Few seasons ago 2-3 zone was good zone , like others. I can tell you that then I used 2-3 a lot of times. But from few seasons when changes in BB was introduced , 2-3 zone was broken. U can see that on high lvl of games in BB almost nobody use 2-3.
For example look at BBB. Almost all teams use Inside tactics to win games and only few users try to stopped them by 2-3 , but they fail it.
Thats right. It pretty clear, the equation for inside shots involves the variables: passing + driving + inside shot + jumpshot (depending on how far from the basket).
The equation to stop inside shots involves the variables: inside d + shot blocking + a small bit of outside d.
A SF with really good driving and inside shot gets a pass from a high level passer, that is 3 mutipliers against a static inside D + shot blocking.
This happens 3 times, guarenteed 1 or 2 times, the shooter gets a foul and two fts. In my opinion, the driving multiplier is too strong. Its the easiest skill to train. You get level 15 driving on a guard with level 10+ inside shot, and there arent many SF in this game that can stop that guy getting a level 14+ pass and scoring (or getting the foul).
The second problem I have with look inside is that, those teams still get up 2/3 3's a quarter. That is ideal for ANY offense. But when you have the benefit of attacking inside, drawing fouls, and still getting up 3's, it simply makes look inside a tough offense to stop without throwing money at with with 1) a bigger look inside or 2) big time shooters.
when the new engine was introduced, all people was acomplaining that it is impossible to attack inside, it takes quite a while till they was a the point that it is still working(now they say even the opposite!), maybe you should give the 2-3 the same credit because for me it is working pretty well.
