Well, I think you are complaining about what the GDP feature is trying to acomplish. I guess it's working

I'm telling that this basketball simulation might turn out into rock, scissors, paper game

Most people was complaining about only 1 tactic been used, so I think it's more like the other way around. The rule is the same for everybody, so you just need to be less predictable.
Remember, you dont need to use the GDP every game.

I know. But then my opponents will use every game, against me .

My team is really affected with this GDP. It iìs because my only 2nd season. I dont have enough funds to buy versatile players, I really mean players that can play either outside or inside, fast or slow pace. I'm also like other's who use only 1 tactic, it's because it is the most appropriate tactic base on characteristic of my team. But with this new rule, I can't do this anymore. Every game, I have to plan what tactics must I used, and it must be unpredictable. For other teams who have enough funds, they can live with this. But for newbies?

I'm also planning in future that my team may develop into typical european/asian team, that can play efficient run and gun game. But with this new rule, I must change my plan. I must now build a team of versatile players, that can play outside and inside. This is even more expensive. Would you imagine how much would cost a center who has a prolific jumpshot? or a shooting guard with a tremendous inside shot?? I really can't immagine!?

The issue here is GUESSING/PREDICTION. If you get it right, you win the game. Another thing, if your opponent is wrong, you also win the game. This GDP may turn the basketball simulation to a guessing game.

I agree with that. It makes available points scored deviation much much greated between the same teams than used to be. So now the team who had no chances even theoreticly to win before now has some not too slim chances. It basicly makes some free wins for weaker teams and some unexpected loses for stronger teams.

Not only that. this GDP might be the deciding factor between two equal teams. What may be predictied to be a close ballgame would become a one sided massacre if he guess it right, and the other way around if he guess it wrong.

To begin with, it is a bonus tactical option

But the bonus you get is way higher if your prediction is right. For 2 equal teams, with right gdp, he can win it one-sided, around 25+ winning margin. And this is because of GDP.

That's funny because I have been around much longer and I cant affort those players. You should see change as an oportunity. Try to take advantage from it.
By the way, as a free advice, if you are in your second season, you should be more concerned about training and not about buying.
