Not sure whether this is still true or not, but a while back (a loooong while back) the prevailing wisdom seemed to be that salaries tended to jump more when SB was increased as opposed to ID. As a result, there were a number of players where ID was prioritized over SB when training.

Not an active enough reader of the Forums to know whether this was disproven, changed as a result of a change to the GE, or just fell out of favor. Not a good enough team owner to know the true answer to your question (can't seem to break out of USA Div III).

Without significant data from the rest of BB, i would not believe the comment outright that it reduces shots. It likely reduces an opponent's will to go inside, it might drop shots by 1 or 2 if they can't generate open shots in a slower paced offense, but dropping 6 sounds like abandoned strategy.


I'm not sure what his opponents did. I'll be sure to ask him if anything may have skewed his observation.

that is a good point.

However statistically, a guard with higher SB will block more shots on average per game. So it does contribute to a degree.

i think perhaps what the game manual is suggesting, is that there is no point in training a guard to have Phenomenal SB. The degree to which SB contriubtes to guards defense, is less than - compared to inside defenders.

I would agree with this. I personally love SBing everywhere. Almost all my key players have a good amount of SBing.

My starting 5 players combine to have 45 SB skill points in it, which is pretty high compared to most teams, I believe and it is definitely apparent in my games. In my two playoff games that I have had, I've put up 14 blocks and 17 blocks. I believe I averaged around 11 blocks a game this season, but that is counting in the games in which I did not have my now-starting 85k Center.

So if:
14 ID + 13 SB > 20 ID + 7 SB
then:
14 ID + 13 SB - 14 ID - 7 SB > 20 ID + 7 SB - 14 ID - 7 SB
6 SB > 6 ID
SB > ID
Is that really true?
So then:
20 SB + 7 ID should be even better than 14 ID + 13 SB.

there is an math unclear idea in your calculation. If the gap between sb (or is) 1 and 2 is the same than 19 and 20, you're right. Instead, if the difference is greater increasing the level, is different deleting 14 id to 20 and 7 sb to 13. What is right?

yer i think you have simplified it a little bit.
There are no two skills that work in isolation in the game (in my opinion) - except for maybe FT.

Low ID and high SB tends to lead to more fouls - in my experiences. so a 20SB 7ID would probably lead to lots of fouls as well.

the two skills go hand in hand though and compliment each other. SB makes the players ID (and OD) better, OD and ID will help a player block more shots (as opposed to fouling a lot).
