This isn't a bug but moreso an observation over my last two games.

Game 1: Look Inside. 3pt FG= 0/4
Game 2: Motion. 3pt FG= 15/36

Now I realize the differences in the Look Inside tactic v.s. the Motion offense tactic, but the difference between 0/4 and 15/36 is really dramatic. Seems like if you do play a look inside tactic the team forgets about the perimeter game altogether (even if the team is down by over 10 points and needs a 3 pt FG).

Just an observation, but I think there needs to be a little more of a balance with a low post offense (if you have the guys that can make a 3 pointer). Teams that are an inside scoring team, do play the inside/outside game and take a few more 3 pt shots than I think the game engine allows. Do with it what you wish.

Ok there are possibly many reasons for such a difference I don't think you can judge the balance of the tactics based on the whole 2 games you have experienced.

Your second game was a scrimmage and the other player could have put inside players with no outside defense just to get minutes (to sustain form)
Your first game was in playoffs and it is likely that the other team had set up properly and your outside scorers were not up to beat his defenders.

You have to also look at the defensive strategies you played against. In the first game they played a balanced Man to Man defense. In the second game the team went tactically opposite to what you were playing. They played 2-3 Zone (increased inside defense) and you played Motion (outside attack).

Like I said there are many factors that can change a games box score you cannot presume that it is just one tactical order that makes the difference.

That is fair. I wasn't assuming. Just wanted to bring it up, in case others have mentioned it in the past. That's all.

I'd agree with what has been said already...

also.. its a balance between giving you guys the sense that you are controlling the game and that tactics matter and staying in a reasonable parameter range that it looks like basketball.
