What about against a zone def?

If inside shot does matter for guards it really sucks to train outside players cause just about everything seems to be important.

This is one of those questions that I wish the BB's would just quickly answer.

If inside shot affects layups for guards, that really really sucks. What's the point of having good driving if the guy can't make the layup?

Players with good driving could still kick the ball out to a teammate if they have good passing. But if you have bad passing and bad inside shot, well then yeah, you're screwed.

think about Tony Parker and Nate Robinson..
both of them can drive the ball well but only one of them can finish very hard lay-ups..
driving gives the player better opportunities for a shot, which means better percentage but it is nothing without IS and JS skills..


That's one interpretation, but isn't necessarily the way the game engine is coded. To really know, I'm guessing we're going to have to have input from a BB...

IS matters for the guards but so does ID..
you don't have to train it because there are not many guards with good ID skills..
if you play "look inside" or "low post", your guards will get inside many times..
zone defense does not change anything, still PG defends PG, SG defends SG..

I doubt it. What's the point of running a zone defense, then?

don't you watch your games man..?
3-2 gives a boost to your outside defense rating and 2-3 vice versa..
but if you watch the game you can see that your players are still playing man-to man..
have you ever seen a center blocking a guard..?

Having thought about it for a bit, I think that the phenomenon you mentioned (where the opposing position player guards every time) is down to the way the match viewer displays actions. I think that in the game engine, the defensive ability of the opposing player is important, but that other factors (such as if there's a zone) come into play.

I would be truly shocked if they programmed it in such a way that something like zone defense had no effect.

guys,

i just read that the back court cannot be trained IS,

but we are talking about lay ups and connection to IS. i dont get the point of talking about it if we cant train it.

the only way now to get them to improve is to train them in rebounding or maybe Inside defense. ( the way im reading the threads it seems so)

it just complicates things, i think there should be a clear understanding as to what driving and inside shot has connection from the bb.

because if you sum driving and inside shot has a relation but for example his driving is strong and inside shot is atricious then your saying his a natural slasher but cant finish at all? imagine how good he pass by his opponent but cant get it down? wow!! this is giving me a headache.
