thank you , im glad someone knows what they are talking about, people ask for answers , and the only way to ensure they get those answers is to be brutally honest. Full court press is good in real life , but sadly in this game you are signing your own death warrant if you play this tactic

Just to back my point up I used FCP (all against Push the Ball) in these games: (42765846), (42765815), (42765695), and (42731005). The last one was in last year's championship.

Now look at the difference when I played it against Look Inside (45779568).

Summary: FCP works great against Push the Ball...against anything else not so sure.

Thanks for giving me a legitimate answer and not some bs answer like Daniel..

actually Daniel was right..
it has been 19 seasons and there is no single guy managing to make this defense work..
still some theories are flying around..
i don't think you will succeed even with 20 OD - 20 ST on all five positions..
M2M is much better in any case..


FCP does seem to do nicely when playing against a severely overmatched team, if you're looking to boost point differential. But against opponents with a pulse, it's difficult to imagine a scenario where it is worthwhile - if you can win with FCP, you would win with M2M, and if you can lose the game at all, you probably can lose it most spectacularly with FCP.

HA is so high because it is trained as a secondary to so many types of trainings, which is unfortunate.

Actually, FCP doesn't work with slow offenses in my case............look at Tuesdays game..........played Playoff Normal against their PCT and still managed to keep it exciting..........loss still, but still good.
I played; Low Post, 3-2 zone
They played; Motion, FCP

in reality FCP have quite a lot variances, and in my eyes the FCP here is the extreme form you play normally in the last minute when you either foul or steal.

But FCP during the normal match is not really so much after the steal, it is more disturbing the offense of the opposition already in there court where is it usual that it take 5s till there are on the other side, and then you switch to a normal D.

About getting higher PD against weak teams, imho they score still to much it is nice to boost your stats with extra Steals and maybe 10-20 points more but for the PD i believe man to man is better.

If the other team has players that can handle the ball (and most good teams do), they will typically tear FCP apart. Personally, I would completely avoid it.

That said, I don't think that was your biggest problem in game 1. You played on the road, played normal to your opponents crunch and still only lost by 12. That's a reasonable result considering those 2 factors.

Still, I would switch to man to man, especially if you're not sure what offense your opponent is going to play. It's the safest defense to match up with.
