I was wondering what type of inside offense my team should run. I use LP extensively, but was wondering how my team would play in LI. My team's stamina is good for the most part, so that's not an issue. From the time that I have used LP, I noticed that there are more 3s taken than LI (obviously) and more mid-range/outside jump shots. There are some drives taken, but are they relatively close to the amount taken in LI? Are the inside shots taken by the guards and the bigs less than in LI? I just want the breakdown between the differences and similarities between the two offenses. Waiting for the long, insightful posts.
Edit: Will these games be of any help? (46067647) (46067719) (46067751) (46067783) (49081178)

In my opinion I think it comes down to simply if your opponent is better than you or not. If you're better than him then I would go Look Inside but if you think he has an overall better team i would go low post because it slows down the pace of play which tends to favor the weaker team.

Yes, I know, but let's take take out the pace for a second. What are major/minor similarities and differences in each offense, other than the ones that I have stated?

I'd like to see better inside shot and driving on your guards to run look inside. Given your guards' weak inside shot and reasonable passing, you might be best with low post.

How high should DR/IS be on guards whose teams run LI?

I got a similar question about LI or LP so I don't want to open a new thread.

Since I have lost game 1 of the finals vs a 1-3-1 zone which offence is better to run against that type of zone LI or LP? As to supply you more info my team is offside oriented therefore I'd tend to be running LI in order to have also some Jump shot from the middle of the paint, my plan is to play Motion in game 2 again and then try the surprise factor in game 3 with an inside offense tactic.

Is it that idea out of windows ? if you have a better game play feel free to say it I won't get offense at all. ;-)

Thanks beforehand for any help and good BB :-)

If you want to beat his 1-3-1 with an inside offense, LP is the way to go. This will benefit the mold of your team because there are more jump shots and threes taken than in LI.

I believe, according to simulators that I put my teams through, LI puts more weight on DR, whereas LP puts more weight on PA (even with your bigs too).

I almost always buy bigs with high passing, so LP usually gives me slightly higher ratings than LI.

There is the old... "LI is the best offence by a long margin" theory, though.

Yeah, I have noticed the effect good passing has as well. Even some of my bigs with inept or mediocre PA benefited and distributed the ball to everyone. Most of my players had at least 2 assists. (46067719) (46067775) (46067807)

Ok thank you then, I will go with LP and put my PG as a starter, I still don't think is ready for be a starter in a pivotal match like this but at this point I have to take the gamble :-), how many team did win he final after losing 0-1 without HCA?
