When setting tactics for a game, do you ever change your defensive assignments or do you mostly leave it the same? If you leave it the same, I'd recommend you start making adjustments.

I change mine for every game. Do a little scouting and see which players your opponent usually starts. Try matching your worst defenders to their worst scorers, while you would then always stick Nguyen on their best big man scorer and Lange on their best guard. That's how I was containing Milton.

If you just have your players set to guard their own position, then you wasted Lange in our series. Duff is by far the worst scorer in my lineup. That's why the scouting is important. A simple click on his profile would show you how terrible he is and that he is often my starting SG, and then you could adjust your defense accordingly.

Not saying it would necessarily change the outcome, but I think it would make the margin a bit closer.

I don't often vary the PG-SG coverage, but I do move the players between some positions.
I also try to vary my 3-2 vs 2-3 vs MtoM vs Press...
I rarely play with the focus settings.

I could do a better job sometimes with my ent.

It looked to me like I wasn't going to make the top 4 teams, so I was saving ent done the stretch to use up in the relegation games. Unfortunately dropping my week one game made it unlikely to get out of the log jam that had me in 7th place, and I didn't match well with 5th place from the other conference.

Congrats Scrap! I like how you added insult to injury by knocking out two of his best players. :p

Thanks. It has been a long time since I had a good thug on my team. They come in handy if they can do it in stealth mode!
