I think you didn't consider that is important to compare attack and defense but is important to consider also the rebounds. I've seen few games won by teams that had a minor percentage of rebounds and following the rules you've better chances to win the rebounds if you play 2-3. I still don't know how much should be the gap between attack and defense to cover the missing rebounds.

Somebody said, the perimeter offense is too weak to hit 3 pointers.. so the tactic was to give them the open shots and it worked quite well...


you got lucky.
if the other team choose an outside attack, and fielded a few players with average jump shot and average shotrange or better (and there are many players around with these abilities) you might have swallowed a decent amount of 3-pointers.
Maybe ho would only get 40%, but still, if he takes 30 shots from outside, sinking 40%, that would be 36 points in 3-pointers.

I would never safely asume that what anyone says in the forums is the truth. I might believe it, and try it out, but I will always have to see for myself before taking it as a truth.
I am not convinced the players at this time are not capable of scoring 3-point shots. I played some outside offense a few times already, and am prety pleased with it...
Especially now that many teams are negecting outside D because there are no shooters yet, there are good possibilities out there...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

You got the 2-3, 3-2 mixed up. A 2-3 is good against a good inside offense and 3-2 is good against a good outside offense.

Some people in this thread believe that 2-3 is good against outside defense.

I'm not one of them by any stretch.

So is it the general impression that 2-3 zone is better for rebounding than Man-to-Man?

If so, something in the Game Engine is screwed up...Man-to-Man should always be better than Zone for rebounding.

Defenders know who they have to block out for a rebound

When a shot goes up, you are supposed to block out. Just who do you
block out? In man-to-man defense, this is easy. It’s the person you are
assigned to guard. As long as you have not lost your person, you know
exactly who you must keep off the boards.

In a zone defense, you’re responsible for an area. So when a shot goes
up, you need to find a person in your area to block out. What if there are 2
people in your area? Then you need to block one out, and hope someone
comes over from another area to help you. If not, it could be an easy
rebound and basket for the other team. If there is no one in your area to
block out, then you need to see what area needs help.
