I'll add my observation. Each tactic takes into consideration player's best skills. For example, LI: If your player has better DR than PA, he will drive more and pass less.
Same with Princeton or Motion: If your player has more JR, he will shoot from bigger distance. If he has much more JS than JR (for example, 17/10), he will try more midrange jumpers.

So a lot depends on players' builds. I've seen a lot of Motion games where players shot a lot of 3s. Then I saw a lot of Motion games where players didn't shoot 3s at all, or had the same number of attempts as in LI for example. In some games, PG took most shots. In others, it was PF. You can really change the tactic itself with how you build your players. Take two different teams, play same tactics and the outcome will differ a lot between those two teams.

You don't have to be sorry when opposing me Olanipekun. I clearly stated I have no hard core data. Just thoughts and observations. I do however agree with Koperboy when he says the tactic bends towards your strengths. The Princeton you describe is also the way a team built for RNG would operate. Well you would be correct in saying that a RNG team playing Princeton would struggle against a 1-3-1 or a 3-2. If you explore my written thoughts I elude to a more passing and handling team operating the offense with less jr might eat up the soft spots in the 3-2 zone. I don't know for sure but I have seen what Koperboy stated where different builds operate differently within offenses and a different lineup within the same team can totally change a look of an offense.

I can agree with this. I ran Motion a lot in the past, and now I run more LP. I have noticed that my PG with 11 JS/JR attempts way more 3s than anyone on my team. In comparison, I have guards with 10 JS/6 JR, 10 JS/5 JR, 11 JS/7 JR. In fact, last season my PG was 41-128 from three, while the others were 15-60, 7-31, and 21-66. This season I have run LP for the most part, and my PG has gone 5-23. The others have so far has produced 3-16, 0-8, and 5-18. Does anyone know if a change in tactics can affect a player's three point shooting?

I am sure this is true, as my players don't have enough HA/DR/PA imo. Could their +10 JS be a factor?
