My team can run basically every single offence. Every one of my starters can pass and score but I have pretty bad stamina, about inept-mediocre. I will likely play against a team that will run FCP in the Finals so I was wondering what could I do to counter that? That team is quite successful with FCP too, getting around 25-30 steals per game. Thanks for your help!


Assuming your opponent will play FCP...
FCP drains stamina so you'll be balanced in that section. At least. Also, FCP decreases inside def and rebounding. Considering that you have really great centers, I would attack him under the rim with look inside for example. He has some nice centers too but also some nice outside players. So considering his ratings I think he's experimenting. :) Start the game with outside players with higher handling and passing. 3-2 zone for example...

PLay at pg the better handlers you've got and run a fast pace offense: rng or push the ball.

but wont a fast paced offense give him some nice and juicy balls to steal??
I think that a slow paced offense is a better option against a team using FCP coz the players will be careful while passing the ball and hence the opponent will get less chances of stealing the ball....

There was a thread a while back that heavily debated whether it was better to use fast or slow tactics against FCP. Don't think there was a consensus reached.

FCP is the best tactic against bot, I used it and got a great margin.
I believe that there's an ungoing and never ending debate about pace...

Slow paced offenses need better handling. For countering FCP, you also need good handling. So if your handling is really great, I guess slow offense is good against FCP. But if your handling is average or worse, I think slow paced offenses will just give more opportunity to your opponent to steal the ball.

logic is simple; the longer you play with the ball, the higher possibility of giving it away..

check what BB-Charles said about this years ago -> (55427.2)

"..In the current game engine, a slower-paced offense involves more dribbles and passes, and therefore there are more chances to turn the ball over, leading to more turnovers.."


but they adjusted it also basing of logic, that an patient offense(i mean not the tactic) will include less risky choiches so that fast paced tactic are more TO proone within the same time. In the end i don't see differences betwen them, but most to against an FCP are in the beginning where a slow offensiv handles the ball safer.

I agree, but i experienced that slower offense helped me closing the gap against better teams, and got better reuslts against worst teams with faster pace.
