i don't think i can comment that specifically without setting off a wave of speculation that something will be changed, and I don't feel like i have nearly enough information to make such a pronouncement.

I see, but PLEASE do something quickly, because the situation is awful (medium) :)
Till last season there were only two (winning) offensive options, r&g and look inside... now there seems to be only one left.

By the way, are you sure there ain't some sort of bug with the 3-2 against look inside? These two are from today, but I have seen too many alike. (17504667), (17504577).
I can understand that the 3-2 zone forces more TO, but the shooting percentage should definitely be higher.

In both matches that you quoted, the offensive flow of the team playing look inside was only inept. I think that is the source of the problem that you are describing. I noted that the players who should have had high shooting percentages (the PF and the C) both had shooting percentages around 50%, which is pretty good. The issue was that the guards took most of the shots, and they had really bad shooting percentages.

The moral of the story is: get a bettter offensive flow.

Exactly what newchuckd said. Inside men are still shooting great, thus Look Inside is still a great tactic, you'll just need the guards to get the ball to the inside men.

If the guards can't bring the ball on the spot, then your inside men are useless.

Another look inside vs. 3-2 zone, this time with respectable offensive flow (7959)
Shot distribution:
PG 17 (19%)
SG +-21 (23%)
SF +-20 (22%)
PF 19 (21%)
C 14 (15%)

You may be on to something on this game but I will note that it is against a proficient outside d (yikes). The other thing to think about, is what is the passing/handling of the SG and SF from Australia? How did it match up against the outside d of their opponent?

By the way, I don't think it is the 3-2 zone that is the issue. It is the level of outside d. I have seen this type of thing again a man-2-man, too, provided the defending team had high levels of outside d vs the flow of the other team.

It is also worth noting that it was on a look inside. Do you see the same thing vs a low post? Is pace having some effect here?

i think proficient OD with 3-2 isn't that good, where a 7 in Flow is more then solid ... To match that up is very hard till imposiible, and in this case the 3-2 is maybe the better inside blocker then 2-3 which struggles against midrange jumps even against LI or LP teams.

So we should play 3-2 instead of 2-3 against inside teams? 3-2 zone seems to have too much advantage.

Maybe under the old engine but not the new one, it seems. Again, I do not think it is the 3-2 zone that is the issue. It is the level of outside d that matters.

Also, I don't mind discussing this on a global ratings level, on the other hand the individual match-ups are also very important. So if you stick a guy at SF who has respectable passing/handling vs a SF with tremendous outside d, you are still in trouble, even if your global flow rating is high (this is how I am understanding it, anyways).

Finally, I really wonder if pace is having an impact here. Is anyone observing the same weird shot distribution with a low post? Just curious.

To match that up is very hard till imposiible, and in this case the 3-2 is maybe the better inside blocker then 2-3 which struggles against midrange jumps even against LI or LP teams.


I think that the best inside "blocker" is still man-2-man, provided that you can put up high enough outside d. 3-2 zone gives up too much rebounding.

I think that's the wrong link - it sends me to a game with two teams playing base offense.
