Just saying this GE is a joke.
I thought a lot how to beat Look inside and what kind of players do you need in order to play different tactics. I still think it's not GE's fault, but player's "fault" if I can say that. BB's gave us a choice and it's up to us with what to play, isn't it?
I guess for any offense to work, you need specialized players. If you want to play LI, your bigs need IS - a lot of it. But in order for your big to be able to play LI and defend LI, you need also a lot of RB, a lot of ID and some SB. So what do you get? Probably a Jerry Wiszniewski
And then everybody complain how it is impossible to have a roster of 1.5 million...
By that logic, it's inadvasible to have bigs to play and defend LI. Isn't then better to have a team where offense and defense aren't both inside (or both outside)? What if you build two bigs for PF and C with 20 ID, 18 RB, 15 SB and 12 IS? They wouldn't score a lot, but that's why you don't run LI
We also know that the best defensive tactic against LI is not ID on your bigs, but OD on your back court to prevent passes in the first place. Because once his PG/SG makes a good pass to his big, it's very hard to stop the attack without foul.
And we also know PA is undertrained. You'd say: if someone makes a PG and SG with PA=20, then LI will be even more unstoppable! But do you know how expensive would that team be? A PG with no shooting capabilities and OD20, PA20 has 300k+ salary. So...
PG: 300k
SG: 300k
SF: 150k
PF: 300K
C: 400k
So 1.150.000 just for starting five...I don't think there's a lot of teams that can afford this even for one season.
Bottom line: Build your players according to one or mostly two tactics you will play. I don't understand teams that want to be able to play 4-5 different tactics just by moving their players between positions. Players need to be SPECIALIZED! We've all seen what do players need for LI in order to work. But we haven't tried anything else and we are calling GE a joke??
