And that's why the question I asked last Wednesday was whether the "small change" was part of a longer term plan or not...because a clear "no" answer to this question would have closed any speculation and we wouldn't even be discussing this.

Never expect an honest answer again, since this is backpeddling on what was said in the ask BBs thread.

I just reread all of Marin's posts in that thread and nowhere did he say that any of the tweaks he made for JS were this season. Whether the tweaking and unannounced nature of it is wise is a matter of opinion, but I don't see an avenue for considering it a dishonest answer - just one that wasn't explicit and where you filled in the gaps inaccurately.

(One BB in the past literally altered the skills of his own players directly).

Woooow, I mean.... This guy was exposed and removed in a very short time.... Just wooooowwwwww..... Anything for a good reach, ha? This happened years ago too....

The Nba example is something I was thinking about, how you have to adjust your game for the post-season (watching to the Chicago-Cleveland series officiating been so different from the regular season is even confusing) or how they are going to change the hack-a-shaq because it's not good for the audience. But I don't think BB is targeting anyone in particular. They have an idea of where the game should be heading (less tanking, more rounded players, a bit more effective outside offence, etc) and we need to adjust to that. BB is a very slow game, so we have plenty of time to do it.
Marin said they don´t want to tell us every small change, so as far as the game doesn't turn into a pay-to-win, same rules apply to all of us, I am fine with it, whether I like it or not.

I think maybe going forward the BBs are planning only slowly manipulating the GE practically every season, with little to no notification in order to make sure that nobody can create a winning formula, since by nature what it takes to win will constantly be changing.

You're being overly dramatic. Nothing earthquake-y is going on, they are just making small changes to try to improve the game. It's not going to turn teams up down.

I play a soccer manager game, it's economy is pretty unstable, and game creators keep making changes every season, which is really messy.

Compared to that, BB is rock solid. Yes, there has been inflation lately, but it will calm down over time, and it's going in a certain direction, it's not changing directions every now and then.

I don't agree with trainer man post. I agree with his principal though.. If your tweeking something that goes to the skill of the players on the game. Minor or major it changes the players you have and game outcomes. BB has the right to say nothing, my feeling is this.

We don't know, if it up or down this minor tweek.

Imo jr/js and od should be hardest thing to get on the game. But os tactical players are to damn expensive to keep long term. Any person who is worth their salt in knowing basketball know getting a decent jumpshot is hard, and also outside defense is hardest aspect in basketball to attain and to able to defend the js/ 3pt line. This is why having a driver style player is important in real life.. But in BB he useless. pump up Id /od he does nothing. forcing you to play 1 way with your team and that inside . Golden state warriors are jump shot shooting team very expensive in the guard area just like BB, Memphis Grizzles hav a hard , very good defense Maybe best in the nba , they just getting destroyed from the 3pt line and in jumpshot.

They should make Od harder and more expensive to get, just like they do with os guards and tactics.

We don't know, if it up or down this minor tweek.

We also don't know if it's a balance tweak or a bug fix. For example, if I wanted to hazard a completely unsubstantiated guess, based on the differences in shooting percentages for many of my players from Season 28 to Season 29, I wouldn't at all disbelieve that it could have been a bug fix, which changed "open" shots from being more difficult based on the OD of the man defending the player to a flatter difficulty level, maybe based on the team OD. OF course, that would be a wild guess, but I saw guards and even backup guards shoot a lot better for me from three last season, while my big men shot a lot worse, and a lot of that seemed anecdotally to be a shift in how they hit "open" shots. Or it could have been a change in the weight of SB vs. OD in defending threes, or a tiny shift in a factor that determines how quickly a shot's difficulty increases from range.

But in BB he useless. pump up Id /od he does nothing. forcing you to play 1 way with your team and that inside .

I wouldn't say you're forced to play inside. It's certainly the easier path in the current environment, but it's not like the game implemented mandatory google autocorrect when setting a lineup, where I would choose Motion and the page would spit back "Did you mean Low Post?" and refuse to save.
