Personal opinion, there are a few factors:

1. What kind of offense do you plan to use as your main strategy? A lineup based around LP/LI would be more reliant on passing, or on DR/IS, than would a RnG/Motion offense. If you plan to mix it up as in recent games, a good level would be a must.

2. What level of play are you hoping for? If this is a guy you want to take to NBBA, even 12/Sen isn’t going to be particularly useful. If he’s to be a force for D.III / rotation option for D.II, you could get away with 11/Prolific, but obviously higher is better.

3. Less obvious but still essentially necessary to address, are the other skills he has. 12/Sen passing is cool, but 12/Sen is a waste if you’re on low handling (still too many TOs). Plus, if his JS/JR are top tier, or Handling/Driving/IS are top tier, you could get away with a bit lower in passing a bit more easily with the caveat of this player being more central to your offensive production.

In terms of how it specifically would affect the "Offensive Flow" stat, I cannot exactly say. too much goes into that rating to be efficient with an answer here. however, I will say that analyzing my last two Saturday games, higher passing did affect that score quite a bit (while I still lost both matches).

A lineup based around LP/LI would be more reliant on passing, or on DR/IS, than would a RnG/Motion offense. If you plan to mix it up as in recent games, a good level would be a must.

Do you have a source for this info or is it just based on your assumption?

thanks

Part assumption, part analysis of my main PG over the last season and a half (aka, since he’s been bought).

Games where he has had 9+ assists:
-Inside Focus: 3 games (2 LI, 1 LP)
-Neutral Focus: 2 games (2 Inside Iso)
-Outside Focus: 2 games (1 RnG, 1 Motion) (both of these with my best OS trainee on for 48)

Games where he took 14+ shots:
-Inside Focus: 2 games (2 LI)
-Neutral Focus: 3 games (2 Inside Iso, 1 Push)
-Outside Focus: 3 games (3 RnG)

My interpretation of this is that his passing is at its best on inside offenses/not as big of a factor outside, whereas his driving/handling and jump shot are all bigger factors in outside offenses. Of those high-shooting games, he only took all together 25 attempts in 8 games, and over half of those came in the RnG games. This tells me that driving/handling are more essential in the inside-focused games than the RnG.

Again, it’s still a good portion speculation, but I’ve definitely come to the conclusion that an inside focus-offense (or Inside Iso) requires higher passing/driving to be successful than RnG and Motion.

Thanks. That's a pretty interesting way to look at things.

Hello!

Is Buzzermanager still reliable when it comes calculating potential limit? I want to try different builds and see the potential caps. Buzzermanager was created a long time ago and I know there is definitely some margin of error but do you guys still use it?

Thanks!

Hi
what do we know about shoot repartition ? Someone told me that if i limit the HA, my player would take less shoot, is it true?

If a player has more IS, does it mean he will prefer dunking than shooting at mid range ?

If you have some topic on it i would gladly take the time to read it.

Thanks a lot for your time

I add one question :
Is there any tips/way on how to guess your hof player real limit in advance? DMI? Salary?
For example i have 2 hof players. Same age. Same potential. 98 TSP for the first one (my french player), 92 for the 2nd.
The 2nd one only has 2 skills (PA & reb) better than his friend but has 4k salary top and 60k DMI higher.... Is this one way to know than my 2nd will reach his cap later?
