All right, well count me in with the camp that would call this a bug. A defensive tactic should affect defensive rebounding only.

I wouldn't call it a bug if it's designed that way intentionally.

A design flaw? Perhaps.

(I know it's probably semantics but there is a distinction)

If it is intentional, I'd suggest some clarity in the rules about the defensive tactic choice really being a defense+rebounding tactic.

But, really, I think it's a clear bug/flaw/mistake. Offensive tactics should have an impact on offensive rebounding, e.g. Run and Gun should have a negative OR impact. And this should be reflected in the description of offensive tactics in the rules.

The design is that it impacts defensive rebounding but does not impact offensive rebounding (and in the game engine the two are calculated differently, so despite their sounding similar, it takes some creativity to make this mistake the way our engine is written). I'll check if we made that mistake and let you know if we did. I like the idea that offensive tactics impact offensive rebounding as well. It is likely too late for us to make that change for this update (it's easy to code, but we need to do a lot of testing to ensure it's properly balanced) but that's something you'll probably see in the offseason update.


Thanks for the clarification - I can cease rambling like a moron.

Thanks. I really appreciate that you took the time to clarify the issue :)

I also agree that the offensive tactic should influence the offensive rebounding.
I am looking forward to seeing the new implementations in the game engine.
