:) maintaining game shape is not always as easy as it seems.

How much of a difference do you guys think that you are seeing with blocks now that the new game engine is in place? I did some rough math on my part and am averaging around 2 more a game. My game tonight is going to competely scew that number as I believe that I'm approaching 20 for the game, but, no offense intended, that's against USA Elite and not a fair comparison to overall performance.

Preibys (Reston) just posted his 5th straight 20+ game. He had to be a beast in his prime.

I have noticed a lot of a difference to the overall defense of my team. The ratings haven't changed, but I have noticed SB has made a difference to player ratings.

Interesting. Honestly, I had not given it much thought or study until I racked up 26 blocks. I don't care about who your playing, I don't think I've ever seen the game engine generate quite that level of dominance.

Yea I've always seen the difference SB can make, but now I feel SB has just become more important overall to stopping the inside. In my private league game against an opponent with a better inside offense to my inside defense only score in the 70s for points. They had like a prolific inside team scoring, but I firmly believe it's my SB that stopped it.

However I think it is now too good and if players have the right amount of SB they will be able to stop even the top teams and everyone will transition to more of a base offense or outside offense.

I think in the long run PTB will be the best offense to use.

Possible, but it's going to require time and a whole new set of trained players to emerge. Pretty much everyone at the higher levels of success has a huge amount invested into the inside game. I don't disagree with you, but I think it's going to be a much more gradual evolution.

Yea I feel the top teams are so set on LI that once these other teams with different strategies become successful, they will quickly start to fall off the top.

I have always been one to think differently though about things. I've always loved SB before the change and I even like the Princeton offense, one that many people think is only good for blowoff games. But in my world you have to think outside the box to be successful where as others stay inside their box and are very content.

I've always enjoyed running princeton. I was able to employ it quite well at Div IV and III, but have never really been able to adjust my roster accordingly to run it at this level. Would be nice to do so someday -- might be sooner than I'd like, my team is getting older and is either going to have to advance in the 1-2 season's, or be rebuilt.

I like that Droids and Burger Chefs are building good size arena's. Always nice to see people investing into that so they can stay an active force in the game. Always good to have people who can create an economy to give them a shot at going after that coveted NBBA slot!
