I just checked your team history. Im not going to be taking any advice from a guy who couldnt get out of division 4 from the time he started managing his team. Plus you only have 2 +1 so I dont think its fair for you to give advice.

Heading on the right path so far. Are you?

Trust me I've been in this game longer than you can imagine. I lost my original team when I joined Air Force Basic Training. Started up again after I got out. I had the same problem of not trusting anybody else's opinion and that lead to my downfall. Just because I only have 2 +1's shouldn't matter when someone's trying to help you. I've seen people tell you that you have way to many young players and too many trainee's and yet you still keep them. I'm just trying to help you out but if you're going to be hostile so be it live in mediocrity for most of your BB career.

Ok I only made the decision to go young because my team was failing to compete in my 2nd season so either a. I had to keep the team and build off a loosing record. Or b. switch the mentatlity of the team and try to focus on competiting and winning. Im not like a tanker, I always want to prove that i'm the best in something. I will always play my best lineup in conference play. This team at this age has a chance to go to the 6th round of cup so I consider that a accomplishment

I get that and that's a great accomplishment and I'm not knocking you as a manager because I was in the same boat as you learning this game. Just don't be so hostile and take some constructive criticism because it helps in the long run. All power to you to make sure you don't tank and win but we all start from somewhere and all of us are just trying to show you the ropes and BB basics.

Just FYI you should join the USA offsite. A lot of mentorship there and helper tools. There's a lot of managers who don't post in BB forums but post in the USA offsite with great insight on the game and analysis of the game engine.

rag him down on it, what good is for the game.. who care if he like tall players,

on topic, I wouldn't dare play 2-3zone. until they fix the skill for guards, it useless, overly expensive to run. only reason li guards work is because their jacked up on od. I would stick to 3-2 zone or m2m save yourself the head ache

It is a headache, I cant find a reason for so many inside shots in one game against a 2-3. I understand 10-20 shots from the inside but not the whole game. Plus I bank on taller players in case there potential is low and staats are there.

yer 2-3 zone is a funny one.

There have been many discussions about it. One of the points the game developers have made is that you need good SB for 2-3 zone to work. Here is why i think that applies.

2-3 zone opens up the floor for the outside players. But instead of taking more outside shots, (which would be most obvious) - users have developed players with higher driving skill .......therefore the open outside players drive inside instead.

For driving, opposition, the defense uses ID and SB to defend it. This is where i believe SB makes the difference. High SB alters the driving shots and in theory, the game engine should then either result in lower shot % being made, or push the offensive engine to an outside shot preference (and also lower quality shot, lower shot % etc)..

All very theoretical really and my opinion.... - i've had a little bit of success using 2-3 and high SB players, but nothing to really to provide concrete evidence.
