No, SplitJ, I do not wish to see 100,000 people play the game the same way.

However, just like any game, even real life, live action basketball, there tends to be accepted ways and strategies as to how to best win.

As this game does a good job of showing, there are really on 5-6 basic offenses and defenses in basketball, so, actually
a whole lot of people are playing it the same way.

Perhaps, I made my original post cover too broad of an area. What I mainly had in mind was more like:

"Is there a thread or something somewhere that gives more information on training strategy than the game manual does?"

When you start a new game and you see all sorts of unfamiliar terms and acronyms, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to ask if there is anything that defines and expands on such things as "2 Position Training" or "TIE" (although I must admit, Captain Obvious eventually showed up for the second example).

Also, I'm not trying to be a whiner, and will gladly read through the whole forum if need be, but, in all seriousness,
instead of doing all that, don't you think it makes just a tad more sense, to ask about it first?

Burninators, I apologize for my snide remarks. I wish I could offer a better explanation other than I was just being a touchy little bitch, but I can't.

read the game manual obviously. and accesses what your team is suited to playing. pretty much everything is covered in this manual. and 2 position training etc etc. are in the forum if you just look for it.

Hey SplitJ. have you actually read anything past my original post?

I read the manual.....several times.

And, actually did you even read the original post in it's entirety?


gives someone step by step (relatively, anyway) advice on what to do?

These forums do not appear very search-friendly and, while it does not appear impossible,
picking up on things is very piecemeal, at best.


You do understand what the word relative means don't you, in the context of the first post, at least?

Also, I would tend to think that the sentence quoted above that mentions "these forums", acknowledges the
fact that all this stuff can be found in the forums, but the forums themselves are not all that search-friendly,

om·pen·di·um (km-pnd-m)
n. pl. com·pen·di·ums or com·pen·di·a (-d-)
1. A short, complete summary; an abstract.
2. A list or collection of various items.


I believe that's what I was asking about. In some games, some with way more than, geez,
100000 people playing, some of those that play have went and made one or more of these
compendium type things.

In my last post, I stated that I have no problem with going thru the entire forums, if need be.
However, I fail to see how asking if something of the nature of a compendium exists, is somehow wrong or whatever
character failing you seem to think I have.

Please don't reply by telling me for the third time to read the game manual.

JMDCeltics: Thank you. Between having a wife who was a French major, living in the American southwest for several years and what I can remember from high school Latin, I actually got quite a bit out of that link. :)

Go to the "Important threads" post on this forum and read through it. Also just play the game and you will pick it up over time. It's like real basketball: the best way to learn it is to just play.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I know it´s easier to translate the guide of introbb.com into english than make everybody learn spanish, anyway it´s a very nice site to learn about BB.

JMDCeltics:

I was not being sarcastic in my last note thrown your way

I found the site very helpful

Also, if you run Firefox, there is an extension called Hyperwords that will sort of translate
entire pages into something resembling English. That is, it will put up something close enough
that you can figure out the gist of what is being said.
