Hi everyone,

I'm trying out things in my PL and scrimmages and I was wondering. In Buzze manager, I get a much better rating playing inside defense instead of neutral or outside.

Will it be better to use a 2-3 for example even if my opponent is playing neutral offense? Or man to man would be better even though my team is weaker at defending this way, but it's a closer opposition to the type of offense is running?

THanks

I would recommend you play M2M because it is a better defense against a neutral offense. 2-3 is not the best against a neutral offense. It is only good against an Inside Team.

You might notice that your inside defense ratings go up playing 2-3 but your outside defense ratings go down. There's a sacrifice. And if someone does play and outside based offense against your 2-3 teams usually get torched.

The safest defense overall is m2m and it's definitely the best defense against a neutral offense.

it is not good even for inside offense cuz it makes it easy for the guards to pass the ball to the big men.moreover it leads to more fouls.

It all depends on your whole team. Say if you have a good all round team then it is gonna be hard for the other teams guards to pass the ball inside if you play a 2-3 zone defense. I have play 2-3 and haven't had much foul trouble to when I play 3-2. Zone defense often tend to lead into more fouls than M2M but against an Inside playing team 2-3 is the best option.

thats always been a debate...many say that 2-3 opens up the perimeter so the guards thread easy passes to the big men so there is only one chance to stop them from scoring and thus that pressure leads to fouls.and i agree to that.
but then the question arises that if we cant use 2-3 against inside attacks then why has that been provided to us.

The BB's have said that 2-3 works if you have a frontline with high shotblocking. Problem is, people have always been ignoring SB training in their bigs (for various reasons) so almost every big man available out there doesn't have this skill set. This is especially true as you get into the higher salaried players.
