Can we discuss about the 3-2 Zone glitch. OD is the only factor for preventing open shots, which is very
unrealistic. So teams train mostly OD to get many defended shots -> many SB.
Why ID doesn't count especially for inside shots? Taking ID into account for preventing assists will make 3-2 weaker and upvalue 2-3. This would kill two birds with one stone.

Poll:  Take ID into account for preventing open shots, especially for inside shots.

Good Idea
Bad Idea

There was a discussion about defensive centers (326265.1) before, which might be related to your topic.

And I’m curious how you know that the current game engine works as "OD is the only factor for preventing open shots"?

In this Q&A(s52)(307591.3), BB-Marin said,
Is it true that nominally open outside shots have team rating OD applied to them and if yes, can we do something about it?
Every shot has a team OD rating applied to it, in various degrees. We are currently modifying that and other factors to make the GE more balanced. The new GE should reflect that.
And in this Q&A(323193.80), BB-Justin said,
For Justin and Marin: Is it correct that open outside shots have team rating in OD "applied" to them?...
@The Sentinel and LA-zajino: I won't answer that, but maybe Justin will? I can't stop him!

Team defense ratings affect all shots.
From the answers in the two Q&As, I think OD is not necessarily the only factor preventing open shots
