I've tried to look at this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere:

If you set to fullcourt press, how does the logic handle defending the half-court set? Is a PG more like to match up against the opposing team's PG or is it more like your PG is going to defend on the perimeter more (thus making rebounding/shot blocking less important and speed more important) and your C is going to defend on the interior more (thus making rebounding/shot blocking more important and speed less important)?

Basically I'm curious about gameplanning when running a FCP. Say you have an excellent defensive SG, would it be worth it to switch him to SF to try to match up against an opponent's best player, if he's a SF?

Bump

once upon a time - in a dev chat or somewhere - it was said that fullcourt press falls back into a simple man to man scheme at some point....but that man to man IQ doesnt matter in that mode

dont know if it was or is true

It's a FULL-COURT press.  You press at all times.  In the half-court it's supposed to (and seems to work reasonably well) somewhat like a man-to-man defense in which you've set your team to double team everybody all the time.  Whoever has the ball gets doubled.  But one of the 2 should always be the positional matchup.  Unless, of course, that guy is still stuck halfway across the court after he was doubling somebody else.

I find it's best just to avoid answering questions from the press, or issue a terse "no comment" if I am backed into a corner.  I learned my lesson after the press got wind of the incident between alblack56, the ferret, the lingerie store and a recruit named Harry Johnson.

Okay that makes sense. Wasn't sure if it was a man-to-man sort of concept or something like a 1-2-1-1 where you dropped back into more of a zone scheme.
