I can comment and say my opinion about that like all other managers.

And I think that would be unnecessary and bad to remove Patient.

This is where we hold them!

You must remember how it all happened.
Patient wasn't so popular before BB added defensive switch, enabling managers to play guards as C and have them defend their native positions...

Patient as a tactic is fine. playing slowly until you find the best match-up is fair, reasonable and realistic. But it seems that patient tactic (That was around before managers were able to make defensive switches) became ridicules since the D change.

I personally think it's a side effect no one thought of when implemented defensive switch and as such it must be fixed.

I think the Zone - m2m disadvantage is too high. I doubt that the dogma "m2m is the best" is best for the game.

Well you now take this thread to a whole other place. I for one think that updating D in game engine should be a high priority task. Current situation were 2-3 zone doesn't work as it did in the past and "Box and one" is not really clear must change.

But as I said that's an other discussion.

As for patient. I agree with Wolph. As I said before, it's a fine tactic and shouldn't be removed but something must be done. Current situation is just managers taking advantage of a side effect created by BB.

I can easly agree with your opinion.
Something has to be done to solve the patient tactic problem.

I hope a discussion about this can lead to something good for BB.
That's why i created this thread, so that we all could say what we think about it.

Actually I don´t see the patient problem as big. There´s very few true upsets, even if you play a SG on the C spot. The better -team- still wins in most cases, won´t it?

"The better team"
What's that?

SG as C with Patient can change games complacently. The favorite team can and should lose games in case the other team out play them in terms of tactic - BB should make sure that it happen (Unless where's the fun..??) but patient with SG as C is just taking it to far for my opinion...
