If they are playing M2M you look at their players in the last couple of games and see who is doing the scoring when playing M2M. Then put your defense against who is scoring or getting rebounds. You can see where they play in the match viewer.


If they're (the opponent) playing M2M, woudln't he want to focus on what HIS players are doing?

I think it depends how M2M works.

If you are playing Look Inside does M2M mean you are facing 3 people inside and 2 outside??

I think the "tactics" actually just boost skill levels and M2M boost outside and inside equally (opposed to 3-2 zone which boosts outside more and inside less). I don't think it means actually Man on Man.

What I am saying is that the offensive and defensive tactics are independent of each other.

I mean you are playing Look Inside and your opponent is playing M2M. Re-read my previous post with that in mind

This is what confuses me.

If they are playing M2M, then why does it matter who is doing their scoring?

Wow my brain is dead HAHA

I was writing a reply and now realise how retarded I have become.

You are completely right I am talking about Base Offense there. If they are playing M2M you focus your team on your strengths or if they are consistently good at rebounding then it is better to play 2-3 Zone to counter that.

On another note I think ratings may be a LOT more useful this season so we will see how that all helps in the decision making.
