I would say that I'm not really sure if we can now have a good conversation about tactics in general.

We know that there will be changes in the GE related to passing, rebounds and shotblocks. Also, changes in zone defenses, but as far as i Know this is not a GE but a games dispayers change, because, help defenders have always been there.

Recently, BB-Charles had said that those changes are part of a mayor pack of changes, wich may include or may not include fundamental aspects of tactics.

For example, if passing is going to be more effective, then the pace of a tactic will be more importante and, maybe, just maybe, this new effectiveness in passing would allow us to see with more detailed the subtles differences -if any- between tacticas like motion against a Run and Gun. Because, I assume, high quality shots will happen more frequently in different areas with different positions for different tactics, even if both of them are outside oriented.

If that is the case then the rules need to be changed. What if you have great shooters but poor range then what offense do you choose. If you have great 1 on 1 players then what do you choose. I understood by the rules and from what i know about RL basketball that you would see more 18 footers than 3's. Plus motion is usually spread out fairly well which helps out with a player who knows how to drive.

First i dont know what a BO is and secondaly the wording of the rules is misleading.

Motion: outside/mid range jump shot focus, normal pace

Outside shooting to me at least does not equal every third or fourth shot to be a three. Mid range shots are from 7/8 feet till 26/17. Outside shooting should be from 17 feet and further. My shot chart does not look like that and i don't find much of a difference in shot selection from motion to run & gun.

Run and Gun: outside focus, increased pace.

So in my opinion the wording should be changed or the GE needs to recognize the differences between them.
