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...

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.

This is where we hold them!

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.

You deduced that a team with outside offense vs outside defense wile defending inside offense with outside defense winning an away game with less effort must be better overall, grats. I am not arguing that.
What you fail to see is what a 3-2 Manon talks about actually does. Its quite obvious you think its about pressure forcing turnovers and reduce offensive flow. Its not. Ist about defending inside shots and reducing shot percentage.

TO is not the same as steals and yes, if that IV league team has equal to better ratings and pp100 than your team then please link that game.

My mother in law always buys items with the lowest number in stock because if many people already bought it, it must be good, right?

Well, ok...I'm just talking about facts here on the link Manon sugested me to check, and giving my opinion lol. Not being disrespectfull to anyone..

On that game I saw Center shooting 11 - 20 and EP 11-18. The guards tho...shot really really bad, and that great. They probable drive the whole game and got the Center blocking/defending them. But again i say, without knowing player skills etc, its harder

Need to test on private leagues eheh

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).


I will point out for the record that what I'm doing is somewhere between foolhardy and criminally insane. And fun, I suppose, if you're into that sort of thing.

And on the topic of zones vs. man to man, I will again point out that if you have aggressive players, the zone may not be right for you: (65823062)

Your Inside Defense was low, and he had only 3 TO's lol. 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


There were 8 TOs, only three steals. There were also 17 blocked shots, which is pretty nice indeed.

I'm not sure it's about how aggressive your players is (89753557). Both C fouled out, main in 10 min, second in 37 , pf 5 fouls. Maybe these fouls result of lack of SB for bigs in zone defense?
