From my personal experience, the best defence against patient offence is first and foremost putting your best defender on the opponent's best player. Patient offence basicly looks for the star player to get open shots. if the star player doesn't get the open shot, it goes to the next, and next, andso on. The problem is ther's only 24 seconds, so it usually doesn't turn out so well when the star player himself doesn't get the good shot. What I do in games against this offence, is M2M with my best defender on the star player. that's it. Maybe other people here that understand the game better than me have better suggestions.

There is no best offence against M2M. Since this defence barely has any switches, it relies heavily on what kind of mismatch you can find. try to see where your opponents Defence lacks the most compared to your offence, and attack that area. If the opponent has pretty balanced outside and inside D's, just go with what your team is good at. sometimes going base offence is the best solution against M2M, when there is no big advantage in any catagory.

Hi!

So how would you play against this guy?
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/14721498/overview.aspx
By far the best scorer in the league, plays patient and the guy is a SF but mostly plays on PF.
The other star is a 174k C the rest are around 20k players.

Thanks!

What Manon said, best OD guy on him even if you have to which from normal position using defensive switch and have your second best on their best passer, probably the PG. And have a good backup Defender for both of these guys... Patient offenses can put points up in hurry against bad subs.

Hi!

I played this team again in the PO finals and lost at home to him:
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/52569226/boxscore.aspx

I played my SF who is good in both OD and ID against "him" at PF. Problem was that Rotebühl changed position after one quarter(he played badly and missed loads of shots first so my tactic was working... At first) and switched around PG, SG and SF(in the end he was listed as a PG...
I think the manager played let coach decide so the coach made that adjustment after the fist quarter when my tactic orked so well.
The second problem as that I was defending his players out of theie position. As I said my SF on PF, my PG on the SF, my SG on his PG, C on C and most critically my PF on his SG. My PF has only okay OD for a PF so the player at SG put up a lot of points also(Grashoff and Rotebühl).

You can see his and other stats now cause Rotebühl and other starters are on the TF list:
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/26327/players.aspx
Gstach is his starting PG, Grashoff his starting SG and Raffaelli played most PF minutes after Rotebühl moved away from this position.

How should I play now?
Maybe 3-2 zone on defense to counter the switching of positions(my PG-SF all have good OD) and some neutral offense like PTB to have some inside shoots also to exploit his bad ID on his PG, SG and PF(Raffaelli and Rotebühl are not so good in ID for a PF but good/very good in OD)?

Thanks for your help!
