I havent done much in depth play by play analysis so I can't say how many players are focussed on in what situations. When I have more time I hope to do that.

Against that high defense I think most offenses have trouble. Without knowing the rest of the skills/players/opponent it's hard to say how Iso performs compared to other offenses.

tried Outside Iso last game with a SG at PF slot - inconclusive as far as i can tell

My players took mostly inside shots or drives to the hoop based on the PBP but in fairness my PG has high driving and his C looked overmatched (170k sallary vs 40k). Shot distribution appeared even at all positions. Flipside I have decent to good passing / driving at all positions.

Also had way too many fouls than normal.

I played 3-2 he played M2M. Weboth set TIE

People in my league (with top teams) hate ISOs. Apparently when there is no clear mismatch and you go against very good defenses (for your level of offense) the shot selection is not as 'reasonable' as in other tactics.


NTs have been widely using ISOs for some time now, and it does look like overcoming strong defenses (at least getting to nice percentages vs. the defense level in front).
(32376)
(32391)

A main difference with Patient I see then is the shot distribution, since there's no previously appointed position.
I also think the engine selects the isolated player on a play-by-play basis, which would contribute to the balanced.

I guess the conclusion to be successful with ISOs is, basically, to train perimeter players in inside skills, and viceversa. Then obviously supported by 5 players with DR-HN and also PS as an extra.

That's a good point, it's usual to face high defenses on a club level (it doesn't cost that much) while your offense does not get there (due to money, again) comparing to NT teams. Thank you.

What do people say about which skills are necessary for isolation offences?

We had a guy that ran a lot of inside isolation in our league a few seasons back, and he was quite successful with it. I would say that the most important skill can be guessed from the game manual pretty easily when you read the following parts:

Isolation offenses: The team will try to find their best offensive player and clear out an area for him to create his own shot.


Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.
