How about removing the 3-2 zone?

I'm not sure if BB can separate mid-range shots and three-pointers, nor do I know if we have a way to control the ratio of mid-range to three-point attempts.
It seems like creating a new 3-2 zone might be challenging.

Why not just use the 1-3-1 zone instead?
At least its inside defense is weaker than the 3-2 zone, and it sacrifices rebounding.
I guess this should be more balanced than the current system.


Remark: Or, how about renaming the 3-2 zone and making both perimeter defense and inside defense neutral, similar to man-to-man, effectively turning it into a zone-based version of man-to-man?

How about removing the 3-2 zone?


I'd also suggest removing the basket from basketball and just have guys run around with a ball.

All jokes aside, I'd prefer the idea of having even more defensive options like in the real game (Triangle-and-2, Square or Diamond variants of Box-and-1, half court pressing or flashing etc). Nonetheless, with each tactic having glaring weaknesses (GL using Triangle and 2 vs a good outside scoring team, and baseline cuts and drives vs a 3-2, low post to high post cuts and wing/corner 3's threat vs a 2-3 zone...).

Like how in offense, Passing becomes an even more important skill for tactics like Princeton, the game engine needs some potential revamping concerning how defensive values or defensive tactics deal with Driving, Shooting, Passing (Positioning perhaps as well). Which would give an greater incentive to scout the performances of other peoples games. Should I use an appropriate defense vs a team that seems to drive well to the basket, but shoot poor wide-open outside shots? Should I abstain from going a 2-3 zone because their PF seems to be chucking 3's non stop?)

Obviously, difficult to implement a rather intuitive game through mathematical equations.
