hopefully the game engine keeps in mind the impact of point differential (though i doubt that it does), but this would only matter for teams right on the bubble and maybe the teams fighting for a better playoff seeding though it doesn't really matter since there are only 4 teams a side. if this was a general option it would just be poor sportsmanship.


I like the idea, and if someone wants to win by 50 instead of 30 and screw their training, so be it.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Do you really want your star out on the court running up the score with players like this (791676) on the other team?

actually the game engine doesn't keep that in mind ;)

I had a race with two other team with pretty similiar points and baskets for the places four to six, at the last game day and my coach sorted out my first team with just +20 after the first quarter to let the backups play.

You can not blame your coach for a choice that is yours. you decided to activate the option "let the coach decide". otherwise if you ask your coach to stricly stick to your choice, even with a big lead your top players will stay on the court.
For me it is a false problem.

my coach didn't do that, even with strictly follow deph chart he will bring the second lineup with a high lead.

And this changng tactic leads to curious decisions, so i making my lineup for the game this evening optimized for a high loss becuase i don't want to risk that my coach takes my trainees out of the game - and in my scrimmage it is the same procedere.

You can allways try and register only 8 player give or take to the game . . .

I do it a lot in my scrimming (I was didn't want to risk any of the stars)

One time my couch gave a "lucky fan" some minutes !

yeah, but if i register 8 players and it comes to a blow out, sometimes the starters without backup get replaced ... if i play with 8 players and loose that happens only if they are in foul trouble.

The idea when you want to win by a huge difference in order to improve your point average is also to win the game...

If you have only 8 players registered you simply make them play more (have the Lucky fan appear even) that won;t help you get a big difference, and might even make you lose a game that you would otherwhise have won.
