what levels for JR / JS would you need to play R&G semi decently?

JS - respectable + above??

R&G is an interesting offense. Point guard by far will be the most important player on the team, and high ball handling is a must. He also should be at least close to as good of shooter as your SG and a mid to good passer. High jump range is essential(Keeping JS 2 or 3 higher than JR will make the offense lethal) as JR heavily boosts Outside shooting in the game ratings when using R&G(not so much when using Motion)



Not entirely true I used to run a very successful run and gun before i hade a true pg and he had low jump range, i say sg is most important for this tactic

Depends at what level you play.
Obviosuly respectable isn't enough in div 1.

At my level, I would say that JS 12, JR 9 would do well in Run and Gun.

I see I see... so it depends on your opponents OD?

or did you mean that it requires a higher conversion rate in higher divisions as the scores will be more competitive?

Mainly it depends on your opponents OD. The higher the division, generally the higher the OD. So you need better JS/JR in higher divisions to overcome the higher OD.

Your guards also need good OD though. There is no point in having 15 JS/JR if you only have 2 OD.

lets say my opponent's average rating (from about 8 games or so) :

perimeter def: awful (high)

What levels would you reckon will suffice then? Using the rating as a reference as I think the standard for players / ratings really varies from league to league... :)


agreed on the OD... I made mistake of buying a PG trainee with inept OD

taking me forever and a day to get pops for him and wasting time training that skill... :((

gonna wait for the next draft and hope for a better trainee D:

With perimeter defence rating at awful, I think having Strong on JS and JR would be more than enough. Having Respectable on JS and JR would also probably be fine.

Yeah I wouldn't bother training up the OD from inept lol. Unless he was 18 and has high stats in everything else.
Well draft is soon so hopefully you can pick up something good!
