Questions if inside isolation actually useful now, probably not... (119287415)

To say Inside Isolation got a boost, I would have thought I would have won this game more comfortably based on team ratings. I know I was away but all my ratings were better and yet I needed to hit 4 3's in the last minute to send it to overtime (pretty mental finish!). Similar fouls/free throws ands similar rebounding figures so just pure scoring I should have been better than my opponent surely?

Why is everyone posting one game they thought they should have won and claiming that it means there was most likely no significant buff to the offense. Maybe you don't have the right team composition for it? There's an element of randomness to each game so maybe this game was just on the more unlucky side?

I think it will require much more in depth analysis and really the best way is for the BBs to test different team compositions in simulations to make sure each offense is at least viable situationally.

What I'm saying is to bring more than a game or two as evidence. Outliers exist. Team ratings, DMI, salaries are only part of what matters in the game.

BO Best offense in BB confirmed !!
True that, BO rulezzz!


Now seriously - it has been said before but still - the main issue with tactics is the double bonus.

When one plays inside, one gets a bonus to inside scoring and a lot more inside shots. When one plays outside, one gets a bonus to outside scoring and a lot more outside shots. This double bonus is the main reason behind balanced tactics being way inferior.

The issue will not be fixed in the game engine imo, so we need to accept it as it is. GDP was something that helped a little, now those intended changes could be another small step in the right direction. The underlying cause still stands though.

If it was to be fixed though, I believe it would be much fairer (causing a lot more tactical diversity and balance too) to have a small penalty (like 5-10%) to the chosen type of offense (inside/outside) balancing out the advantage of taking a lot more shots of the chosen type.

BBB: 2 (S37 S38); Top tier: 7 (S35 S36 S37 S38 S39 S41 S63); Cup: 9 (S25 S35 S36 S37 S38 S39 S40 S41 S61)

...this need to be carefully considered.

It's not necessarily the tacitcs themselves that are causing these win percentages. The behaviour that goes with them is too large of a variable to make any changes without getting further data and having few variables.

Unless there is something known about the GE that we don't know.
