How can you back up this theory? There have been a handful of games and unless you went in overdrive and analysed a good 100+ games, you can not really get a feel for what this change is going to bring. Why would they change part of the engine and say they need to boost SB's importance to improve it so minimally? SB wouldn't be any better than before. You're also under the assumption that SB doesn't have an effect on players when they aren't "contested shots" said via the gamefeed. Are we 100% sure those are the only contested shots, how do we know that "intimidation" doesn't come into play when you're playing somebody who has very good SB or that their stats won't be skewed once they do get blocked thus putting more importance on blocking. There are numerous ways they could go with the GE change, I understand you're proposing what you think and I don't mean to be a complete A-hole but just remember to tell people to take your advice with a grain of salt when you're giving a theory. Somebody might come by, read this, then be on their merry way and SB could all of a sudden be the most important stat. Not to mention most of the games that we've analysed aren't players that are of any caliber (scrimmage teams) so any data we do collect is also skewed in the favor of crappy player builds usually.

Given that we know that the cost per pop hasn't changed, you'll still end up with a highly inflated salary on any player you stack SB on.

When there's a salary reduction, the validity of stacking SB might get there. But thats not me proposing that it isn't viable, thats me telling you that it simply isn't viable even after the improvements to the talent. It simply isn't going anywhere, much for the same reason that teams aspiring for less than NT talent dont stack much into passing on certain players. It just costs too much on top of the overall skill point total.

Also, intimidation pre-change was not part of the process. the US offsite folks tracked thousands and thousands of games.

Lol I will. My team have the #1 offense n the largest margin and the #2 defense so far this season. Plus I just got a really good starting player for cheap which I'm surprise, can't wait for his debut on Saturday in front of our home crowd. Pretty sure n 110% that my team will win it all this season

GOOD LUCK!

Not to mention, it's extremely easy to get an older C and PF for cheap that are very good and sustain their salary for the playoffs and beat you.... Just saying

That's a big risk to take to get two old guys just for the playoff, your economy have to be good. And even you do get a old PF n C you still won't be able to beat me cause your guards outside defense has to be really good to contain my outside shooting cause my team is really good at scoring a lot of points. We are the #1 offense for a reason

GOOD LUCK!

How does somebody manage to stay in D.V for 9 seasons? Especially with the kind I economy you have... I mean, you should have accidentally promoted by sheer dumb luck in that amount of time...

You right, I'm mad myself. I was suppose to get promoted like 2-3 seasons ago when I kept going to the finals but I loss and I thought I was going to promoted but never did. So I guess for me the only way ill get promoted this season is to win it all which clearly n confident that I will.

If you keep only the 1 loss, there's a good chance you will bot promote even if you don't win it all.
