Maybe I'm wrong but i thought OUTSIDE ISOLATION meant you're outside shooters have a better chance of scoring? I ran it last game and my big guy went off while my wings didn't score that much. I won convincingly against a much weaker opponent but curious? I have a stud big guy with stupendous at rb but my wings are the ones who are the ones more than capable of racking up the points and in that game one had 9ptswhile the other had like 13pts.
Also if playing the Princeton is it most likely all you're players are involved in scoring or should i stick with base offense or push the ball to get my bigs also involved because i have a pretty well balanced team.

Outside Isolation tries to find the best offensive player based on his skills as well as the matchups he is facing so isolation offenses tend to divvy up the shots pretty between guards and SFs and bigs. It is the same with inside isolation. The goal is to get it to the best player to score but it is still a neutral offense which is why the GDP has it as balanced and normal. If you want balanced distribution I would go PtB or BO, if you want your guards/SF taking more shots than your bigs, try Motion.

it's exactly the opposite, your C and PF will take more shots, using iso inside your P and SG will take more shots

I don't agree with this. From the game manual:

Inside Isolation: Your team finds their best inside scorer. Normal Pace.

Outside Isolation: Your team finds their best outside scorer. Normal Pace.

I view them both as slightly altered BO approaches, O Iso slightly more outside and I Iso slightly more inside but still pretty balanced all around with a few specific players (regardless of position) still getting a decent amount of shots. Where are you getting your information that Inside Iso will get your guards more shots and Outside Iso will get your bigs more shots?

Good to know! Looks like you learn something new everyday. I know for that game specifically (The U21 semifinal from s27) the 1-3 positions did shoot a lot more, but I thought it was more because your Italian team had 100k monster bigs that prevented more inside shots from being taken. I don't work with Iso's a lot, so this is very helpful! Thank you!
