What defensive focus works best?

2023-01-09

Article by: dwyane3

Hello,

we looked at the statistics of the most used defensive tactics in the game and I would like to share the results.

Defensive focus

BasketPulse deflections What is the most widely used focus?

Most often, teams choose to play without focusing on the specific strength of their opponents and choose a Normal focus. The use of Shooters defensive focus has increased significantly this past season.

Home advantage

Basketpulse steals What works best?

Despite teams using the Normal option the most, this tactic is only the fourth most effective. Teams that chose to emphasize defense against shooters won most of the games - 54%.

The latest version of the engine has reduced the number of deflections when passing the ball to the low post, which has reduced the effectiveness of low-post defensive focus.

Meanwhile, the least used tactic to focus on the opponent's playmakers gave the worst result - only 36% of victories.

Free throw accuracy

Basketpulse steals

What are we going to change?

We are going to increase the efficiency of defensive focus on playmakers and leader by skills.

PRO TIP. Many players face the problem of a foul trouble. The amount of fouls can be reduced by changing the defensive and role tactics of the player.

3.1 3.3 a-darius

Regarding this article and this statistics, they show a lot.

Firstly, that shows which tactics elite teams prefer.
That can show if some tactics influence is too big or too small (or at least community thinks that way)

Winning ratio helps to validate that. In normal cases, the winning ratio should be around 50%. This does not mean “flipping the coin”, because the winning is not determined only by the tactics.

The more winning ratio is above 50% (or under it) that means that calibrations might be needed.

Of course, this statistics does not show what and how each tactic affects the game.
For that we plan in a few weeks to create another article in which you will see how each defensive tactics affect shooting situations in different positions. -- 91 S 9 d.

New ME version: v1.3.1 In the last attack the ball goes to the point guard in order to have better chances to avoid losing it in case of pressure.

As this is very small and not risky fix, we decided not to wait for the next season and include it straight into the main engine. -- 91 S 9 d.

3.1 3.3 a-darius

Changing the amount of offensive rebounds or fouls is balancing.
I definitely plan to review this in a week or two, but such changes won`t be put into the main match engine directly in the middle of the season.

You have to understand that balancing changes do not simply make the game better. Usually they have a price.

We see these numbers raised because we have less random and less “safeguards” in these areas.
Usually this is what the community wants and asks us. But at the same time everybody wants to see nice looking stats.

Reducing rebounds or fouls means that we need to increase random or “safeguards”. Both approaches have issues.

We can also try to give more influence towards tactics and allow users handle these things themselves. But that does not eliminate the possibility of having “too many” fouls or off. rebounds.

So such changes take time and are definitely too risky to put in the middle of the season. -- 91 S 9 d.

1.1 3.3 d0man

I get that changes in the middle of the season are risky and shouldn't be implemented but changes at the start were really bad and I think at this point people wouldn't mean reversing to the old engine. Cuz now the engine is a mess in one of the last games I ended up having over 80 free throws only for my time over 90% of fouls were shouting fouls. In first games, I tried to explain this by having good offensive players trying to shoot and that dribbling speed and oiq are the main aspects of fouls because mainly these players were drawing but then I did some changes in tactics and find out that any player who are shooting ends up with a ridiculous amount of free throws. I don't know if we still don't understand the engine but it seems to me like a bug that makes this game much less enjoyable than the previous engine. -- 91 S 9 d.

