In the old engine, we would've taken single digits 3p's as a team.
Basically means you are forced to set a perimeter guy to -2 if you don't want him to take a majority of his shots from 3p range. Definitely not good, imo.
+1
Two of my players were set on a +1 3p frequency and they both ended up with 10+ shots from behind the arc against a 0/+1 zone. I rarely got that many 3pt attempts even when I had my 3pt frequency on +2 in the old engine
Setting 3p frequency to 0 means player's shot the 3 pointer within the normal flow of the game. Setting it to +1 means you want to look for 3 pointers outside the flow of the game. Setting it higher than that means look harder for the outside shot.
IMHO, if you have 0 for 3p shooting (normal flow), then you should be taking 3 point shots against a 2-3 zone set to anything lower than +2.
Just because it is different does not mean it is bad.
As for the Original Poster, seble said earlier he found and corrected an issue with bigs shooting too many 3 pointers while set to -2, which may have been why you shot so many.
