In handball is not real make 6 changes but here it is, so ...

basketball will have a completely different engine in this regard.

It is not against the rules.

It's impossible to do 6 substitutes in the same time, when the game is not stopped, in handball.

When you are changing from defense to offense it is impossible!

Posible, but not realistic...

you meant possible, didn't you?

It is absolutely NOT impossible. But obviously not recommended.

Yes I do, sorry

If you meant that is possible, indeed, changing from def to off is possible, but I never saw in real handball happening something like this... and I watched pretty much handball.

But changing from off to def is not possible, unless, of course, the opponent substitutes all his 6 players, too

When you meant possible, then yes, from defense to offense this could be. But that would slow down your game too much. Except for special situations you wouldn't do this. And also, a problem arises when you'd like to change back to Defense... Well, you know.

But you definitely could not properly play Fast Breaks in any case. Which somehow brings me back to my question, if PPM thinks everything works fine here.

Of course in real handball there would be some trouble during the change from offense back to defense. But there it is also possible (and also done) to change 2-3 players when there is no fastbreak.

Imho the difference between real and PPM handball is, that in real handball you have not these kind of specialists. That's the reason why it is not done. Maybe there should be some finetuning in PPM.

But to your point "But you definitely could not properly play Fast Breaks in any case.": I don't think so. First of all there is the decision: fast break or not? And if not than you change the players.

And one last point: I'm not pretty sure if it is the best solution to play with 12 field players. You can save energy and it seems to be a stronger team. But when I think about the current market value of my players I could sell 6 of them and earn a lot of money. And with this money I could get much better players than I have right now..

Well, nobody here ever said, there should or could be no subs at all. But all 6? Simply not doable, except for delaying defense-offense changes and stopped time.
And I really think that FB are not properly (!) playable when you field 6 defensive and 6 offensive players. Six offensive specialists trying to defend a FB? Good luck. Six Blockers trying to score fast? Mh...

Anyway, now I'm engaging myself in a discussion about this topic again. Which I didn't want, because it's pointless. What counts is if the devs are fine with the current situation, and that's what I'd like to know.

devs say if you find a hole in the engine use it as much as you can. this is a comp game not a real life.

Again back to the same ... this is a computer game that simulates. When you play a shooter combat, the way you like it most resembles reality or when you play a car or aircraft simulator... here the same.

And as you say, if the devs think there is a hole, well you use it as you can, it is legal, but once discovered they should cover it.
