I disagree. I think it's very underrated. I'll use it about 1/4 of the time, especially when I want more guard scoring than look inside.

Base offense is like m2m defense, not SUPER good against anything, but not bad either. So it will work at a lower division because nobody's team is that good at defending both outside and inside. However, when you reach d.3 and above(i don't say d.4 because not every d.4 league is that competitive) you really need to know where you want the bulk of your scoring to come from, either outside players or your bigs. This is because all teams at that level will be able to defend both the outside and interior. if you run base then you will have to have average scorers at all 5 positions. Which means that other teams average defenders will be able to shut you down. But say you go for an outside oriented offense. If you have 3 really good scorers(PG, SG, SF) they will torch those average defenders so therefore, you'll score more points. imagine that.

Its job is to try and make things as balanced as possible, but lets say someone runs a 3-2 against it, or has overwhelming OD, inside shots will probably increase. Of course, I know this all too well :D

Sounds like something I am potentially building, possibly two seasons away when I really think I have a shot at promoting. The 2-guard is something I need to nail! Also, I can keep IS in that range for my C, why do you think that would be effective? is this because most top teams have good defensive C's too?

I don't think any good team has a real weakness on defense.

But what i would do if i had the team you just mentioned is play an outside offense against teams with weaker OD(and by weaker, i mean weaker than that same team's ID. But it still wouldn't be low), probably motion, and play LI against teams with lower ID. never base. besides if i could run 2 offenses well, then the other teams would always be guessing what defense to run, which could give me a huge advantage if they chose the wrong zone. But that's just me

No and that is why you dont do the same mistake as they do and force a lot of extra skills that you dont really need on players. If you target the players with the skills you actually want on them you can get more out of your team with the same salary as the other teams will have. So more skill for same money = better team.



so you're saying that if i want a really good SG i should get a player with 20 JS, JR and OD, with 1 everything else? And that he would cost less than a guy with the same # of skills, just distributed more evenly?
