I don't think patient should only be played if someone is extremely desperate or extremely sure to win! It's also good for close games, if the opponent has like 2-4 star players and the rest is crap, but you need offensive flow to bring the ball to the right players.

To your game (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/38851590/boxscore.aspx). Your PF had the best match-up and the ball went to him for 18 shots (50% of the shots went in), thats not enough. Your offensive flow was way to low compared to his outside defense rating to bring the ball to your PF more often to take a good shot. Your PG is actually a SG and has probably not very much passing compared to your opponents outside defense. So when he got the ball he wasnt able to find the PF and took the shot himself. His shooting and driving skills were to low to harm the opponents defense by taking the shot himself. Compared to real life your PG got trapped and couldnt escape the trap by passing nor by driving. The only opporunity was to take a horrible shot.

I think, the game would have been much closer if you played with a real PG with high passing.

Best regards,

heres my game.. every one. i gave this team it only lost of the yr in my league so paitent worked. i did stamina training before this game along with game shape the week before that. I wanted to see if it would work and paitent works like a charm all need is 2 high shooting players at sf and sg and very good passing pg. although his best player got 20 reb 22 pt. I think my pf did well in holding him to that lol.. and put a double doulbe of his own.

My sg really went to work on them. i knew his team would not stop my sg or sf( becuase my sf was the league leading scorer last yr lol).It was pick your poision type of thing lol.. But i do recommend playing this and it will work for you vs a strong team but you need very good shooter anf a very good pf or at least one that can battle the best player of the other team..

I also recommend doing some stamina and game shape training leading up to this game becuase you will need it, trust me.

I've played Patient 3 times in competitive league games. My main players shot 8-31, 5-25 and 10-32 respectively. My team's overall FG% did not exceed 35%.
If your opponent is strong defensively with better OF, Patient is a terrible offense to choose.

I have some questions regarding using your PG on the C position in Patient. Please only anwser me if you actually have experience with using Patient this way.

How effective is the 3-2 zone work against Patient with PG on C?

Does your C/PF playing on the PG position has to have high passing if you want this tactic to work?

yes i also found out if have a pg with hi pasing and some what of good jp and jr. also some rebounds.. which alot dont do for pg's,, but i do them for mines. You can get a triple double.. my pg has gotten like 2 or 3 triple doubles so far.. but you have to play the match setting as the highest level . whoich lower enthusaiam or how ever you spell it. lol

I can run paitne on defense 3-2 zone will not work if the back court pg and sg have high reb. the defense will collaspe I itear team to shred with Pat vs any def becuase i have hi passing and doing reb in my guards. lol.. My pg and sg are get 5.4 reb a game a piece. i think ps is getting like 4.1 or something like a game somethimes he has 6-7reb with 10 ast and 11 pts..a game
