I can see that inside isolation could be a success. However, I tried to follow the above example, and played the players out of their natural positions. So far I did not have any fortune yet. Any idea for inside isolation? Improve inside scoring skills or driving skills?

Two defeats for me against strong teams:
(58793842) and (56322931)

Besides the offence strategy, shall I try to use outside box and one as well?


Everyone has tried playing players out of of their more natural positions and almost everytime people have had disappointing results. You would think that you're creating mismatches on offense but the game engine rarely seems to agree.

But it's hard to tell you what offense to play without seeing all of your player's skills, I would just keep experimenting but you'll likely come to the same conclusion that most people have. LI for an inside offense and Motion for an outside offense.

I think high DR and decent IS players can do pretty well in this offense. THe thing though is that it doesnt fully isolate one player like we perhaps think it should. It tries to find him and if he doesnt have a good shot he will pass it to someone else with better looks.
It is a offense that will involve pretty much all your team and that needs pretty good PA on all of your players.


I am a little more confused than I was before. I ran it finally in my PL game this week and set up my lineup intentionally to ensure that my trainee Henry Busch was the best inside scorer - and he did end up taking a lot of shots, but surprisingly he had almost no assists despite pretty serviceable passing, and a different trainee ended up being the guy who ended up with the most assists. (58761990) I can't really draw a lot of conclusions yet since I was facing a particularly awful SF, but the passing/handling/driving all around seems to be effective in this offense just like all the others.

Yup, playing players out of their natural positions is hard to win, especially the offence, Centre/PF is lack of JR, so they would be shut down easily; whereas SG and SF might not be strong at IS, so they might rely on long range shots.

No luck so far. However, I would try to swap one position (put SG into PF position) and see whether I can find some lucks next time.

It's difficult to win the game against strong teams.
