also if you want to see someone who decided to take a different route - (30851) was in this division (i think), tanked, and decided make players that only shot three pointers by training JR. Now he is ranked in the top fifty and basically only has shooting guards and centers that rebound. I believed he posted his strategy in a federation post.


I wouldn't trust that dude, he slept with my wife.

Oh.

It's not quite that - I trained a crapload of JR and SB on my "guards", before putting in some OD eventually. The big men are going to be SB+ID+RB donkeys, though the ones I didn't draft have decent starting points for JR, PA and OD if I ever decide to train that.

Did you see any gains from doing SB? I have not. What kind of JR are you putting to see that kind 3 point shooting? I would guess your guards would have high JS but low DR.

Well, the two guys that I didn't draft are consistently in the top 5 of the league both in made 3s and in shots blocked. Somehow my team is also giving up the fewest points in the league despite always having a second-season trainee playing in the C position for 48 minutes. All three of the guards are in the 16-17 JS, 18 or just below JR, and between 9 and 11 DR. The two foreign guards are both at 15 SB, one with 13 ID and one with 11.

That's really interesting. I love the idea of doing something out of the box, although you seem to have set yourself up for perpetual frustration with the GE's hatred of all outside offenses.

What do you shoot for on OD, PA, and SB with your guards? What kind of builds are you aiming for with your post trainees?

I would have liked more OD. They're all at 15 OD, and getting there was a slog because it took so freaking long to get the JR and then the SB. They're at like 8, 6 and 3 passing, and that was because my draftee started at 1 PA as well as I think 1 SB. One of these times I'm going to learn to not keep a draftee and actually buy all three trainees, but I always seem to value the idea of keeping one of them if they're close to what I'm doing. So that's the starting three guards. My backup guards are all highish JR guys but with less JS by far (one's 8 JS/19 JR) and 14 or higher OD.

I still waver on the bigs. Half the time I'm thinking I'm going to just say screw anything but ID/SB/RB and take those as far as possible, with maybe 16 or 17 RB and the other two hopefully into the 20s. Sometimes I think I may instead try to get some JS and JR on them since big men tend to shoot much better from outside than they should, at least, they did with my princeton-focused team before I finally aged them out and started the rebuild that brought me here ever so briefly. I'm still debating whether or not I'm going to bother trying to put more OD on them, too - here again, I have coincidentally 8, 6 and 3 (like the guards' passing), and again it's the draftee at 3 (though at least there was no training).

At this point, yeah, the frustration is real. My team shoots better from 3 than from 2, by design and statistically it holds up. But the engine doesn't care - I think I've literally had games where I've made more threes than twos, but they still won't shoot more shots from three to compensate.

Exciting TV game last night, with the Springs hosting the Super Sonics. Charlie Fortune was hot from beyond the arc, making 8 of 12 attempts and 62% overall from the field! The game came down to the wire with a clutch 4th quarter performance from Felipe Urbano, who iced the Sonics' 3-point barrage with a pair of midrange jimbos and put up 22p/5a in 40 minutes. Here's the final minute recap of the match.

Why not let the guy with hot hand shoot, but instead give my PF and C the ball.

Good luck in this series man! Considering you won our regular season matchup, I'd definitely say you're the favorite, but I'm hoping for a tightly contested series!

Thanks, good luck to you too. I don't think my team has much left in it, but its great after all these many season to finally be in the finals for this division. I see this as a three game series with you winning it.
