With 'I' he seems to take his transition shots at the rim or midrange, and same with his shooting off the dribble. He is graduating this season though so I won't be able see how it affects him next season.

If you were referring to the driving portion of this, it comes from the game manual. "Also note, that guard and wing players set to play inside, 'I' will tend to drive more and avoid positioning outside the arc." Updated Saturday, September 11 2021 @ 7:14:06 am PDT

Of course, we're guessing how the game engine works, but because of the manual, I have one guard in particular with poor range and lots of speed and drive and pretty good inside shooting so I set him to 'I', assuming this would force him to drive more and shoot inside more. Is this not the case? Can we get some insight in how this will be effected with the changes?

Maybe this is the line. Perimeter players will use the inside positioning to drive to the basketball. Front court players (which include SF's) might also tend to post-up more based on this. I guess small forwards are kind of a unique position. There is always a very small percentage that some player might do anything -- i.e. PG post up, post player tossing up a 3-pointer etc. Steve
