As for the rebounds it was pretty close between the games.

In the league game the offensive rebound rate was:

Collossus - 33%
XSteppers - 28%

For the playoff game:

Collossus - 34%
Xsteppers - 25%

Really pretty close over all and not much you can take from that. On top of this the current rebounding system is kind of random and is being overhauled for next season. The main point here is your didnt get killed on the boards as a result of the change in defense, but you did get your opponents matchup ratings way down and put your team in a better position to win.

Thanks for elaborating.

The team ratings, you were right. They are obvious and that's how I had been "scouting" my opponents in the past. The points per 100 shots, I was treating as fluff and inconsequetional. Good to know it actually has meaning.

So the question I'm always asking myself, is it better, in general, to go with a tactics that improves and emphases a particular mode (either inside or outside) or better to go with a neutral tactics for fear of being caught going up against the "right" defense.

I think in general I've been pretty conservative and tried to balance my offensive and defensive selections to flatten out my ratings, but then again, I'm still down in series II. :-(

But you got a nice chance to go to the NBBA... :)
I'm also in favor of a well balanced attack, but sometimes it's something hard to achieve, you got to make yourself strong in one aspect of the game and then improve the other one, and unfortunately that takes a lot of time.

My teams should be called the bridesmaids...we've finished second so many times. :-(

However, if you look at what brianjames is doing is easy to see the limits of this perspective. He has chosen his players with an eye to a lot of important little things (e.g. big man skills on outside players and viceversa). I don't think he necessarily has the best players in the NBBA, but he certainly has the best group of players and can win a lot of hard games by running something as simple as a Base Offense/MTM and win most matches.

Good luck on your final series.


It seems like having big man skills for perimeter players and vice versa, would help you when playing offensive tactics weighted to either the outside or inside, not playing Base Offense (neutral offensive tactics).
