I don't think there is a match, on a high level, that 2-3 zone works better than M2M against LI. That is quite clear from any B3 match in the last 5 seasons.

Unfortunately we are stuck in LI / M2M for seasons. The sad truth.

True but It is also important for new users to understand that M2M is better than 2-3 zone at a higher level so that when they themselves reach their desired goals at being in the top leagues, they don't base it off their past games and experiences and play 2-3 instead of M2M. Of course that is just my opinion on the matter.

I dont think M2M is always clearly better. I dont like 2-3 but its still used at the very highest level, the NT level, to some success. Canada beat the USA on equal effort in the Worlds this year playing LI/2-3 vs our LI/M2M. If Canada had played M2M i dont think they would have wont that game.

That's the problem with many teachers, not only in Buzzerbeater but in the real world too. They lack empathy and only teach thinking in their own mindset, instead of figuring out how their students think and help their thinking/solution process in their situation.

I think what everyone reading this thread needs to think about is this section that i'm bolding of your post.

I don't think there is a match, on a high level, that 2-3 zone works better than M2M against LI. That is quite clear from any B3 match in the last 5 seasons.

Very few are at that level in this game. And i actually think that even on a high level there are games when a 2-3 zone may work better then m2m. You'll need the right conditions for it though.


Just because something is the right / wrong tool for one person's job doesn't mean it's right or wrong for someone else. A restaurant owner can certainly justify purchasing high quality top of the line food preparation equipment, and while that may be the best thing for the job it doesn't mean I'm going to run out and buy that for my house. Competing in the B3 is that five star restaurant, where the margin for error is so thin and the expenses are so high that any deviations from the typical strategy are so risky that nobody will do them unless they're shown to be successful, which of course turns the chicken and egg question into an omelet.

The conditions for the 2-3 do exist, though - just that it's not for "shutting down" an inside offense so much as increasing the rebounding to prevent so many offensive boards.
