I'll do Layman's terms since you are struggling to understand anything. You two both run zone, UIS works, Wabash sucks. UIS has really good players in general and fit their system. Wabash players are terrible and are causing an absolute tire fire in any defense. Flood plays bad because the guys around him suck, Flood is doing his best but can't be perfect every game. The algorithm isn't the problem, your ability to diagnosis the problem and how team sports works is.

From Manual: Perimeter positions (PG, SG & SF) with an inside selection will tend to slash to the basket and in some cases post up their defenders. Holt can be slasher IS-14,SP-16,DR-9 But my main complaint was not about the losses, but about the fact that the settings on the Game Management do not affect the way I want. And the same Holt makes 10+ throws when I set him GL=X I wanted to make a team that would score mainly 2-pointers, but since throws inside the arc, but not from the paint, are OS, then everything in the attack rests precisely on this skill for PG-SG-SF. About Recruting:in Cental too much teams so they take all the best plaeyrs,cause D3 cant persuit 5-4 star players and 3 star players take teams from 1-2 divisions because they have higher prestige and they spend less recruiting points.i.e. getting 3 strong players is practically impossible.

You've got to be really intentional about what system you want to run and recruit players who fit it. For guards and wings, you'll want to target 2/3 star guys who have, at a bare minimum, a positive shooting comment, positive speed comment, positive defensive comment (will never be a good interior defender is a positive defensive comment on a guard/wing in a zone scheme). For bigs, you need interior defense, rebounding, and height. You want guys who started as HS FR at 6' or taller. Inside scoring is nice to have, but at a bare minimum you want to be able to protect the paint and rebound. One other thing to remember in recruiting is that the amount of development they make in HS correlates to the speed at which they'll develop in college. Try to target guys who develop at least 10 SI points a season, preferably more. You're correct that going after 4-5 stars in Central is hard. But it is my favorite region to recruit in because it has more players than any other region. Never enter into any recruiting battles and jump on guys who don't have any interest yet. I've found two JR players in our region who don't have any interest yet and would fit well in a zone scheme.

It's literally ONE GAME of rebounding, sometimes a better rebounder has a mid game, and sometimes a mid rebounder happens to grab a lot of boards. Do you really expect the player with better ratings for it to have more rebounds every single game all the time? Because that would be far less logical than the example you posted.

Mr3pts Joined: 04/17/2023 Posts: 84 Wabash Little Giants V.11	Twolvesfan21I'll definitely show you the stats at the end of the season, where you'll see that Holt's rebounding stats will be worse, even though they're already worse. And if skills don't matter, then why bother with them? Let everything be hidden except his name and stats.

Some things that could explain a guy with worse rebounding attributes being a better rebounder could be: If the worse rebounder is pretty easily the best on his own team, he'd naturally get more rebounds than someone who isn't. He could also be on a team that either forces more misses or misses more shots themselves, creating more rebounding chances on both ends. Maybe he has a better coaching staff. Maybe his team plays more man, which is generally considered to be better for rebounding. Or they might have a more packed in defense, keeping him closer to the basket for boards. Or he might be on a more inside positioning with others more outside so more rebounds fall to him. The point is, there are a huge amount of factors that could be impacting rebounding performance beyond ratings and measurables.

Deon Finch SI=69 5-8 shots,1 foul,ID=2,OFG 6-11 Heath Holt SI=147 1-5 shots,4 fouls,ID=8,OFG 6-6(It's strange that he wasn't fouls out,this is just the norm for him this season,he's probably very fast, that's why he fouls a lot) and I'm not talking about the fact that again, with the green light = "++", there are only 5 throws The team is probably tired of winning. Probably one of the coaches bet on the visitors with higher odds. It's a miracle that we were able to win in the first round on the road.

Mr3pts Joined: 04/17/2023 Posts: 84 Wabash Little Giants V.11	Twolvesfan21Tell me what tactical settings I should set to get more rebounds,playing players with less skill. I'll play like that the whole season, and then we'll check the stats at the end of the season. Coaches The coaches have no influence on the game at all. Minnesota won the championship with one loss under a coach who had zero skills. I had a coach with DEV=20, but the player only made 2-4 ups during the season. There are 4 away games left, 3 of which are against bots. We're 90% likely to lose them all and drop out of the top three.
