I have to say that I've been a bigger fan of patient than I am now. A good OD shuts it down. It seems impossible to have your PF/C take the majority of the shots, even though you have decent offensive flow.

it goes to your best shooter, which leads to a crazy tactic of switched offensiv positions.

(32832558) - here two guard son big spot, but jus t the PF goes crazy

(32832560) - same here

(36208822) - used it for training ;) Wasn't the best shootetr, but in comparision better to his defender.


I would look at patient as a form of the outside isolation ;)

Yes, I would guess that patient is the outside iso.

Maybe I'll use patient when I face week outside defenses or want to train my guards inside, will see if it works.

So, does that mean that if you have an amazing shooter, which eventually will result in taking most of the shots (with Patient), then Patient might be a good offensive tactic?

i don't rate IS on guard pretty high, but especially in poatient my experience that you take outside shots so i wouldn't look to much for IS.

I think also my exaamples show, missmatches in the IS and ID comparision with solid shooting performances of the scoring dude.

Inside Isolation, didn't go too bad.

You're way better than your opponent. Even Patient would have worked. :p

Thanks for the advice, tomorrow I'll try Low Post to see how it's gonna go. Next thursday I'll make some adjustments to the lineup and see If I can make patient work.

This is a scrimmage but, my PF has a higher JS than my other starters. He had a monster game. A lot of shots tho....... http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/38950354/boxscore.aspx

Agree. I had a Patient game today in PL just to see who's right in this thread. And also to see if that's a tactic I'd like to use in the future because of solid offensive flow. Match: (36137718)

So what happened was my SF Zorin took most of the shots, even a lot of 3s, even though he has JS 13 and JR 6. Despite having DR 14, he didn't take this opportunity and almost half of his shots were 3s.

Then opponent's first PG got injured and my PG Polh, who is JS 11 and JR 9, started taking most shots. As you see, he was much better than Zorin but then again, he had much less competition in opponent's backup PG. He has DR 12, but didn't drive much and ended up taking a lot of 3s, hitting 3 of them.

Conclusion:

Even if your player's JR is bad, he will still take a lot of 3s if he's chosen by GE as the go-to guy.
He won't drive a lot even if he has better DR than shooting.
If you have two equally good players, GE will distribute shots among them based on what the opponent's defensive player looks like for each of those two players of yours.
HA and PA is very important and you can get a lot of fouls off of this.
In this game, PG: HA 12, PA 11
SG: HA 11, PA 10
SF: HA 13, PA 12

I sitll have to try Patient with a SG on PF or C spot.
