I know that my starters is overplaying now, coz i am still in the national tournament, i also did not expect to make that far. I don't have other reliable players to substitute for them. And I badly need funds, winning a national game can also gain some funds.

To be honest, I only want my team, to play in their true strength, but with this GDP, playing in your true strength will suffer penalty of having your tactics being predicted. If there is an issue against the "LI", they should fixed the game engine. or improve other offensive and defensive tactics. But what they did is using GDP, it's just like putting a band-aid against a wound infection instead of curing the wound infection itself. Well it's ok, just play with this.

you have a point, if he always use LI, then you dont have to guess what will you put in the GDP. but in the long run, if he decides to still continue playing this buzzerbeater, he will surely wont continue to play LI or else he is always in disadvantage. In the long run, other's will continue to try to think what will they put probably in gdp. Teams will try to risk and have educated guess with gdp, and will also try their best to be unpredictable. While other's won't risk guessing the gdp. So that is how the future of the buzzerbeater will be, with the GDP.

Base on your coaching, you did not also predict, but you try something to counter his strategy. you use something like 2-3 zone def, etc. but with GDP you just try to think what is his focus and phase of game, and then nothing more. If you got it right, you got the bonus.that is what i am pointing out. they create this GDP, maybe because of the dominance of LI. But we can also adjust our defense here. we even have an option wherein the players can play different position in the defensive phase of the game. we still lack other options like double teaming, trapping, etc. Well it's only my second season, so i barely know this LI issue. in my last tournament, the most use is the base offense. And i don't use the LI, i only used push the ball.

I only think GDP is not right for the game. It forces team to play other offensive tactics even if it's not appropriate for the team or the will suffer the penalty of playing their primary team tactics.

I just looked in the BB champs and world tournament. LI is the most used tactic, almost 99% used it. But I dont think its LI that makes winning the game. It will still depend on the strength of the team.

If you have equal weekly salary and one team play li and another play rng with players suits to these tactics, what do you think, which win most of matches beetween their?

I answer - this team which is build for li. I hate it, but in iii legue where we use 50k players maybe it is possible. But in first not, because of cheap is for guards and too big cost of jr for example.

I know. But then my opponents will use every game, against me .

My team is really affected with this GDP. It iìs because my only 2nd season. I dont have enough funds to buy versatile players, I really mean players that can play either outside or inside, fast or slow pace. I'm also like other's who use only 1 tactic, it's because it is the most appropriate tactic base on characteristic of my team. But with this new rule, I can't do this anymore. Every game, I have to plan what tactics must I used, and it must be unpredictable. For other teams who have enough funds, they can live with this. But for newbies?

I'm also planning in future that my team may develop into typical european/asian team, that can play efficient run and gun game. But with this new rule, I must change my plan. I must now build a team of versatile players, that can play outside and inside. This is even more expensive. Would you imagine how much would cost a center who has a prolific jumpshot? or a shooting guard with a tremendous inside shot?? I really can't immagine!?


I highly recommend mixing it up here and there, even though your strongest offense is PTB.
Sure, you may be worse in the other offense, but if you opponents will always pick GDP on PTB, then you'll have an advantage using the alternate offense. Then, when you come back to using PTB, your opponents may not guess at all, since you're unpredictable, and also, if they guess wrong when you're using PTB, you'll really have an advantage.

maybe if they are playing both man to man defense, the LI would win. I stil dont know, but maybe there's a chance if you dont play in the phase of LI. Maybe instead of RNG,try Lowpost, inside isolation, or princeton, or patient. use 2-3 zone defense. at least all 5 players have good inside defense, good shot blocking, good rebounding. maybe there might be a chance if you have a good densive team.

If you think you are at a disadvantage because of GDP it may be slightly true. i am also a fairly new user too but i love the GDP feature it allows me to have a better chance in winning tougher games. try playing two totally opposite offenses so they will never be able to guess you. (Run n gun, patient).
The reason you may be loosing your games is probably not because of GDP. It probably because of you (very) bad Game shape.

I like the GDP because it not only ends LI domination, but it ends the chance of any single tactic being played by almost every team.
