Thanks a lot

I'll try run and gun it on Saturday's league match (I'm playing a weak team)

Good luck to you.

Let us know how it works out, won't you?

ofcourse

maybe an other thing to think about.
As I understand it the game engine looks for shotoportunities, the fact that your players took so long to get a shot (many times near the shot clock) is something I don't understand (I also didn't look at your match and tactics (maybe you played patient?, dunno).
What I do understand is that once the chance for a shot arises, it is taken by the player, and then a calculation is made to see if he scores. If you are better, if you player is better, then lets say you should roll a 4 or more on a 20 sided die in order to score, 3 or less, and the defence stops you. Now the more rolls you make, to more likely it will get that you average out on making 17 out of 20 shots, BUT every time the die needs to be roled, and believe me, I can roll 3 or less prety often with a 20sided die...
My point is, if you take an overall of all matches over a whole season, it will be prety close to the numbers you deserve to get, but 1 game can always go wrong in one way or another...
If you keep being puzzled by your results, you should start thinking about solutions, if it only hapens once in a season, I don't think you're doing anything wrong...

Thanks for your answer.
I've played base offense on that match.
The opponent was the worst human team on my league, which even gets kicked by the worst bots (hope he doesn't reads this...).
That is why I started this thread, as my team usually scores much better against much better teams.

Looks like the Run & Gun worked pretty well. You shot nearly 46% from the field, and over 38% from 3-pt range (an improvement over the previous 35% from the field and <17% from 3pt range). However, you did match up against an opponent with complete crap perimeter defense, which always helps.

Yea, he does have a very bad perimeter defense.
I was also very happy that my players took 104 shots instead of the 80 in the last game, and the 8 TOs.
I wanted to send an update on my findings after my important match tomorrow against the league leader, I plan to play Push the Ball (hope he won't have time to read this...).
This would give us a much better indication regarding the influence of higher pace for teams with low offensive flow, like my team.

Pushing the ball seemed to work!
I've played against the only undefeated team in my series, and beat them by 16!
I've lost many balls, but my players took many shots, without shot clock problems, and scored marvelously...

Wow. You did remarkably well considering how much your team fouled (and how well your opponent shot FTs). That aside, you finally had a test against a decent perimeter defense, and came out on top.

Push the Ball was likely a better choice in this scenerio than Run & Gun, too; as you had only a minor advantage in rebounding (even against his FCP).

Good job

The foul trouble was really strange. 5 players with 5 fouls. I've never had such a problem before.
all my players are respctable or average in their sector defense. strange

I haven't quite figured out the foul thing either. It seems my good defenders foul quite a bit. I play my brother's team in scrimmages, and we're trying to figure this out as well, since we keep each other updated on player skills. No results yet.
