OK, now I see your point. However shot blocking is also defence skill and affects rating after match. According to stoping LI - shot blocking may be the solution. Nobody check it yet :) So it's not appropriate to say 2-3 is not working.

And on the flip side, everyone trains the OD in guards to such a high level that opponents can't make 3-pointers either.

True, but I still have 19-20 in ID but the LI tactic beat them, even if I play M2M or 2-3..

I don't like this, but the engine work on that way...

This is where we hold them!

Apparently it's not the game engine that's the problem but in the builds that have been trained. The BB's have stated that the way to counter LI is with a 2-3 zone AND high shotblocking, not just high ID. You need both.

Unfortunately everyone stopped training SB many seasons ago so finding top players that fit this description is very difficult. In fact, we find that most of the top bigs in BB have IS as their highest (or 2nd highest) primary skill and SB as their lowest, so as a result 2-3 appears to be broken and LI appears to be impossible to stop.

All that said, I still think the BB's could and should tweak the game engine to adapt for this.

So I just went to the transfer wire. I picked Centers/PF's with salaries over $170,000 a week, here were the results.

23/29 had IS as either the top of their 4 primary skills or tied for the top.

28/29 had SB as either the lowest of their 4 primary skills or tied for the lowest.

0/29 times was SB higher than IS with these players.

So basically, it's almost impossible to find out if SB and a 2-3 zone can stop LI offense because you can't currently build that type of team and everyone has already gone overboard on training IS in order to play this offense.

The SB has not so important role like IS, ID, RB, or do you think in another way?

Do you rather have a player with IS 19 and SB 7, or a player with IS 12 and SB 14? Its an easy choice I think.

If you have a strong ID your player don't need to block the shoot, he can defend normal and don't let the offensive player to score.

What I'm trying to say, 2-3 zone should be much more efficiently vs Inside Tactics.. need higher ratings than now in your ID.

This is where we hold them!

Shot Blocking is the future.
Managers in BB need an urgent change of mind.

Hmm have you some arguments?

How good is SB at your 2 C?
