Ideal would be, that even in a m2m the player would guard the POSITION, not the PERSON. so if there is a sg playing C lingereing around at the 3pt line all the time, you have to make some defensive switches (like in a real m2m) so that he´s not guarded by the slowest and probably least talented guardian out there.

Sure you have to stick to your man IN PRINCIPLE, but after five or six possessions or at least at halftime defense should adjust by switching.

I understand that that's how it works in real life. But in the game engine, it would require some kind of algorithm that would, after a few possessions of mismatches, identify which defensive assignments need to be switched. Or maybe even before the game, the engine can determine which players on the opposing team "look like" PG, SG, etc, regardless of what position they're put in.

In this game in 90% of matches man to man is the best defence. However patient gives you an offence that is bad for man to man and I think that is an important tactical choice. If you are certain your opponent will play patient and run a guard at center for training just play a 3-2 zone and their goose is cooked.

2-1-2???

Please draw me a diagram of this defense, I'm having trouble picturing it. You can also post a youtube video or whatever, just visualise how this defense works.

I would just like to say that tonight in my cup game I will play patient and will enjoy watching every minute of my center putting up 40+ points.

I don't know if I have said this before but I think it is critical to the game.

Your opponent is playing LI, play M2M or maybe 2/3 (risky).
Your opponent is playing LP, play M2M or maybe 2/3 (risky).
Your opponent is playing BO, play M2M.
Your opponent is playing PTB, play M2M.
Your opponent is playing R&G, play M2M or maybe 3/2.
Your opponent is playing Motion, play M2M or maybe 3/2.
But...
Your opponent is playing Patient, play 3/2 or maybe 2/3.


It is the one offence that actually hurts M2M.
