Ha ha. I agree. Why does BB need to log us out all the time? Don't they want to have higher user traffic = moe advertising= more money? Constantly frustrating.

I don't really understand NT enthusiasm but I am told it changes much more slowly than normal enthusiasm so any boost lasts much longer. But in weeks like allstar there is often no point playing TIE with your normal club team.

The only thing we had rated better than Taiwan was Offensive Flow so I would have thought an offence that allowed us to use that would be the best like patient, motion, princeton or low post but obviously I don't know the skills of our players and you do. I rarely go up against teams I can't beat but the "conventional wisdom" is the underdog is best served by a low scoring game.

Good answers. Thanks for your continued enthusiasm and passion for the team.

Phillipines is undefeated. They destroyed by at least 20 including teams that beat us, that is about the true margin between us.

Patient works well but needs your flow to be at the same standard as your oppents perimeter defense to be effective.

We had 85 shots and they had 85 shots. We just missed too much, 6/26, 1/9, 2/8 etc wont get the job done.

Nippon vs. Singapore 69 - 91 (17400)

Nippon looked like the only team trying out there.


Well that is it, we were not even close. It was a fun try but in the end we were too small and weak. My good news is that Konoe was top scorer and got the top rating, but I would rather have the win.

Thank you for all your efforts this season but I guess soon it is time to look to the future. After having Konoe on the U21 team for 2 seasons and also Kawaida on it last season I probably wont have anyone unless Takayoshi Kawagichi really lifts his game or I buy Hyakutake. Still got Sonoda on the senior team though and that is freat.

Very honest appraisal. I think we were in a tough pool and really we weren't going to beat Taiwan, Phillipines or Singapore. The only one that mattered was Kazakhstan and even there the best team won. Look at their roster and ours. You still have my vote of approval.

In the last game I used the new blank lineup thing that has been the rage of the forums


I was curious enough to try this in my latest PL game (42244214). It was a complete dissaster. The decisions the computer made and places some players are played made no sense. My team's overall performance was much worse than normal. Comparethis to recent games against STO (39847839) and Swoosh (39847847) and you can see what I mean. I do not advise that anyone try this approach.

Guys... I gotta say that testing out a dubiously promoted tactic in "important games" is pretty foolish.
You wanna try it, do so in a scrimmage.

Since I am officially in building for the future mode and the cup is now over there are no games deemed too important to test new things. But doing so in a deciding U21 Tournament game however would be more than I would suggest as well.
