    Do you run a big or small pf?

    Online I seem to find a lot of people play off ball zone and charges so I play a lot of 4 out 1 in. I am thinking of going smaller ive used dirk and love but want some other opinions. I thought about going smaller because on offense they are not the best perimeter option but on defense they help with rebound and defense to some extent.

    Is it best to stay with middle of the road bigs for average offense and defense or smaller give up defense and improve offense for 4 out 1 in?

    If you're playing against a lot of zone defenses I highly recommend you pick up Kevin Durant or Carmelo Anthony and put them at the PF and run 4 out 1 in and space the floor. You should have a true PF coming off the bench though in case they start out-rebounding you.

      Do you use auto subs or manual when using the true pf? I dislike trying to play in the menus when playing.

        I am only in the 6th seed because i am not a big fan of online games and the lag is annoying. I would like to play big but it will definitely depend on what my opponent does. I always manually sub but i do it either on pause or in a timeout never mid game menu

            Rodmans 3s are 50? How does that work out on the perimeter?

              I manually sub. I usually do it during a timeout, foul shots or you could always press start and make subs.

                I fear people will hate waiting during a pause. Is this seen as bad sportsmanship. I sorta dislike when people pause the game and take 2 minutes to do all the defensive settings at the start of the game.

                  Call a timeout and do it then, most people don't call enough timeouts anyway. You'll also get used to subbing manually ingame when you've got a few seconds, start practicing against the CPU. It's not bad manners if you hurry up.

                    It doesn't, i don't use him for offense, except for occasionally giving him a lob.
                    He is a pure defensive beast.

                      I play with a normal PF usually. Not a Center, neither a SF like LBJ,Melo, or KD. For me best attributes for PF is Mid range shot and rebounding.
                      However since there are many who play with small PF I suggest that your PF has enough speed to catch up with them. Emerald Davis is amazing for 40-50K,but the gold version is also pretty good.

                      For me having 3 perimeter players to run the offense is enough, and I prefer to add some defense, strenght and rebounding.

                      It is true however that in some cases the opponent plays zone.In that case I change to 4 out 1 in and usually I put KD as a PF.

                        I use Emerald Davis, he can defend big men as well as small forwards as PF, which makes him very important on defense.

                          LeBron starts for me because most people don't play a tradional PF. Emerald Davis comes off the bench and then I have Aldridge too, which can space the floor and has good back to the basket skills.

                            Definitely take the time to learn how to manual sub during the game or at least in timeouts. I do it at the start of the quarters as well. You have to make adjustments to what your opponent is doing.

                            Don't let the CPU manage your subs.
