Have you looked at your boxscores in those games? There is no such thing as a slow down in FB. If you set it to slowdown, it defaults to normal tempo.

No such animal as slow down in Fast break. I have at times toyed with trying to learn a second offense to just the c level or so to use for slowdown late in games to eat clock, but I haven't tried it yet.

thanks Dr gill, good stuff.

yeah, jaypee, it was your thread that got me thinking.

it seemed like everyone in that thread just about took for granted that everyone used "GT and FF" and since i have almsot never used GT, i was curious how much of a minority i was in. after the comments here...im feeling pretty lonely. maybe i will have to jump on over to the other side of the fence.

I can see why someone would get confused. Those aren't exactly common abbreviations.

i had no idea those werent widely accepted common abbreviations.

Leave it to kel to get in touch with the commom man.

in hindsight i can see the confusion, sorry bout that, jetdude.

No apology needed oldave. I have been playing long enough to have figured that out, even if I didn't pick it up right away. I thought I was pretty creative coming up with "fatigue factor" and "Game time", ven though that seemed strange. Gotta cut down on the meds.......
