Boy did I get lesson of Vis Major. CT, home court and my strongest possible team. Back to the drawing board.


Ahhh an unexpected move from Mango Tango...PTB is something that you shouldn't use against team with balanced defense (inside and outside) unless you are confident you can create mismatches.

PTB is the best offense to run against balanced defenses because there are no obvious weaknesses for you to exploit, so you allow the GE to figure that out...

That's what I thought. But in the end I was outmatched in all positions. I need a SG who can score.

So you are saying ptb is like putting your faith in the GE to work out the exploit for you? I've seen coach do "wonderful" things during games, I am sure putting faith in the GE is about the same result lol.

here are examples of ptb against me:

i dont want to go deep into this debate so we'll continue to believe in what we want lol.

Your small sample size shows nothing.

The point of PTB is, if you have a balanced inside and outside offense and the defense you are coming up against is solid both inside and out, the basis of PTB is not to have an inside or heavily outside based offense, and the game engine will explore post options and the perimeter.

Not forgetting the offensive flow for all those teams being pretty bad.

Bad offensive flow doesn't help your team find good looks, so a focused offense would be fine.

Those games could have plenty of variables outside of the control of the game engine, like effort and enthusiasm.

I repeat. If your team is balanced, there's no reason why you wouldn't go for the best possible option available to you, which is to make use of both your guards and bigs. Especially if the opponent is very well rounded in both inside and outside defense.

And Matt, no. Arcuato will get the ball, see the SG he's up against and decide if he should pass, shoot or whatever he wants to do.

He'll get smashed in II at SG though.

In the game Mango vs VM, Mango offensive flow rating is much higher than those games, yet he struggled to score. What I am saying is, if your offensive rating for inside and outside is lower than the opponent's inside and outside defense, you rather use a focus offense.

I know you use PTB as your main offense before, if you look back to those games that you won with PTB and same effort.
e.g: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/23178487/boxscore.aspx
you notice in that match, your outside offense was better than yara's outside defense, and when you look closely at the score box, it's your SG & SF that were the mis match (also look at the opponent's SG/SF salaries) and they were the ones that score most points in that game.

anyways, no one really knows how the GE works beside the BB developers. So either one of us could be right or maybe we could be talking about the same thing.... who knows.

Haven't been able to get on the internet *grumble* stupid ISP *grumble*

Anyway, love that write-up a few pages ago from Fat Boy, though I think you forgot the mention the starting all-star at SF :p

Should be an interesting all-star games, though blue have a massive advantage at SG with Arc there. Red however has some decent big-men sitting on the bench.

Was well and truly beaten in my last game too, back to the drawing board I guess.
