Let me necro this thing to ask:
1. Can a low HA in theory handicap a good PA?
In other words, can I Handle so poorly that my Defender is all over me, making it tougher for me to Pass? Making it where MY Defender can 'Defend' the Pass?
2. Not a question, but wanting to understand. OD is Outside Defense. It 'goes against' BOTH HA and PA (and Outside Shooting). Correct?
3. What about in the Post? If my PF tries to skip it across the paint to my C, or to a Cutting Player... is this countered by OD or ID? I can see ID defending 'Back Downs', or triggering on a Double Team in the Paint... but is that how the Code works?
I ask because I run a Fast Break kind of Offense. So I try to get HA/PA on everybody, so everyone can Drive for the Basket and can hit that Extra Pass so we can Finish. I have no clue if that's how the Engine sees it, but that's the idea. So understanding ID/OD and HA/PA are pretty important for me.
