A 3-2 zone against Look Inside is not necessarily a wrong defensive choice:

-> Tactics are not so important in BuzzerBeater

If thats true then again something is wrong with the game. Tactics are really important factor to the real game so must be the same here even if we have different rules here.

Definition of PF: The player that have similar skills like C, but not quite so strong. He compromise that being able to play feather from the basket, (hit mid range shots, few 3pt) and be more mobile, but not so strong.

If thats true then again something is wrong with the game.

I definitely do not think it is true, I completely disagree with the original poster, or at least your take on what he wrote. I think the issue is more that the new engine changed the dynamic of zones and many are still trying to get a grip on it.

A 3-2 zone can be a good choice against an inside tactic for many teams. For example, if I want to play a PG at the SF spot, I can quite nicely hide his poor inside d in such a zone, since most of the time my PF and C will guard inside plays.

A greater concern here is when the guards drive inside. The mis-match against the PF or C is usually too much for them to overcome. I don't know if that aspect of the 3-2 zone is too powerful.

Then again, if you don't have three players who can defend on the outside, a 3-2 zone is vulnerable to an outside attack.

So it all comes down to putting the right players in the right spots and choosing the right tactic to take advantage of your strengths/weaknesses. The game starts to seem pretty rich now, doesn't it?

Of course you can, but at the end of the day its all about wining. How we will do that? whats the easiest way? Whats the faster one? Its not like our options are equal.

Tactics should be the decisive factor for a team to win a game when 2 teams are close. Also tactics should punish the managers that are choosing the wrong 1 too. I cant accept that you can win for example using 3-2 zone or 1-3-1 against LI/LP, but you cant when you use 2-3 against RnG or motion. Just doesnt fair to me.

A center has to have good inside skills and some jump shot, passing and driving.

No argument at all here. Just dont make C's like guards...

Well 1 part of tactics (as the real life) is to have the right players to use them. But you cant resist to exploit for example the poor big men of the opposite team even if you dont have the right players to do it. You are talking for the good players that the 90% of them cant bought from the majority of the teams. We all know that the ideal is 1 player have 20 on all of his skills, but we all know that we cant have that.

O fcourse if i play against much weaker team than mine i should win anyway, couz after all good players is the 1st

We dont have the chance to change tactics during the game, so i would love my trainer to listen my advices, couz he is just a machine, he knows only 0 or 1. So i want my trainer to follow strictly my instructions. If i am wrong, then i can use the ratings to evaluate what i did wrong, and the next game i will adjust my team/tactics.

Maybe after all the problem are the ratings. They dont give us the proper feedback. The less that we are impact the game the less fun we get
