After so many seasons in this game, I have to the conclusion that, unfortunately, I am not able to understand how the game engine works.
I like basketball, I have played basketball, and I know a lot about basketball. But here it's quite diferent.
This season I had my best team ever, but the results were very dissapointing and I didn't even understand what I didn't do well.
The guards were very close to being the ideal players for these positions, both offensively and defensively. And good skills to avoid the turnovers, too.
Same with the bigs. Acceptable height, wingspan and vertical. Good offensively and defensively skills, good rebounding skills as well, I couldn't even search for more.
So, if I don't understand the game, can't play the game. Maybe it's time to quit, I don't know.
Anyway, I want to thank all my competitors and especially Steve for making this game possible.

Excellent game! Thanks Steve, you did a great job.
But in my opinion, the turnovers formula doesn't work good and maybe something has to be changed.
In my match against Illinois Wesleyan I have been shocked when I saw the turnovers rate between the two teams.
With all my respect from my opponent, I consider that my players are better to the turnovers skills than my opponent players, but the stats of the game looked horrible for my team.
So I will not try to make tactics and technical strategies for the matches anymore and to only glad by the game.
