Do you mean Low Post? If yes, I would say, that you need a Playmaker with high Passing and even higher Handling skills, a guard and a forward with a high jump shot and driving skill and a Power Forward and a Center with a high Inside Shot.


Just curious as to why you think jump shot and driving are important for an inside offense? I have started thinking along those lines but would be interested to know if you have evidence of this.

For Example: With Team Schweiz (NT) I have much more Inside Scoring with a SG (high jumper, high driving) on SF, as with a PF or C (high inside shot) on SF.
That's the reason, why I prefer a high jumper on SF even when I play Look Inside or Low Post.

Sure, look at salary formula.

I just answered what I prefer at a LI tactic on each position. And therefore JS is very important for PG, SG, SF. ;)

I didn't say JS is not important -- I just said playing LI doesn't necessarily make it more important than usual.


mmh i will agree agree acajou in this case, the JS is the main offensiv weapon in this tactic for those positions and they are still scoring a lot. For outside tactics you need JS and Range to give your players a good scoring package.

Thank you for information. Could you please tell me critical skills for each position to strategy RnG too, please? I just have long range shooters and I am doing well but I want to try 2-point strategies also. Thank you again.

Driving helps you get good inside shots, I think this is pretty much self-explanatory.



If you read the rules verbatim, driving could help any type of shot:

Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a team-mate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.


My preliminary thought is that driving helps a lot under the new engine, especially in a look inside, since it is harder to get good passes into your inside players.

I have also added to that the need for players to have jump shot in a look inside. My analysis so far seems to show that under the new engine, (with all things being equal) about 40% of your shots are short jumpers with another 40% being inside shots. The remaining 10% are long jumpers or 3 point shots (where higher range would be more important).

This is just a preliminary analysis, though and needs more investigation. That's why I wanted to know if Acajou had some evidence for his theory. It is also one of the reasons why I think that a 3-2 zone is currently working better against a look inside offense.
