My enthusiasm is currently 8. I Normal'd last game to my opponent who TIEd it, so he has a bit more. We will meet in Conference finals. Until then both of us will play TIE.

With same enthusiasm and effort, my team is a bit better. Add his HCA and the game is probably 50/50. He doesn't manage minutes perfectly though so I may have a slight edge here.

He will play the last game of the season TIE, I'm 99% sure of that. He played Normal'd just two games against me and other 18 of the season he TIEd.

No, I don't have experience with blank lineup. Maybe I will try it and just train stamina or try rebounding if minutes will be in my favor. Didn't know blank lineup prevents garbage time on blowout, thanks! So I dress up players I want them to play, but leave them all on bench and choose "Let coach decide"?

Uhm...look at this minute distribution.


Pekka Grönfors 38 15 6 4 7 6 proficient
Rãzvan Paraipan 35 18 3 7 3 3 respectable
Leon Bator 32 4 8 5 10 5 proficient
Julian Konowrocki 31 5 4 9 13 strong
Mario Melucci 28 2 15 5 3 4 proficient
Enzo Marconi 27 3 2 7 11 4 proficient
Stellan Gottsjö 25 4 5 5 3 8 strong
Mitchell Loonie Generoso 24 2 3 12 2 5 proficient

Paraipan, who is a PF with Pitiful PA, spent 18 minutes on PG...what?
I ended up winning by 51 point margin, but it wasn't enough as I needed to win for 59 to surpass my first place opponent. If I played normal, I probably could do it. But no matter, I will see now if higher enthusiasm can do it. Thanks!

i am pretty sure you played strictly follow instead of coach decide, cause in this case he makes silly decisions

Damn...you know what? I did. I made that mistake. The minutes are all over the place now

I'll try to test this tactic more in PL games. But as some others already said, if "blank lineup" is the best setting for a game, then why are we still playing? We can't outsmart a computer?

i said it in the B3 thread, it depends also on your team. LCD with Blank lineup isn't superior, for everyone in every situation. I like it, but you don't need to use it and the coach have some weird priorities which makes you vulnerable in some way.

A big plus for destroying an opponent, for a team with a gap betwen first and second string is that the blowout rules aren't followed so that i recommend it here.

My feeling is that LCD with a blank lineup will not let you play to the opponent's weaknesses. The GE only looks at your players and fits them in so as to maximize your own metric. When I did it, it put my $140k C at SF, which may or may not be right.

Sadly, I didn't make it: (45815153). I would probably pull a win if I played M2M defense. HCA played a huge factor. I didn't get outrebounded in a single league game this season while playing 3-2 in every game. At least I learned something from it

3-2 isn't a good choiche against, inside attacks especially when you don't want to hide an bad isnide defensiv SF at the perimeter. And i think your SF-PF can defend insde?
