No, The original poster said that LI has only been dominant for 10 seasons which is a lie. And outside O was dominant for 10 seasons which is way too long. I know this because I was one of the only outside teams in Japan(back when we had 50 users).

This was my last game ever running an outside O in a big game. I blew up my team and started a LI team. CUP FINAL heartbreak and the fact that I got tired of Sharman talking crap on the forums.

If my memory serves me correctly, Sharman said that the season 10 final between him and BC Hostivař was a PTB agreement. I don't know if that is 100% true, but that is what he said in the game chat.

Hey, I am not trying to be a dick but your numbers from your original post are WRONG!!
here they are again.
RNG had about a 10-season dominant era
LI had about a 10-season dominant era
we are only in season 36...would you like changes to happen after season 100? is that enough time?

It was more like a mix of motion/PTB/R&G/LI was used for the first 12 seasons. Then it has been that all big must win games have been LI battles(unless one team wants to lose) for the past 24 seasons. Those are the facts!! Like them are not!!

Yeah in the first 12 seasons a lot of finals were played using different tactics, it was almost never LI vs LI and I haven't seen a single R&G vs R&G. The European championships were more varied than the World championships, but inside tactics were still represented.

That game should be looked into: looks like +22 bbstats for the losing team, +1 average rating among the players and -20 efficiency!!?? For some reason also 21 three pointers while playing LI. 8}

The home team played LI, his Cs had a combined 139.4 PP100 but they shot a measly 13 times (lowest shots by position including fouls). The same goes with the PF position, 129.4 PP100 but a lot fewer shots than the SG and the SF position???

On the other side: PF 106.4 PP100, shot 75% TS%; SG 104.7 PP100 shot 70% TS%; SF 113.4 PP100 shot 66% TS. Not even Curry, Redick and KD put up that kind of shooting efficiency.

Somebody should really start a petition to get LI removed from the game. Maybe for one season only or so, to see what happens.

There was a team in Japan who actually suggested this in season 20, and he was torched on the forums for suggesting it. He just wanted to see how many other O's people would start using if LI wasn't an option.

I guess that LI addicts would start playing LP, making it a dominant tactic. Managers, who were able to find smart alternatives to LI, use them even without such a threat.

The problem is that folks are trying to be the first team to win using outside tactics, instead of creating the first team to shut down inside defensively. Of course inside offenses is the way to go if everyone is keeping a high OD, low blocking team; if the game engine still has outside offense winning against that, then it'll be imbalanced when the shift happens the other way. Once there are enough teams that are defensively capable to defend against LI (which I think is now possible in today's game), that's when we'll see more varied offenses that make more sense to build around. I'm working to speed up when my team will be ready just to see a team that can shut down inside offenses completely.