a-darius "Firstly, that shows which tactics elite teams prefer."
Really, and which one is it, cause I can't figure it by looking at this charts. I can see which is most popular, which has highest win ratio, but not which one elite teams prefer.
That certain type of defence is popular or has high win% is not equal with being used by elite teams. Elite team, in theory, if has certain type of players, coaches, etc. could win even using worst type of this tactic on paper.
Good example, since in general we like to compare our game to real life bastkeball, is Phil Jackson and his triangle offence. It's great system, but it requires very specific type of players to be effective and let's be honest, it worked only for Jordan Bulls in 90s and for Lakers in 2000s with Shaq and Kobe, also later for Kobe and Paul. You can't argue with the results, in all of this years teams lead by Jackson won 11 championships, most in NBA history. So it was tactic used by elite teams and was very good, producing multiple championships.
Why only it worked for this two teams? Because of the players, they were able to sign, all of them, form their leaders and stars, to end of the bench, was filled with players who could understand this system and worked good enough in it. There's no other team which could replicate it and problably we'll wait long time since we see triangle offence again. Good example also here is NYK with Fisher as head coach and Jackson as manager, they tried to play it with their roster, but it was impossible and results were simply bad. Cause they didn't have personel for it.
Same thing could be said about Warriors right now, many teams evolved their offence around 3-point shooting, same as Warriors, but let's be honest, only Curry Warriors are able to play effective in this offence, again, because of players they had - Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, Durant, Wiggins, Iguodala, Bogut, etc. Even they now have problems to figure it out, since they changed their roster quite a bit this season.
So something being on paper most popular/giving best results, doesn't mean "elite" is using same thing, because they could do something different in their own, unique way, and that's what makes them "elite". -- 91 S 9 d.

Interesting investment of the game engine in buying the powerpoint, I like the color graphics, now seriously, until when are we going to continue playing with two game engines, without knowing how the tactics work, this is stressful and without a future, they only contribute data and comparisons with reality that mostly do not interest us, we just want to play in optimal conditions and with a logic -- 91 S 10 d.

Testing match engine has been updated: v1.4-b.2
Critical bug fix. If during matches on day 12 we won't find anything wrong, we plan to add this fix into the main engine as well from the 13th day.

Bug: Back court inbounding scenarios were missing in the 4th quarter and overtimes.
That led to some strange bugs (for example, traveling just after another team made a shot).
However, the biggest issue is that there wasn’t full court press in Q4 as well. And in some matches that could be a critical change compared to Q1-3. -- 91 S 10 d.

siūlau panagrinėti statistiką kažkiek giliau ir tikslingiau bei atlikti balansavimus: 1) kiek vidutiniškai taškų skirtumo sudaro, jei ta pati komanda, bet trenerio įgūdžiai skiriasi per vieną ar kelis balus. Koks standartinis nuokrypis, 2) tas pats su arenos atmosfera, 3) taktika: kaip keičiasi rezultatas tarp tų pačių komandų, kai pvz puola per metikus, o ginasi a) prieš lyderį, b) prieš metikus, c) po krepšiu, d) normalus. Ir tas pats medis su kitom puolimo taktikom. 4) random - koks standartinis nuokrypis per varžybas. Tik kad šitą analizuoti reikia imti kelias komandas, kelis atvejus ir tą patį runninti daug kartų, tada bus aišku koks efektas gaunasi iš kiekvienos srities, kai visi kiti faktoriai nesikeičia. Pagal galima klausti feedback, kur bendruomenė norėtų daugiau balanso. -- 91 S 10 d.

Thanks for the analysis, but I just hope we can have a more stable game engine in the near future, I don't care if it emphasizes the offense or defense, shooters or low-post, and etc. It affects the way we read the tactics and train our player. It takes a long period to train a player in this game, and nobody wants to see his gem becomes jam after ten seasons of training. I understand Darius and his team want to update the engine every season in order to build a "perfect" engine, but there is no such engine that satisfies every user. -- 91 S 11 d.

david1992 I'm glad that you like the colour graphics! And we hear you about the stress of playing with two game engines. We understand that it can be frustrating not having everything fully up to date and working optimally. But rest assured, we're working on updates and improvements behind the scenes, and we're doing our best to get everything running smoothly as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we can't give you an exact timeline for when the updates will be finished, but we'll make sure to keep you informed as we make progress. In the meantime, we hope you're still having fun with the game!

Gudrioji Lape thank you for your suggestions, we are working on the suggestion 3) and we will share the results as soon as we have them. :) -- 91 S 11 d.
