The number of attempts should go down, but not the percentage. Percentages don't lie. Season's worth of data. Just look. The sim is a hoax. It doesn't matter what you choose. You can have the best player in the league on the inside, and your outside shooters percentage will go down with an inside focus.

This game is joke. There is no skill involved--just a couple of button clicks. If you were playing a live action game you would pass it to your own player that is infinitely better than the opposition.

What it comes down to is that you need to know what is happening in the GE during a game before you start complaining over something.


So what you're saying, then, is it's time to close the forums down? ;)

3 point shooting is already going to be difficult because the levels of Jump Range that players have trained are significantly lower than the levels of OD. When you then shift the focus and tell your team to try to create inside shots, that leaves the low-quality desperation threes at the end of the shot clock or when a player gets stuck with the ball and doesn't have the passing skill to move it somewhere better or the driving skill to take it closer.

But, hey, on the bright side, as long as JR is such an unattractive skill to train and OD is still the end-all, be-all defensive skill, it's not likely to change.

Do you have any idea how many variables should be considered before making such a silly claim?

If your loss in the playoffs is what spurred this, maybe you should look a little deeper at what you caused.

#1 - You were transparent with your offense and he easily guessed your pace and focus. In turn, your team was forced to take bad shots from the outside. A bad shot is a bad shot, no matter how good the person is that is taking it.

#2 - Your opponent had the better all around team, you would have had a better chance to win by playing LP instead of LI. You played into the pace that his team needed to beat you. If you played LP you would have found better shots inside while limiting his fast paced Run and Gun. You clearly had an advantage with your PF and C positions.

#3 - There is skill involved, otherwise you would have won your league with the most dominant player. You could have made the series interesting had you chosen to use your skill and not just some button clicking.

You failed to take advantage of your team strengths and he took full advantage of his. Anytime you are so transparent that your opponent can guess exactly what you are doing than you are in trouble. Next time mix it up a little in the season and in the playoffs and you will have better results. I had a team like yours this year where my team strengths were inside, so I played Push Ball, Look Inside, and LP in different games so that my opponent wouldn't take the chance on guessing. It paid off.


Not being rude, just trying to help.
