From the Game Engine section of the Game Manual...

"The offensive schemes that we give you can be broken down into combinations of two aspects, pace and focus. Pace is either faster, slower or normal, and focus is either inside, outside or normal. A faster pace means that the team will lower its standards for which shot to take and take less time to get it up the court…resulting in more possessions in the game. Slower pace means just the opposite. Having an inside focus both increases the overall quality of the looks you get near the basket and decreases the quality of looks you get away from the hoop. It also skews the distribution of looks that you get towards inside looks. Outside focus does exactly the same, but for longer range shots. In general the marginal gain you get is outweighed by the loss, so it only makes sense to focus one way or the other if you really feel you have an advantage in that area."

Thanks for your replies everyone!

Yeah, Naker, I think chris902 is right about the base offences. If you don't know what they're going to play, or you don't know if there is a weakness you can exploit, and you don't have a specific strength, then the base offences are the way to go (due to the lower reward vs higher penalty ratio). This is why it is recommended that new users use those offences until they work out a strategy.

It looks like I won't receive any quantitative data... I wasn't really expecting to, but one can hope, right? ;)

The opinions are well received, though, thank you.

peace out- Axis
