What is the ID/SB of the 3rd player? I'm not convinced he is out of the running for the Inside Defender spot just yet.

the player with high OD that I had left out of the picture have ID and SB around 6-11, let's buzzerbeaterly say.


what about sublevels? eager to read some of your reflections about this. or they are just not relevant in this matter?

about the pickup game, i'm looking forward for the invite (i'm talking about my main team btw).

I have 3 players on my roster whose combination of OD+ID+SB equals 37, being those 3 my best defenders as a consequence.

One of them has very high OD, so I guess that if I choose outside box-and-one he will be the "one".

But what about the other two who are more inside oriented defensively? Is it correct to assume that in the case of inside box-and-one the player who has the higher ID will be chosen ? Or do sublevels play a part on this calculation?

For example:

Player 1: OD 10 ID17 SB 10 = 37
Player 2: OD 9 ID 15 SB 13 = 37

Player 1 has higher ID and should be the "one", right? But if you count sublevels, hipotetically player 1 adds to 37,4 and player 2 adds to 37,6. In this case, will player 2 be chosen as the "one"?



Oh, well, I played this afternoon my main team against my utopia team and the "Player 1" from above basically guarded all the shots from the utopia's best shooter. When "Player 1" got subbed, all the shots became guarded by "Player 2", and when "player 1" went back to court he took the role again of defending every shot of the utopia's best shooter.

In this case utopia played inside iso and main team played inside box-and-one, I don't know if the tactics were different the defensive behaviour would be the same, but I got many answers from this match. Probably lots of people here already knew all of that, but still.

I tried two pickup games.
In one game, I used the "inside box and one" tactic, and the best defensive player (best OD, best ID, best SB) in the lineup were set to defend as PG.
In the other game, I used the "outside box and one" tactic, and the best defensive player (best OD, best ID, best SB) in the lineup were set to defend as C.
For the inside box and one game, I cannot be completely sure, but for the outside box and one game, it seems like the best defensive player is probably the "+1" player.
Therefore, it is highly likely that my interpretation of those two games before is wrong.
My previous assumptions naturally do not hold.

I'm not sure if that's what you are trying to say, but from what I understand, regardless of the defensive positions the players are set up for the game, the best defensive player (according to the engine) will always defend the opponent's best attacking player, regardless of the set up position of the best defensive player and regardless of the position of the best attacking player. This will almost always disrupt the defensive matchups of the other 4 players, since they will play zone defense. However, I think box-and-one can be effective if well planned, specially against patient and isolation offenses. Actually, if well planned, it can be a kriptonite against patient. Just saying.

Sorry to bring this on again, but I have a doubt

Is the formula of the +1 affected by the position on the court or is it only skill based? I mean, could a PG be selected to be that player before your C?
Does this work the same way with outside and inside +1?

Thanks.

talking from experience of others' - i've been told that even your C can be the +1 defender in OUTSIDE BOX. crazy stuff haha

Yes, because if you place an all defense player on C, he will be the best solution.
When I did the tests with both boxes, Haek was always the +1 defender. He had OD 18, ID 18 and SB 18, so he was option 1, no matter which box and which position.

Than you so much Alonso and Nachtmahr.

So if the +1 is decided only by skills, that means (as BB-Justin said I think) the best defensive player will be selected regarding his position on court, but the formula will change a bit between if you selected outside +1 or inside +1, having more impact on the first one the OD, and ID on the second one.
To sum up, you only choose who you want to take the most defensive responsability, right? It doesn't matter if the oposing team play inside or outside, the GE will choose "the best offensive" player in that tactic and your job is to choose which +1 is going to defend him (in case you clearly have different build defensive players).

Maybe I still don't comprehend it 100%...

Is that so? I'm not that sure

And another question that popped in my head is... does GS affect in order to choose who is that +1?
