To all those that rank Princeton high up, I'd be very grateful if you could help me understand how it works and how to get the most out of it

Excellent passing among PG/SG, your SF and PF need good passing too, around 10-12 preferably.
Good junpshot but also decent range, your PF will shoot more 3’s (at least for me. SG and SF still shoot way more), your C will shoot the odd 3 too.
Basically good passing and range is a good start. driving and dribbling are also important, also ont forget JS.

The offense runs through the PF primarily. So I'd say as much PA as you can get at that position will be most beneficial. I've had PFs with 15 and 19 PA and that really unlocked abilities of the tactic even more.

You will want the best shooting at the PG and SG positions. This includes having JR, however it's not as crucial as I used to think for the position. Along with that you will want high DR and HA because your guards will still go inside for layups. Usually these looks are off the pass from your big man.

As for the C position, they will do a combination of inside and outside shots. So you will want a guy that can hit a JS, but also go inside and get a layup or dunk.

As for the PF, definitely want a great combination of outside shooting, inside shooting, and passing.

Your offensive flow was inferior to their OD (only 13 assists), and together with the fast pace this caused your guards to take bad shots early on the clock - a text book example for when not to use fast non-inside tactics, sorry to say.

Against a good OD, the only thing worse than a contested outside shot is an uncontested one.

What means "repositioned" shooter?

What means "repositioned" shooter?

For example, you put your SG (best shooter of the team) on Center position and play patient.

how often does LI lose to other tactics at the top level, predicted or not and how do the other tactics do under the same evaluation.

i'll just add one thing on this part
LI does not lose to another offensive tactic as it goes up against defensive tactics.

if a team A plays LI and m2m and the opponent (team plays OI and 2-3 , team A lost, but the offensive tactic lost to the 2-3 zone.

i know it seems like i am nitpicking your statement but the conclusion should be read differently.

the best offensive tactics are not better as one is more resource demanding than another, but defensive tactics are the true indicator of what offenses work the best.
unfortunately, good OD offsets almost completly outside tactics. if you have od 10on big men you could care less what the other team is playing (RnG Motion Patient or whatever)
wheas inside tactics require not only id but also SB, also some OD on the opposing passer and it is harder to stop.


i think a solution to this would be either to nerf OD to loosen up outside tactics effectiveness, or bump up SB/ID to offset inside offenses

so by *your* understanding of *my* reasoning, if an opponent has OD 6 and ID 12, you would still attack inside because LI is the bast and that is your best skillset.


as for can't win w defence. maybe ask your self if you understand game mechanics when a lucky fan comes into the game and scores agains od 17.

as for comparing offenses just among themselves, all i can say is like if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, DEFENSE will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
