What about the inside scoring in princeton? Like I said my inside offence ratings are as poor as when I play RnG - but maybe that's because I had poor inside scoring forwards. If I have good inside scorers at PF and C, will the inside and outside offence ratings be even?

So which position according to you is the most important - PF?

Also, if your guards get more inside shots and your big guys more outside shots then wouldn't it all balance out into a neutral offence?

Choosing one player as the most important player for a tactic is a fool's game, if you ask me. It depends on the opponent, on the opposing tactics, etc. Here is an example of a game where both teams played Princeton and neither PF was supremely important in the game.

What is the Princeton offence in reality anyway? Do any NBA teams play it these days? I heard somewhere that the Kings of early 2000s used a princeton offence - but they played a very uptempo game whereas in BB princeton is supposed to be slower.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princeton_offense)

One thing that someone mentioned here that I didn't quite get is that driving is essential. Princeton is actually an offense where there is virtually no driving to the hoop on your own. It is a series of back door cuts and pick and rolls. I don't think that if the developers were trying to make it similar to real life they would make driving a big factor. I think passing from the big men is helpful as is JS.
