Why is Shaq playing/guarding SF?

Why is Shaq playing/guarding SF?

interesting question - I have him set as eligible to defend that position given the assumption that I have 2 other 100 defenders who can cover SF-C a strategy based on the idea that the sim will set the best defenders on the most potent offensive players - that's the way it's supposed to work right?

"After further investigation, I've found the issue. There's an upper limit to how the SimEngine calculates an offensive player's quality, and both Bryant and Wade exceed that limit. So in effect they're being treated as equally good. So at that point it's a toss up which defender will match up where."

That's a section of a ticket from years ago. Usage isn't the only thing that determines who gets the better defender.

so another thing we have no control over, even when it should be inherently obvious. Jesus.

so that's retarded and we have learned nothing because we're still left with a 1 pt guy not being covered in favor of a 2 pt guy but jesus everything about this site stopped making sense closer to 20 years ago than 10 anyway

No wonder no one plays this anymore..

LA Clippers OFF Cleveland Cavaliers DEF PG C. Paul 100% M. Price 100% SG C. Billups 100% L. James 100% SF M. Johnson 100% S. O'Neal 100% PF B. McAdoo 100% L. Nance 100% C D. Jordan 100% B. Wallace 100%

this again - Jordan is 1 pt, Marques is 2 - Jordan took 4 shots over the course of 34 minutes and I had him covered w a 100 defender

half & half is set very aggressive/never/never - bench players wind up playing 50% more than settings while starters KAT and AK play 5-6 minutes less than settings - looks like mercurochrome experienced similar issues (note barkley and mutombo) - maybe schedule some stoppages in play like you know the actual game? (PS there were 31 total turnovers and 25 fouls - in reality these tend to be stoppages in time)

I'm sure new (can we still call them new?) ownership will address all these concerns . . .
. . . right after we have World Peace (not the player).

2 questions for the pros on here. I'm putting together a above 60 defensive team should I run press or half court Defense? I have another team with 7 players in the top 250 WS and Ws48. Does this have a positive effect or non for my team? Thank you

I wouldn't press with that. Press makes people shoot better but gives you a better chance for turnovers. If you are building a good defensive team, then stick with half court. If you're going against a team you know is better than you & you're trying to force an outlier outcome, then press.

WS are not in the WIS matrix to my knowledge.
