I tested a Princeton Offense yesterday just to see how Crowell is developing and it was cool.
In my opinion the prediction gives a too high boost, it was, to me, one of the worst "innovation" that has been made to this game.
I've played BB since Season 1 and now seeing people going all in without any sense and in some lucky cases pick up a underdog win, well, to me it's really disappointing. I don't think that a strong team should always win, but neither that a too weaker team overcomes due to "coaching" miracle. Now we have the ridiculous situation that you train your players and you will never use them at their best. For example, I would always play LI because that's the best offensive tactic for my players, but everyone will put both focus and rythm.. so I have to switch to motion, to isolation, to push the ball, to low post and so on. How many matches did I play with a LI? Really dunno.
In Utopia I have a less tactical choice, while with my first team I managed my team to have more or less 5 small forwards in the starting five, so I can choose whatever. BTW, let's see what happens on saturday, let's have a great match
This is real life, mate. If a real basketball team always plays in the same way, it is much easier for its opponents to stop it because coaches exist.
Thanks to the best innovation that has been made in BB, now we can see real tactic fights and all of us are compelled to try and learn from different offensive options. It is really amazing not to see that every team uses LI in every game.
You said " Now we have the ridiculous situation that you train your players and you will never use them at their best". The solution is easy: train them in a way that they can be valid for several tactics. Explore other trainings, other options.
And of course, a more less weak team can not beat a more less strong one even if it guesses the two GDPs right. They give a boost, but they dont make any miracles. Without going further, just take a look at yesterday's B3 games. The two loosing teams guessed 2 GDPs right.
