what would be the best tactic against 2 3 zone ? =P

Any tactic.

Preferrably outside, but Look inside and Low post will also get you there. If you fall behind, your guards will hit 10 3s in last quarter and win it for you.

I dont know if this actually works good or not cause im just gonna talk about one game... so my last game http://www.http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/36188284/box... i forgot to change my offense and accidently played look inside against a 2-3 and the whole game his post players and sf were in foul trouble and my center basically killed his players on the inside.... maybe its cause look inside is fast pace but it definitely worked in that game

firstly that was a real lucky win.as far as the explanation is considered heres what i would say-
your C is much better than his.moreover the player which played for 18 mins at C has a strong defense which is really low to defend.moreover his players are in low GS and this would have given you additional benefit against his big men.
so these 2 things really went into your way and your team killed his by huge 25 points.

If you are just starting, I'd advise you to start with base offense and, according to your results, then try different tactics.

Even if you lose some games, it's an investment that you can make up in the draft =)

lol.
i'd much rather face a 2-3 zone than anything else when playing look inside. random examples, since i can't remember better ones: (32851464) & (32851429)

but even with mediocre (5) outside scoring & only strong (8) inside scoring, 2-3 zone still is awful... & that's with the other team using more effort the 2nd game. also it should be noted that both teams' starting centers were making almost twice as much money as mine was!

I don't see how those playing anything other defense against you would have reduced the loss of your opponents.

I shouldn't be able to score that much vs. 2-3 zone with only strong (8) inside shot & very low outside scoring. 2-3 zone should make the game closer, but it does the opposite... it increases my shooting % and i score more points than normal. it doesn't have the same effect that 3-2 zone has against outside offense.

(36157921) against the same team. again, i'm on the road & have 1 full level lower inside scoring than the other team. yet my PF was 10-15 & my SG was 8-10! I scored 110 pointson over 50% shooting. I only average 87 points per game...

Even the first game, my guards shot about 50% & my SG made 3 of 5 3pters. keep in mind that my starting SG shot 27% for the entire season (only 13% for 3s). & the game vs. the Death Star i scored 109 points vs. more effort..

Somehow things can go two ways, like in this match: (36539955).

But the away team (Damientor) was winning with 2 minutes left! So it was a very close game. Also, remember Telok had home court advantage, shot 22 more free throws, 15 more rebounds, higher offensive flow & outside defense.

Not forfeiting. Beyond that, just don't do anything stupid and you should be in good shape.
