How do you get those star players? What tutorials and stuff? I havent gotten one?

Sorry, but I don't understand the player stats well. Here is an example:
Looking at an earlier game my player: FG:14-26, 3FG:3-9, and FT:0-5. I suppose each FT is 1 point, each field goal is 2 points, and each 3FG is 3. So, he should have earned 14*2+3*3+0*1=37 points. However, he has gotten only 31 points according to player stats. What am I missing?
By the way, what is +/- in the next column in player stats?
Thanks again.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Hi again. Philosopher Kings says in the help section that: "Isolation Offenses: There are two types of Isolation offenses, Inside, and Outside. They both are very similar. Your best Inside/Outside scorer is utilized for a balanced attack each possession. This does not mean that they shoot each possession; they could drive and dish the ball to another player or open up another play."

I want to make sure I have it right because I am somewhat illiterate in Basketball. Here is my question: I have weak guards but I have a strong small forward. My opponent is a BOT and playing base offense and man to man. Is it a good idea that I choose outside isolation for my tactic? (I suppose the guards and the small forward are my outside scorer. Thus, my small forward will have the ball all the time because he is the strongest. However, I am not sure if the small forward is considered outside scorer. Can he not be considered also an inside scorer?) Generally speaking, who are outside and who are inside scorers? Thanks.

I don't know why two sets of leagues are called a division. I noticed each team plays twice against every team in their own conference but only once against teams in the other conference. Cool! Is it like that in the real world?

If you play a bot and you want to win just use GDP (game-day preparation) in the tactics option (focus=neutral, pace=normal) and play whatever the hell you want. You really need to try hard to lose against bots.

That said your primary outside scorers are the SG and the PG, the inside scorers are the C and the PF. The SF is a bit of both, he's a jack of all trades and typically if you choose an outside tactic he will shoot jumpers and some 3s, while if you choose an inside tactic he will shoot shots closer to the basket. Either way, if all your starters are of similar strength, you may assume the SF will be the third option no matter what you choose in normal circumstances (but there are other factors at play, like individual match-ups and offensive/defensive tactics etc.).

I guess basketball is like any sport where you can have all different types of playing schedules and promotion/relegation systems.

Is it like that for NBA. I mean eastern conference and western ... ?

Yes, it is. Teams in NBA play 3-4 times against opponents in the same conference and 2 times against teams from the opposing conference.
