With so many topics here it's hard to navigate. So I'm looking to sharpen in the one area that I could still use improvement which is knowing the best way to strategize a gameplan against opponents, especially when you an underdog in the NT. Any links to threads or comments about personal experience with successful gameplans in the NT would be good, thanks.

I'm coming back to the game after a few years awwy and had similar questions. Check out the mentor list and send a few guys a private email with some of your specific gameplan Q's. I've got some useful tips that way from guys who've been playing a long time and had success.

I'm in a conference with 8 teams currently projected as a lock in the NT and 3 more bubbles, so every game is like a NT game. I've found gameplanning to be huge. A few things I'm trying:

Lineup: I'm changing up my depth chart to match strong defenders where they need to be, best rebounder, etc.

Opponent Defense: If I see a crazy wicked good defender, I adjust distribution down on my player facing him. If I see weakness in defense, distribution goes up. For zone defense, I look at whether they defend inside or outside better, then adjust distro.

Run slowdown if you need luck to win. I was predicted to lose a game by 20 points to a projected 1 seed. I ran slowdown and won the game. If you think you're outmatched, slowdown.

Definitely send a private email to a few mentors. You'll get suggestions for different tips, and can go with what makes the most sense to you.
