FCP is the best tactic against bot, I used it and got a great margin.
I believe that there's an ungoing and never ending debate about pace...

Slow paced offenses need better handling. For countering FCP, you also need good handling. So if your handling is really great, I guess slow offense is good against FCP. But if your handling is average or worse, I think slow paced offenses will just give more opportunity to your opponent to steal the ball.

but wont a fast paced offense give him some nice and juicy balls to steal??
I think that a slow paced offense is a better option against a team using FCP coz the players will be careful while passing the ball and hence the opponent will get less chances of stealing the ball....

logic is simple; the longer you play with the ball, the higher possibility of giving it away..

check what BB-Charles said about this years ago -> (55427.2)

"..In the current game engine, a slower-paced offense involves more dribbles and passes, and therefore there are more chances to turn the ball over, leading to more turnovers.."


but they adjusted it also basing of logic, that an patient offense(i mean not the tactic) will include less risky choiches so that fast paced tactic are more TO proone within the same time. In the end i don't see differences betwen them, but most to against an FCP are in the beginning where a slow offensiv handles the ball safer.

I agree, but i experienced that slower offense helped me closing the gap against better teams, and got better reuslts against worst teams with faster pace.

i believe it was in the announcement of the new ge, that they change it. But i am looking for quotes ;)

Edit: i didn't find it in the news, so it should be a quote or imaginiation.

yeah i would agree on that with you :)

I would say the advantage of pace are like that:

fast: you maybe take even a bit more difficult shot, while the FCP defensiv is in transition to a normal def. Such shot should be still pretty good.

slow: maybe you act more safe with the ball, which makes it a bit less TO proone.

But anyway, if you had to worry about it i would rebuild the roster cause FCP is in my eyes an highly inactive defensiv, if your don't have 1-2 TO machines in his roster.

Thanks for the responses everyone! Due to my stamina also playing a factor in this game, I think I should consider a slower paced tactic shouldn't I? Such as Low Post, or Motion? Also, I noticed there will be a mistmatch against my opponent if I play my Best handler/outsider shooter/defensive player in the SG position. Im tempted to do it but hearing that I should put my best handler as PG should I reconsider this factor?
