I was just wondering what sort of funky experiments veterans owners have taken in exhibition games...like setting Distribution for one player at 99-100%...or making everyone +2 for 3-point attempts? Love to hear feedback on any interest in (or surprising) results! Obviously, fooling around like this might not be good routine strategy for player development but I am fairly certain that some of you will have tried stuff like this before, right?

There was an owner that would reverse his lineup (pg @ C, sg @ pf, etc) to see how things would play out. The results were interesting-you'd often see the stats playing out as they would if the players were in their normal positions. What made the least sense is you'd think your C playing PG would turn it over a bunch but it was rarely the case.

I sometimes forget to update my depth chart and/or distro for exhibitions. Occasionally , will get a scorer with upper 30's lower 40's in points but I have never hit 50.

I play slowdoen to increase the chances of overtime and more minutes of improvement

I find the DIII team with the most freshman and try to beat them as bad as possible. I've seen some really interesting box scores. -

Am I the only person who'd like MORE exhibition games?

As I just mentioned in another thread, I'd like to experiment sometimes. 2 games isn't enough because I use the first one to see how many minutes each guy would get and, if I don't believe it, I do it again in the 2nd game.

I did this recently. And nope they played out exactly like you'd think. My C starting at PG had zero assists and 8 turnovers Haha.

maybe my C was especially ****** though..

Iba is starting soon. I'll try it again with this guy at PG

Benis, let's play against each other and do reverse lineups lol. Worst BH at PG etc.

You're on.

Anyone up for a 1 player distro challenge in Iba? You can only have 1 distro point on one player and his stamina is on foul trouble only.

Well, BH and I did the switcheroo (Not THAT switcheroo you pervs)

Here was the result

And like Darnoc mentioned, not much difference really. My C playing PG with 14 BH and 18 Pass has 2 assists and 1 turnover. However, rebounding definitely is player dependent as he also got 6 reb while my PG playing C got zero.

I did it again for my 2nd exhibition
Same C playing PG has 0 assists and 0 turnovers.
I think the star of this change was the guard turned C Clarence Smith. Shot 9-14 from the field and 8-11 from the line. Solid production!

Cool experiment

Proves that positions are absolutely meaningless in this game as well??

Rebounds matter by position. Other than that, you're probably correct.
