Welcome to the clown club mate

So what fixes the problem that in a real 3-2 zone PF/C with good jump shots should be scoring at will in low post and motion offenses? But we know it’s impossible to have the PF/C shoot 5+ 3s/game — even if they are facing bad OD bigs

I really think BB should go back to factory settings...
And start from there.
Every game change made this game worse!
After 60 seasons of playing this game, that is my experience.

Nah, not go back to LI mate, but I dont want a 3-2 meta either.

We need to find a balance where you can play all off/def tactics, not just 1 to be over power.

I dont know what they will do, but a 3-2 zone need a nerf.

Hope they will find some balance this time...

What about these changes:
- Inside Scoring trains more inside defense and slightly less jump shot.
- Rebounding now depends on energy. A tired player rebounds worse than a fresh one, which was not the case before.
- Rebounds knocked out of bounds are now much less frequent and depend on position — a guard tipping the ball out is now far rarer than a center doing it, where before every player did it at the same rate.
- Finally, a long standing bug where experience was applied repeatedly in overtime has been fixed. Games going to multiple overtimes were giving players a substantial and entirely unintended boost.

Will these changes be reverted in Season 74?

I have been using Buzzerbeater since 2008, with a lot of passion.
I like the game perfectly as it is right now.
When you are saying you guys are going to increase the pace of the seasons with more games being played faster, this scares me. Even now, I hardly find enough time to prepare my games in advance.
This is just one of the concerns I have with the new format.
I also am skeptical of other changes you guys are planning to do with this new version.

Let's just say that I'm hoping you will change as little as possible.
Because the more changes you do, the less chance I'm going to continue playing this game.
For me, it's just fine as it is right now.
That's my opinion....

Sorry in advance if somebody had already suggested following..

I'd really love to see changes made to the training system. The fact that you can only effectively train 6 players per week, without serious penalties, is beyond unrealistic and underwhelming and i don't see the reason for being like this.

I wish that we could train every player's individual skill on a weekly basis without having them to play in a certain position.
Requirement can be that we have to hire more trainers and that every trainer can train max 3-4 players.

The other wish i have is that we could setup tactic individually, where you can change focus for each player separately.

Focus: Mostly Inside, More Inside, Balanced, More Outside, Mostly Outside
Shooting/Passing: Pass Mostly, Pass More, Balanced, Shoot More, Shoot Mostly.

This would make preparing tactics even more important and unpredictable, scouting would be super necessary in order to set proper tactics.
