he has started him in 2 games already so again there might be a chance the big guy doesnt play


I forgot to mention that, and I did notice it already. Considering he currently has a game shape of 8, the guy clearly manages his players minutes. He already played 77 minutes this week, more than that would be overkill...

You guys tempted me, crunch time it is. Just one question: why low post and not look inside? I'm aware of the differences, just curious to know why you chose the first.

its a slower offense and just in case he plays the big guy a slower offense gives "worse" teams a better chance according to the game manual. Here is the quote..

A slower pace will often result in higher-quality shots, but occasionally will result in bad shots at the end of the shot clock. Fewer possessions in the game also means that scores will be lower, which means that bad teams can stay closer to good ones

Thats why, its just a safer option in case he plays the big guy.

I'm glad to see you've been swarmed with offers of advice :P. I definitely enjoy the discussion part of this game as well. As for the necessary stamina to play FCP I can't really help you. I've never used it, but it backfired against all opponents that used against me (there weren't that many of them though :P). But 7 is a decent level, I wish my average was 7!

The slower pace may help you keep the game closer, reducing the number of possessions. For what it's worth, I would also use Crunch Time if I were in your position. Despite the difference in ranking his team doesn't have that much over yours, and you're playing at home. There's a chance he'll overlook the game and throw a weak lineup, or take-it-easy, and if you get that 24k PF in foul trouble than I would start counting my chickens :P

A team that has bad efficiency (passing, handling, offensive flow and turn the ball over a lot) should try a fast pace offensive. The longer you hold onto the ball the more change the defense has to pick off a pass or pick your pocket (steal). A fast offensive shoots the ball early which means they pass the ball less and don't hold onto it resulting in less TO and more shoots at the baskets (although the shoots will be rushed a little and results in lower %).

i am not a pro but isnt it best to play a fast paced offence like r&g or push if your team is good shooters but bad passers and a slower paced one like motion or low post if you are bad shooters but good passers?

Yes and that is what i was trying to say. If your team is bad passing and you run a motion you will turn the ball over because you pass the ball more. I got 21 and 20 TO in two games because my team is bad at passing and handling and i ran a motion.

Oh ok. And also a slow pace offence should be ran by a bad shooting team and good at offensive flow.

Thank you all for your advice. Ended up winning the game (22445834), and that wouldn't certainly have happened if it wasn't for your help.

He ended up using the monster PF after all. This surprised me a bit as I was almost convinced he was taking care of his minutes. Luckily for me, the "crunch time" against his TIE certainly ruined it for him. Had he set a normal enthusiasm, I think he would have made it.
The funniest thing about this was both our failed tactics: I used Look Inside and he defended with 3-2, he used Motion and I chose a 2-3...

To sum this thread up: more than advice on how to deal with this match, you guys thought me some approaches to matches I never thought about: checking the opponent's season stats for important data like: Do his players have lots of turnovers? Does his team rarely shoot for 3? And so on: knowledge I'll use in the future.

Best regards, and good luck with your season!
