Doesn't surprise me. Lots of props to you and your 3-2 paving the way for quite a few American owners on the offsite considering it more often, including efforts on the u21 and nt front. Presumably you've also shown many nationals in your home country the same promise of a 3-2.

Nothing about your run surprises me. You 3-2'd most teams who could only keep their Assist rations on the PG's in a good spot. Looking back at some of the teams on 'relatively' equal terms, looks like you had silly OD ratings (high 11 through low 14's mostly). You also surmised by the looks of things that a 3-2 wouldn't work against Spartak_Plovdiv.

Given what i've tested, most teams prefer not to train passing as high as some other skills. Most tend to prefer OD > PA > JR (not Hrudey though). Because of this, most teams at best have 1 guy responsible for flow, and it means a 3-2 can likely squeeze the rest into low assists higher turnovers, and most importantly more contested shots than they would've had against a man to man defense.

I ended up among the top 32 teams in B3 back in S27 using only the 3-2 zone against any type of offense.

Bad idea.

Yes because all you can do is play LI and m2m, otherwise you are a silly manager who just got lucky.......

Nah, you can beat LI m2m with other tactics, just your team need to be stronger 2 times, to get an close win.
Or you need to put some magic in the game, with some rotations and crazy moves. But not all can play on that lvl.

Btw if anyone just turn on his logic, playing an 3-2 zone vs an inside tactic has no sense.

I would just recommend the guy to play m2m, it's the best defense tactic in the game atm in my opinion.

Your opinion is fine but a comment like "bad idea" is sort of generic and quite likely to provoke a response like the one from Manon.

I like 3-2 though (90528210) just as an example...

Your Inside Defense was low, and he had only 8 TO's (edited). You won that game because your team was better basically eheh.
I could also put here a game against a IV division team, where I play 2-3 against Outside Ofense and win

You have examples for every tactic beat an other tactic, but in general, m2m is the most used defense tactic for a reason on BB.

Well, I'm not saying 3-2 can't be good against Inside. But like LA-King said, it's hard to look at a game without all the factors. Players skills, enthusiasm, etc.
But on that game I see that you have the advantage with GDP, and your Inside Defense was only 10 low. He had 13 TO's, not bad...but you also had 13 TO's vs man to man eheheh.
