If you don't have great outside fenfenders that you can trust om playing man to man, 3-2 will do the trick.-

No, but if you have more depth than your opponent it isn't horrible... it has its place.

A situation like this: (36137897) vs. a DII playoff team (longtime former NBBA team). Look at how badly I lost in the matchup ratings! (especially since i played RNG without any shooting...) Yet won by 23 points. Better than when I used "normal" tactics vs. him & only won by 9 points -- despite 22 more rebounds.

Full Court Press is the worst defense in most cases..

I wouldn't have outscored him by 25 points in the 4th quarter with a 2-3 zone! also, it amazingly kept my players from fouling! i know it's just one game, but i have 11 foul quarters sometimes. So only 14 fouls for the game is outstanding for me. I've even won a couple DIII playoff games only because of FCP. (vs. a team with much higher salaries i would otherwise have lost to).

is full court press the best defense against run n gun?


If you have weak inside def, weak rebounding, weak stamina and/or opponent has great passers (offensive flow) - then NO. But you can experiment against various opponents in friendlies to get a good feel when does it work.

You produced great team ratings despite the fact FCP lowers your ratings, so your case may not be representative. It's certainly very useful against a weaker team when you want as much point difference as you can. Against a stronger team, FCP is horrible.

So I'd advise either M2M or 3-2. If your C is very good rebounder (certainly better than his) and your PF doesn't have atrocious OD, I'd go even with 1-3-1.
