Zone defenses were created for teams who have players far inferior in defense compared to the direct opponent. It's to help reduce the mismatch so that he defender doesn't get eaten alive in each possession.

Last game , playing PON my team put up a respectable(high) rating in ID, and an average(medium) rating in OD

Ive heard all about the importance of OD, and I'm wondering, against a balanced opponent, would it benefit my team to play a 3-2, since my ID would still be able to put up an average rating and the OD would be 7-ish, which would make it harder to get the ball inside.

Thoughts? These are the tactics Im considering using in USA D.IV next season, btw just so you have a frame of reference.

Thanks for this infos.
I lost the game by 4 points but I played normal and he played CrunchTime so i guess his enthusiasm will be around ready (he TIE-ed all the games so far so i guess his enthusiasm before the match was motivated). Mine is now fanatical so by the game time it will be probably 9-10. My question is if I play CT with enthusiasm 9 on saturday, for next day game (assuming will be a 3rd game) what enthusiasm should I expect? If it drops only 1 step/day it should be 8 but I am not sure about how it works.

Thanks

I'll second this,

The best all around defense is MtM with NO HOLE, that is guards with good OD, Big guys with good ID, and a SF decent in both defenses.

The Players defensive values are more important for increasing team defensive rating than the tactic chosen. Even with the proper tactic you will get below average results if your players defensives values are low.

I play mostly LI on offense, and my team 3pts average is a low 16%, however whenever the opposing team play Z2-3 my 3pts raise to 40% even when I play inside offenses, and climb above 50% if I play Motion or Outside Isolation.
