You're right, im a complete beginner and have yet to prove that i grasp the basics of the game. yikes

Clearly! You've never even won a title in IV.

Please delete curse words from your post. I am not trying to get folks in trouble...@GMs I'm not offended so don't punish no one....

I refuse to pull "dick" out of the post, i inserted it there as it fit so well. i like you wolph, but you were patronizing me in the prior posts.

anyway...

You keep saying that high IS is necessary for LI bigs, but in my experience is it is not.

i didnt say necessary. you can have low IS and suck, thats your call. i agree that other skills are important, you wont find a big on my team with low JS, PA, DR. Doesnt change the fact that IS is the meat and potatoes at PF/C for LI teams. Top 5 true shooting % bigs in the NBBA have 17-19 IS. JS? middling to decent, no more than 9.

So, back to the original point, outside bigs only need a base of ID, Reb (at a standout level for the league) to be effective. Low IS just means more salary to use for other skills. Obviously, more gaurd skills is good, but you get what you can afford to build/buy. Oh right, you can't buy these players on the TL as they dont exist outside of a few rarities from time to time. So instead SB will be boosted in an attempt to offset the lack of players that *could* be built and used effectively. Seems like a bad idea.

1.Its should work . and sometime it does work.
2. 3-2 zone is sf swinging zone . some see it 3 players at the top to stop out side shots.. which true. but when persons drive the sf I guy in the middle to stop the passes. 3-2 turns to 2-1-2 in most cases when it in play.. This games even does that..

3.BB

4. theory and watching games.. I have had a few games where 3-2 has turned to 2-1-2 zone. which is the sf swings in the middle.

On here 2-3 is kind of poor. because it shifting defensive to the pg and sg with this Li just destroyes 2-3 . there is none to stop driver and pass to outside or the post if big man has passing because when ball move the defense moves which mean a slaughter. 3-2 on the other hand if breaks it turn 2-1-2 which to sg or sf getting a lot steals sonetimes the pg as well.. I dontknow about Sb// but with the player trapped its will happen or a turn over.

My back up sf and sg have sb 6-7 it not costing me much.. I cant say for your league and those above mines

wha number would they need inthose areas to high salary.? 10- 11- 9 in those areas.? or 13-15- 15

If this question was posted earlier, I am sorry, I am not in the mood to go read a bunch of rants. They are attempting to make SB worth training, and earlier people were talking about the number of blocked shots. Are we sure that the blocked shots won't increase but shooting percent will stay the same? An altered shot is usually just as good in the NBA as a blocked shot. Granted that flys in the face of it being "worth training" but the number of blocked shots is irrelevant if they were going to miss the shot in the first place, right? So shouldn't field goal percentage is what we should be looking at, or more so inside field goal percentage? I figure this has been brought up before but just thought I'd float it out there if it hasn't.

I think its to fine the defense's and zone in the correct manner to the players skills and defensive strengths..

In a zone with a very strong team a post team (LI) has little chance . it turn the LI team to jump shooting team and big men wont have those skills so it really a bust to play LI vs a strong zone defense or what ever defense with the right strength and players..

..

well said......You have 7 cups and 5 NBBA trophies....I think when it comes to WHO to listen to for advice, it is pretty simple.
Back on topic. I kind of agree...I still like my highest IS to be on my SF(15) and PF(18)...and I refuse to have anything lower than a 7 on my PG/SG. I am still on the fence with SB. I still think 8-12 will do the trick.
Now I think you would love my C
JS 5 JR 5
OD 7 HD 7
DR 8 Pass 6
IS 13 ID 17
REB 19 SB 10
