ok i understand what your saying but i think it would be a good idea to be able to tell my whole team no 3s

But shouldn't my players be able to know that, and play off your guards so that they won't be able to drive or pass as well? And perhaps your players will take some poorer shots.

Just play "Low Post" or "Look Inside" - in my last two playoff games I have played Look Inside, and both times my team only hoisted up 7 three-pointers out of a total of 99 shots taken (strange that the number of threes and number of shots taken were identical two games in a row, but whatever).

Cs and PFs need to be throwing up the treys like everybody else when they get the open shot. In the past few months both Hibbert and Duncan have won/saved games by putting up the three

But those guys have jump shots that would probably be at least respectable in the game engine, as opposed to a player like Ben Wallace, who technically takes the 3 sometimes, but only 27 times his entire career.

Obviously I can't argue that the game engine is perfect or that the players always act rationally. However, since the original question was how to get your C or PF to stop taking 3s, my point was simply that if you use an inside focused offense the amount of 3s that your inside players will take is dramatically reduced.

Do BB Cs and PFs hoist up the 3 more often than in real life? Probably (my stud C put up 7 this year, making 0). However, I think teams running outside focused offenses need to be prepared for their C and PF to shoot from beyond the arc more often than they would otherwise prefer.

But as long as we're being nitpicky, Wallace has taken 43 treys, making 5, over the course of his 12 years in the NBA.
