce boost.

Are you in to fight for teh title or not? choose your target, then play to win or play just to stay in the league and not relegate

I can survive on money into mid-next season if nothing changes.

I've been in the same league for 5 seasons and finished 5th every time, lol. I tried strictly building on my own and with draft without buying players, and my position never changed. I decided to start over and was able to get 4 very good players, 1 decent older player, and I kept 3 players that are serviceable/have potential.

There are two teams that are vulnerable that I can overtake if I play the right style of BB going forward. Right now, I just want to make the playoffs and get my attendance up.

I've won the two league games since these players joined, and I'm learning how to use them. Now I have to wait for the fans to get used to them so my revenue will increase (attendance at last game before the changes was 69%). If that happens, I will be back to break-even on costs. I have a good size arena (11,000) so no worries there.

I've just never run a team on 8 players before. I'm spending a few weeks focusing on stamina and game shape, and I'm also trying to replace my superior level trainer and doctor with staff that have fitness and massage as specialties. Doing that at a decent price is frustrating. Prices go up to unbelievable levels. Thanks for the questions.
