I noticed for my next cup game (which I use for training mostly) that all starting player are great at jump shots. What tactic should I use to get out the best of that fact? Thanks!

I'd recommend motion. But since it is a slow pace you also need some good handling and passing skills to avoid turnovers.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

fi though you need more passsing and handling, with fast pace to avoid turnovers?

But a good gameflow gives you better shooting oppurnuties, which makes it more unlikely that he gets trouble with the shot clock.

with fast pace the ball is in your position shorter a time each attack. there is less handling and less passes, and your players will shoot earlier.
This means that there is less chance to lose the ball.

If you however have good handling and passing skills you can afford to take more time to dribble and pass the ball untul you found the right shooter to pull off qulitatively better shots. There is more handling and passing, but due to the fact your players are good at it they won't give up the ball easy.

If you come closer to the shotclock ending however, with slow pace, if they haven't reached their good shot yet, they tend to get nervous and shoot anyway, which result in a qualitatively less good shot.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Motion is a normal pace. And there was a change in engine so not everything have to be the same again i.e. maybe turnovers in different paces are more balanced now, maybe not.

Well we'll see after 15 minutes. I was thinking Base Offense but I gave Motion just to see what will happen. It's a game against a bot but I will play with just the six worst players and PIC.

I don't know if the tactic helped me. I had a lot of three points as if I played Run and Gun (15 - 33). I guess it was because my Outside Scoring was much better than the Inside. Also the Turnovers were just six.
