last time there was a survey champion poll, where outside isolation was mentioned quite often. Also a team in my league played it a while, with good to ok results for their roster.

Outside isolation is a bit like hybrid between Base offense and Push the ball...It's funny that we already have a real ISO tactics in Patient.

in my experience it was more outside focus then the both base offense but you are right patient work much more like a iso.

I agree with that, but when the new tactics were announced I thought that:

1) isolation would be the tactics suited for teams with players with high driving despite of every other skill;
2) it would be the correct offensive pick for teams that wanted that its only very good (inside or outside) shooter would make most of the shots.

But it doesn't seem the way isolation works. As you LA-Koperboy pointed, isolation is much of a hybrid between other previously existent tactics, which doesn't add much to the game. But perhaps I'm completely wrong.

I was excited too, how Bern said.

But I understand something about the two tatics, and I used them in much times in this season.

Box-and-One for me It's a species of 1-3-1 defense for Outside attack. If you have a poor outside, and You're sure that the other team is better in that attack and It will play in Outside, I use Box and One defensive in Outside, but how we have 1-3-1, most reliable, I don't use much and I think that nobody use in these terms.

How we don't have a defense as 1-3-1 in Inside, the Box-and-one in the inside can be a species of a better defense in Inside.

Isolation isn't all how much people think. My Outside is very good, and I've used in a other game, but the attacked much in the Inside and I lost.

I'm not sure about it, I'm yet looking for more answers but these are the most acceptable.

Why do you like the isolation offenses and dislike the box and one defenses?

I'm disappointed with the zone defenses in general because post players are found out of position defending on the perimeter far too often. The outside box-in-one does not always match your best outside defender against the opponents outside threat, even when they play the same position. That isn't to say it is an ineffective defense, nor that I am disappointed to have the option; but the simulation does not yet do a great job of rendering positional defense the way it should be played. It has more the feel of kids that know basically where to stand in a zone during practice, but all bets are off once the ball gets into the half-court.
