It starts with OD/ID (defense against the player) and only after a shot is taken, SB (defense against the shot) kicks in.
Ah, thanks for the info. Now that changes everything. SB looks like a safety net now.
However, as I mentioned in my previous post, I seem to observe the opposite of this:
It doesn't matter how high or low your SB is, the player will always try to alter/block the shot. But a SB 1 C will be absolutely overpowered and tend to foul.
From what you say it seems like every player will attempt to block, which I observe to not be the case, and neither am I alone in this. How do you explain very high SB players picking up more shooting fouls than their lower SB counterparts?
Tho yes I think one very good point you brought up is the opponent's offense and how the GE searches for mismatches. I do recall reading about that. So even if I have a ID 25 player, my opponents can still attack the other players.
