SSBA 13 Rules

GAMEPLAY

Hall Of Fame
12 Min Quarters
8 hour Advance
58 Games

NO Turbo in the half court set to get a shot off. If u pump fake and the opponent jumps u can go in for the jam but u should never turbo around a guy to get a shot off in the half-court set.

You may adjust strategy at the beginning of the game, during time outs or end of each quarter using the pause menu. You may not pause in the middle of the game to check stats or change plays or adjust strategy.

NO INSTANT REPLAYS DURING GAMES.

PLAYER POSITIONS

You can only use players at their primary and secondary positions. If you play a player out of place he will be suspended for the next game you play.

Make sure your bench is getting a good amount of minutes work your rotation. Unless overtime is involved, but playoffs is a different story.

Also spread the ball don't let 2 people on your team average all your shots. You player should avg around 26 shots per game, if they are avg more than this they better be shooting an ungodly % from field. 26 three pointers or in that area is acceptable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OFFENSE

Stay around 50% Points In The Paint. Fast Break Points will be deducted from overall PIP Total.

Play NBA Style - Take advantage of mismatches, take what the defense gives you. For example, attack bigs defending smalls on the perimeter, or small defending bigs in the post.

Fast Break points points are ONLY allowed off TURNOVERS, BLOCKS, OR AIRBALLS. If your opponent presses and is swiping for steals in the back court(which they shouldn't be) ---Take Advantage.

YOU SHOULD RUN SETS TO GET YOUR PLAYERS THE BALL, IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANY SETS THEY HAVE A PRACTICE MODE WHERE YOU CAN LEARN PLAYS.

You don't have to run plays every time down, but 60 - 70% of your offense should be ran through Sets. Do not abuse certain play sets or offense moves.

Abuse is defined as using any game option more than 3x in a row.

For example, shooting THREE fade-away shots in the post in a row, running the same set THREE times in a row, using an up and under THREE times in a row and anything else of this nature IS CONSIDERED ABUSE. Do your best to mix it up and have fun playing. The game give you a ton of options on offense AND defense.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEFENSE

100% on ball defense.

You may switch offball if beat off the dribble to recover and defend. You may switch offball to defend the pick and roll. BUT YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY SWITCH BACK TO ON BALL AFTERWARD

Switch defender ON the pass.

You may play Zone Defense but not all quarter switch it up.

No full court Press/Trap unless down in the 4th.

Double teams are allowed. But should be not be abused. See above for a description of abuse.

CONTACT INFORMATION

You must have some form of contact info where people can reach you whether its a phone number or an email, something that you can respond to even if your busy at the moment.

There is an app called group me on smartphones. We encourage members to download this app so we can add you to the simsational group. The app is basically a huge chat for everybody in the league where you can see whats going on even if you are unable to get on the site chat at the time.

Failing to reply to people when they try to contact you will not be accepted.

PROCEDURE FOR RULE DISPUTES

Players will contact their opponents with any problems EITHER via XBL or PC CHAT. Badmouthing opponents in SimSational general chat WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

If no resolution can be made this way, the offended party must try to gather evidence of their claim and present to an ADMIN.

If the ADMIN cannot come to a conclusion based on the grievance and/or evidence, the judgement gets kicked up to CAP.

These rules are GENERAL. Certain games/situations will change the flow/style of game. Ex 2-3 zone will allow more 3s, 3-2 zone more PIP. As long as you are playing in a SIM manner and mixing up how you play you will be fine!! Use your team to their strengths and take advantage of mismatches.
