i only play d2, so keep that in mind if comparing to posts above. I +1 in 4 situations (NEVER +2):

1. if i know (read: can make an educated guess) that a team is going to cheat back (-3 or more) against me and i want to keep them honest, i'll +1 one of my guards.
2. in a similar vein, if i want to avoid or take advantage of a potential shift in half time settings (i.e., my bigs are loaded with distro, and i know that either opp adjusts every half time or if i'm winning, etc), i may be able to exploit a 2nd half opening), so i'll +1 my best 3 pt shooter.
3. when i have a player that's unathletic (< 40) but fast (70+) with good per (70+) matched up against a more athletic but slower defender, i'll +1.
4. Against the 2-3 zone i like to put in a per shooting sf and +1 one or both of my guards.

#3 and #4 are both important.

Why do you guys never go +2, even with a guy who is 90+ PER? Just curious. For the first time I have a team that is heavily reliant on players with high PER for scoring and I'm wondering if I've been gameplanning them wrong. Bluffton in Iba, for anyone who wouldn't mind giving some input. I have my 94 PER on +2, my 88 and 83 PER on +1 and my 89 PER on 0 (He hasn't been particularly efficient from 3 for whatever reason). My best LP guy is 79 and he doesn't start. My team jacks up about 25 threes per game and is shooting 39.2% on them (and 44.3% overall). Not sure if this is fine or if I need to turn them down a bit to be taking less 3's. Like I said, first time using a team reliant on perimeter shooting.

On the team stats, 41.8% from the perimeter is good enough for 25th place. So you're definitely one of the top shooting teams at 39.2%
