If I am using my starters even in national cups, its because of financial reasons, need to earn more. But the next national cup, I'll let them rest. there is no chance of winning in the next round.

As I said before, I am losing interest because of GDP, I cannot let my team play to their true offense anymore or playing to their true strength will only be penalyzed with GDP. I assemble my team base on the offense I'm always using, and with this GDP, all I did before turns out to be futile.

I also understand the almost everone (maybe 99%) welcome this GDP. But I cant really accept it. I dont expect that this GDP will be removed just because for the few that are not in favor. I just want you to hear my voice, maybe the GMs are reading this. I just want them to let them know my reasons. I think it's okay for me to do this, I am a supporter.

If you are talking about challenges, what about the challenge of overcoming the "Look Inside" strategy????

Again, if the "LI" have become a very powerful tactic, that other tactics and defensive strategy are useless against them, why not fix these problem instead of introducing the GDP???? You guys only think that the solution for "LI Dominance" is through avoiding the "LI."

Unfair for other teams who can only use 1 mode of offense.

We already had zone defenses that are geared toward specific tactics, but I didn't see you complaning. 3-2 completely annihilates Motion and R&G, so what didn't you complain about that?

I only complain against GDP. With GDP, you cannot play anymore your preferred offensive strategy without having penalty.

So you are saying that if your preferred offensive strategy was Motion or R&G, you could play them before GDP, but not after?

I can still play them but with the penalty or bonus against enemy. I will depend on the player, if he doesn't want to be predicted or if he doesn't want the GDP to be used against him.

First of all, I am not telling the GDP is useless. I am just sharing my own opinion. GDP is not good for this game, its my own point of view. It gives unjust penalty for me just because I want my team to play according to my own choice of offense.

First of all, it's not that I enjoy playing the same offense, all over and over again. It's just a question of mastery. In real basketball its take a lot of time to practice, learn, a type of offense, whether its motion, inside, low-post, etc. It takes a lot of time, to assemble a good versatile team. Maybe you already have a good versatile team, you have a team that can play good on outside and inside. Well my team is not like that. Even in real basketball, you cannot see a team that today they play low-post, and then the next game, they will play run and gun because the next opponent may predict that we are playing low-post, we will be at disadvantage. Phil Jackson has led the chicago bulls to the 6 NBA title not by using different offensive tactics every game.

If there's a problem with the LI wherein it becomes the most used, why not fix it? Now, even the non-LI users are also affected. why not play the normal simulation, where gamers try to counter the LI offense with 2-3 zone, or other defensive means? There are still other defensive tactics that are not included in buzzerbeater like half court trap, half court press, etc. Instead they implement GDP... Making gamers think twice using LI or play LI with penalty.

Like I said before, I dont expect something like change, like they remove GDP. I am just sharing what I think is not right. I think I have the right to share opinion as a gamer and a supporter. I only want to voice out my reasons.

You should really dig into the game a bit deeper. Work on your GS like someone suggested earlier and don't give up. It's easy to blame it on GDP, but it's really silly to be blaming it on one thing (especially GDP). All it shows is that you are pretty new to this game with still a lot to learn. And really, if you do that... you'll find out how fast you can climb.

I agree with others, you just need to learn to play the game properly, that's it. Stick around, you'll figure it out soon.

Check the game I previously posted, I won despite my opponent used the GDP, had twice my salaries. First of all, game shape. Players get tired if they play too much minutes. You need to limit them to 48-66 mins. It's actually one of the fun aspects of the game, you have 3 games, so you need to decide in which ones to play which players.

My team is not like other teams, this game, i use push the ball, then the next game I will use run n gun, then the next game I use princeton, then next game low post. My team is not even versatile. With GDP, teams are force to play various offense or else they will be predictable to opponents. With GDP, I cannot play like I am playing before.

Well for you guys, have fun with the GDP.
