anyway, i didn't mean to imply that i think SB is bad in general... just that it's not the main reason for 2-3 zone not working so often IMO.

a question though: when they created it... do you think 2-3 zone was *intended* to be worse vs. LI/LP for most teams?
it just seems crazy if that's the case. the game manual certainly doesn't give that impression.

it would only be logical that:
opponent plays outside offense --> play outside zone
opponent plays neutral (balanced opponent) --> play M2M
opponent plays inside offense --> play 2-3 zone

Let's not forget that at the end of the games the losing team starts jacking up 3s even if one plays LI, so the chances of a come back increase dramatically vs. 2-3 zone.

Rebounding strenghten the defence, and the opposing team don't attack more efficient and you can reach this with pretty average player. taking away second chanche points, is also part of avoiding buckets.

I think also the game from Spartan against Rabadense was intresting in that direction, even when he lost with the 2-3 Zone.

the game engine has some flaws which prevents some tactics from working as intended..

i figured that was the case. so they really *didn't* intend it to be this difficult to use 2-3 zone...

Rebounding strenghten the defence

that's the only real positive. but gets far outweighed by everything else IMO.

true.
i just meant in general though.
(and a team is in serious trouble if the best option is to not even try to stop the opponent from scoring!)

maybe they can add a defense where all 5 players have their back to the offense... & are waiting for a rebound under the basket, haha. call it the 0-5 zone!
