Another example of stupidity.
Me defending LI with 2-3. His outside shooting is non existent for B3 level, average (average), my outside def is strong (high). Guess what, despite playing LI, he shoots 5/10 on 3pointers (50%!!)
Zommer and Carvalhos shot 5/28 (17%) and 3/27 (11%!!) on 3pts last season. Guess what, they both made 3pointers. I know I played the zone and players do switch, but those 2 guys (playing on pg/sg) originally were defended by my pg/sgs with 20 and 21 OD.
When I play LI or LP I usually have 0 made 3pts with higher outside offence against not that great opponents outside defence. Hard to explain
Even if you look at my opponents previous B3 game. his inept outside offence rating provided 3/11 3pointers against opponents prominent outside defense. In my case I would have gone 0-15 in the same situation i guess

I think lucky factor was their overall rating advantage. On my side, I was defending their LI with 2-3 zone. Considering our offense and defense and the tactics we used, it was pretty much equal strength. Even talking about ratings, 5/10 3 pointers doesnt make sense at all with his outside scoring rating. As to PP100, only position he had advantage was PF, 1-3 positions his PP100 was lower than mine (on SF it was almost same) and on C he had a slight advantage, almost the same here as well.
72:65 with 2:13 remaining and 0:10 rest of the game, great. Also my PF with 0-11 fg is just funny, yes he got exhausted in 4th quarter but he was 0/7 or 0/8 even before that when he's shooting around 60%+ in league and NT as well. Oh, and 6 missed FTs as well, the lowest ft rating for my player was 15 on 1 player, the rest had 19 in ft.
I've lost much worse and painful games than this, no problem with that but it is outside tactics that drives me crazy I cant figure out. I thought 18/12, 20/12 JS/JR wasnt that great and got 26/20 guy that also didnt deliver for half of the season. I dont know, i want to make my offense diverse, but it is painfully hard to make it work most of the time when using outside tactics

First of all this isnt real life basketball games. But even considering your point, I've had lots of players with different builds, but outside shooting always was too strange for me no matter the players. My other players (not the one with 26/20 js-jr) have way too high inside scoring, and more than enough passing also, but problem remains the same. And i dont think inside scoring has to do anything with 3pt shooting and its %

Isolation Offences are classed as Balanced Focus.

But why it is balanced focus when it is INSIDE isolation??? It has to be inside focus I think. Or the focus depends of the players which shoot - inside players or outside players?!
