3) SB > ID
This skill set is really nice for lower leagues, but will backfire as soon as you face stronger opponents.
The reason:
ID is the foundation for SB. Without ID a player can't block... First your big has to defend an opponent (that's ID) and only after the shot attempt SB is needed. So if your ID is too low, your big will be outplayed and he will miss the opportunities for blocks.
Example:
ID 11 - SB 17
You are playing against DR 9 and IS 12 bigs. That's on the same level like ID 11. So your player will defend a lot of actions and be a blocking beast.
Now you promote and the bigs have DR 13 and IS 16. Your guy will be outplayed because his ID 11 is far too low. Sometimes he will be able to defend shots, but they will end up more and more as shooting fouls because of the lack of ID (ID does the work before the shot and if the shot attempt wasn't weakend enough, SB won't be enough to block).



Going along these lines... what have you for Guards or SB attempts on Jump Shots vs inside shots. so like an OD:SB comparisons?

I'm hoping that by running a zone it that it would make up alittle for the lack of ID. Does OD have any effect on DR? I remember this American manager named SM that was really successful in the NBBA. He won two cups and the NBBA once. He didn't invest in ID at all. The highest ID he had on a player was 10. He was able to do this because he had tons of OD. When I get in higher division I plan on loading up on OD as well.

So you are saying I'm going to need a bunch of OD in order for this experiment to work? By running a 3-2 wouldn't that put even more pressure on the guards forcing them to make bad passes which would result in a not so good shot making it more likely to get blocked. I really never understood how DR and PA worked in the GE.

My experiences in the past with 3-2 zones, are that the other team always finds a way to match-up their shots/passes mostly against your weakest OD of the 3 defenders.

Same for 2-3 zone. They always attack the weakest one.

I think a bigger problem there is that you were only putting up Prominent outside scoring.

Yeah I don't think defense was your problem there. You guys both played a fast paced offense and you held him to 94 and a fairly low shooting percentage. I think the 2-3 Zone actually helped you. I attribute zone defenses as one of the main reasons I've been able to climb the ranks as fast as I have.
