Well yeah, a player with all 12s would excel at nothing, but the cost of balance is not as high as you make it out to be. There is definitely a possibility that players should at least be more balanced defensively, especially at the forward spots in the 2-3. (2-3 forwards IRL often rotate onto guards and deny entry passes, so OD would theoretically be important)

Yeah, they're different schemes. 2-3s need versatile forwards that can rotate and deny. It shuts down post attacks and dribble penetration, but is vulnerable to outside shooting.

Maybe we need to take a step out of this "2-3 stops inside offense, 3-2 stops outside offense" dichotomy, because it seems to create confusion about what players perform the best in the 2-3.

So the BBs themselves almost never use it, and when they do they lose. I will leave everyone to draw their own conclusion from this.


My team blows and I could use 2-3-3 Zone and it wouldn't matter.

The reason I haven't used it has nothing to do with the game engine, game design, or any other conspiracy theories.

I simply felt it wasn't the best choice to use against my particular opponents.

Now, draw your own conclusion from that.

It seems that the opposing forces in this argument arent that far apart from each other. Some say it is completely broken, while others claim it is merely impractical

I would love to have a player with all skills at 12, however I seriously doubt I would play this player at C, this is a Forward. Building a team specifically to make 2-3 work pretty much means that is what you would be running every game. I dont consider being completely predictable and a one-trick pony a step in the right direction

I see your point, not sure I agree. Teams that operate in the red just to compete is an example. Should we punish those who handle their finances properly by giving a break to poor economic decisions when they run rampant? I get what you are saying about this particular subject, but I dont think it applies across the board. Good managers adapt to the game, not the other way around.
