Play distribution based on defense Topic

Do any of you use different play distributions and 3-point frequency based on defense? Usually, I just make slight adjustments while gameplanning for each opponent. I'm wondering if it might be more effective to just set a plan for each defense (up to 3-point frequency and guard distro against the 2-3, PF and C distro against 3-2, distro to faster players against M2M, etc.). If you do use the option, what do you do against the press?

I do load the outside against a 2-3 and give it to guys with a weak defensive player on them in the man - against the press, I generally give it more to my best guys - that is, I balance my distro less. I've found this effective, even though it seems counterintuitive.

I do about the same thing as corn, you have to take into account their defense ratings just like you plan your d against their best players. sometimes I'll even move players around to get better matchups depending on D ratings.

i definitely use different distros against different Ds-- much as you suggested in parentheses, but with Man I look for good ATH/SPD matchups as well as anyone they might have who is a poor defender.

for press i usually end up with more spd/ath matchups and try to keep the ball in the hands of my best BH guys, too.
