so JS is a better training since it trains for skills, and OD just 3?

And i am quite sure, that 3-2 reduces your rebounding.

Edit: but with your weird calculation, motion raises mid distance and long distance shots ;) While LI help just close range and rebounding^^

Actually I´d like to "invent" another tactic option considering transition and the team going for offensive rebounds.

Transition Options -

Offensive: Go for the Fast Break whenever possible (downside: worse D rebounding, higher TO rate, stamina use, upside: easy buckets now and then, more assists, more fouls from the defenders but also a higher Charging possibility), Fast Break after a Steal only (no influence on rebounding) , Always Set Ofense (no changes at all, no TO increase).

Defensive: Always go back (higher possibility of stopping opponents fast breaks, decreased offensive rebounding), play the passways (guards / forwards don´t got back at full speed, but try to get a solid mix between going for the rebound and defending the passing lanes), full attack of the board (increased orebounding, but might lead to plenty easy buckets from the opponent).

I think that would probably change the "dominance" of a set tactic since you might be able to get hold of an opponents weakness and exploit it. Look Inside usually means you´re more vulnerable to quick penetration as mentioned before, so the combo of LI and "go for the OReb" against a Zone of some kind with "go for the fastbreak" might lead to a highly interesting tweak in things.

i agree with the offensive rebounding boost by Look Inside and it's a good idea to increase the number of fast breaks against this..
however, we already have fast breaks in this game and they only happen after a steal or after an unsuccessful steal attempt..
a serious engine modification is necessary to include rebounding in this logic..

Agree with that.
Ball on its way

i think we will see many good improvements like "all-time stats" but don't expect an engine modification unless Charles gets back on business..

I sadly agree with that, and hope that it will happen.
Otherwise, this game will not be able to reach its potential, and the BB-community will never top that ~50K users barrier.
