If I wanted to play rock-paper-scissors, if I wanted to play a game of pure chance, I would do so instead of playing BuzzerBeater.
Something like that has no place in a game where it takes you multiple years to train players and improve your team.
There's already a lot of chance involved and you could lose a season's effort in one unlucky game, now you're pretty much guaranteed to lose a close game if you guess wrong (wrong tactics+bonus) ?
I don't like it. That's not fun.

You're not forced to guess, you can play the game as it is right now. No bonus / no malus.
This change is aimed to build balanced teams, so they won't play LI the entire season.
Honestly a very well thinking from the BBs.

You have mentioned decrease pf JR and SB influence to player's salary. But how about fullfill of potential? Is influence of JR and SB for potential decreased as well? For NT and top clubs it's very important maybe even much important than salary.

Either the bonus is so big that you're practically forced to guess against anyone whose team isn't clearly inferior or it's so small that you'd ignore it most of the time. I don't see it working well.

Moreover, it also applies to teams that only play an outside game, which isn't nearly as strong as playing look inside only (as I had to realize myself last season), so this change does absolutely nothing against the causes of LI being too strong.
If nothing else changes then we'll still see LI vs LI and both teams with the bonus. Pretty pointless, if you ask me.

Well it somewhat does.
As I said, this change is not made specifically against LI, but it aims to see more balanced teams around. That means: you should not be stuck with 1 strategy only. In this moment, though, the dominante strategy is LI, so the result of this change is that LI will be penalized. Let's say that tomorrow R&G will be the dominant strategy, this new rule will fight against R&G dominance. This is made to avoid a large dominance of 1 tactic (doesn't matter which one) and enforces manager to try different things.
Honestly, I don't see a downside on this change.

I don't like the guess your opponent tactic bonus either. Pick the right defense/offense to beat your opponent is the right thing to do and not have a guess game.
To me it sounds like you have no idea how to balance the tactics and you have to use shortcuts rather than address the problem.

- To more in depth tactics and possibly alter the LI domination, you will be able to guess your opponent strategy, giving you a boost.
.

increase strength 2-3 defense is better

I just got done coaching a team ina tourney, we won two games today and have two tomorrow.

Knowing, guessing and preparing for a teams tactics does in fact happen and help in RL bball. At different levels, different tactics are better. so it can be guessed the most likely, but not 100%...

If you guess wrong and prepare wrong, or they pull out something you rarely see and haven't prepared (like certain zone style..box 1, zone press vs. full press, etc etc....different types of offence.... yo ucan get burned.

I think this new feature adds heaps of realism and a layer of interesting depth to the game play...we shall see as they roll it out though.


for the first time in bb history, i agree with you

When you guess/prepare right you use the right tactics to beat your opponent ? refs don't give you one more player on offense ?
Why give a bonus when a good GE should be enough ? You know your opponent will play LI you use 2-3 defense and you hope your defense will be good enough to stop him. Not pray to have a little bonus to change the game.
