Princeton doesnt have lots of ball movement... its is just passing it inside to your post player and let them make something happens, if they get double team, they would cheese it outside for the 3pt shooters lining up.

and what is inside isolation? the isolation your describing is outside isolation.

I know it's a bit off topic, but can you guys actually choose those tactics? Everytime I choose the new tactics it changes it to Base offense.

It's the same with the new defensive tactics. Instead of Box and one it switches to Man to Man, whenever I choose the new constellation.

Ah, so you can't choose it as standard?

hmm, maybe that's the issue. But why can't we set it as standard?

it appears strong. here is a match i used it in (29689431)

against a bot team anything is strong...

bots... and at least against a even or a stronger team...

What is Princeton exactly??

Princeton is a slow outside focused offense with some peculiarities. You can think of it as the outside focused, slower version of Inside Iso. Basically, you want good passing and jumpshooting Big Men and good three-point shooting perimeter players. The offense starts by the PG passing the ball to the C in the high key. The C then either gets a JS or has the offense collapse on him, in which case he kicks the ball out. Alternatively, the ball is passed from the Guard to a Wing player, who drives to the basket for an easy layup. Very good ball movement and good jump-shooting (both C and PF will settle for about twice as many JS as in other offenses, and the perimeter players will get more 3s) are absolutely necessary.
I would say that Princeton is the hardest offense for a team to master, as every player has to fit the system and be very balanced, but it might very well be the most dangerous one if a team is able to execute it. Recently, inthe NBA , Princeton has been played by the Houston Rockets.
