Quoting from the Player Guide, which I realize was written many moons ago, "uptempo tends to struggle more against the press."
A few queries based on this observation for folks to chime in on:
1. Assuming for the time being that the statement was true once upon a time under the old engine, does this statement still hold true under the new engine in folks' estimation given the changes in in-game fatigue rates?
2. If still true, in what ways does uptempo "struggle more" -- more fouls given up? lower shooting percentages from the floor? more turnovers? quicker fatigue than uptempo vs. say, man-to-man? I guess to phrase it in a overall question, what strategic edge am I surrendering by going uptempo vs. a press?
3. Finally, again assuming that the statement retains merit, should it be taken as a thinly-veiled hint not to go uptempo against a pressing opponent? If tacing a team that I would normally run uptempo against if they were in a zone or man set, should that statement inspire me to simply run normal-speed if they come out in a press? What "extra factor(s)" should I take into account when deciding to if I want to go uptempo against a pressing team as opposed to zone/man teams (greater stamina advantage? speed advantage? athleticism? ball handling?)
I have some thoughts, but I'm wondering what others' views on the matter are.
