zone defenses

Sun May 15, 2005 3:23 am

whats the meaning of the numbers... ???

3-2 zone and 2-3 zone and 1-3-1 zone

how many cover the perimeter vs inside.

1 3 1 is basically up top, in the middle, and right under the basket with 2 wings.

3-2 is when 3 players(SF, SG,PG) are around the perimeter line guarding their man. And PF and C are inside guarding big men.

2-3 is when SG and PG are around the perimeter line and SF,PF and C are inside.

1-3-1 is when PG is around the perimeter line, SG,SF,PF are around the inside and C is inside.

thanx for the replies...

and now... what zone defenses do you use??? I really do not use zone, and I prefer to defend man by man...

use the 2-3 if you want to beat the spurs :)

The only zone I'm able to use is 2-3 ,how can you switch between the other 2?

You have to go in and change your plays for the different buttons.

I usually play Man to Man or when I'm starting to lose I take a time-out and switch to trap 2-3!

Thanks,another off-topic question if you don't mind: how do you enable off-ball control?

Same thing... Just assign a button to that in Configure Controller and then ingame hold that button and push the button corresponding for the player that you want to control.
