a) 2-3 zone improves the defensive rebounding of all players.

Are you sure about this?

Of course not... how could I be? :)

Edit: but it sounds sensible to me...

Not sure all these discussions belong in this forum... :)

Have you noticed that every single time your players foul, they do it against players playing in the same position? SF against SF, C against C and so forth.
No matter if you play zone or man to man defense. It's like they always play one on one.

This fact makes me believe that, for example, when my SF takes an inside shot, the probability that his shot is successful depends not on the overall inside defense of the opposite team but on the ID skill of the opponent's SF (offensive flow, passing skill, stamina, experience... they also have an influence but let's keep them out for clarity).

That's why I believe that the tactics affect directly the skills of individual players (all or some I would not know).
The game attitude (TIE, CT) used to do the same (according to the news about the game engine changes).

Team skills affect things as well as player skills. In a zone defense, team skills are dominant; the foul is assigned to a particular man, but he had a lot of help (either positive or negative depending upon his skills relative to that of the team) from the rest of the team.
Here's something I don't understand about the zone defense. Why is it that my players only ever foul or challenge the shots of the opposing player in the same position?
