Does the CPU Run Plays?

[Heroesandvillains]

I've been playing this game unpatched for a few moths now. Before I owned the game I remember reading that the game shipped with broken play calling (defaulting to the wrong play book for human and CPU teams).

I used the search function and only found threads talking about the Human side of things. But I'm specifically trying to understand the CPU side.

They seem to ONLY freelance. Meaning, they're not running ANY plays. I'd assume if they were using the 'wrong playbook,' they'd run plays at least.

Could someone clarify the state of the game when it shipped for me? I can't find an answer to this anywhere. And if someone could, how do I get them to start calling plays in a MyGM already in progress?

Or if this has been discussed (again, on the CPU side), could someone link me to the thread?

Not sure if they run plays, but when playing on All Star (I dun care for difficulties above that) in MyCareer they seem to run freelance, but actually execute the PoI's set for them. At least until they turn into crazed bombers who start hitting 50-60% of their 3 pointers...

I'm pretty sure they run plays, just not too often.

Usually I get my steals when they run plays, because I know exactly who the plays being run for and I wait in the passing lane and intercept it.

I can't stand the way the CPU plays sometimes because after I get a few blocks or steals it seems like my teammates stop playing D and the 3 pointers are wide open..so I guess no need to run plays when they shoot 50% from downtown lol

I turned each teams run play setting to 100. In my experience if you don't they run around all crazy and attack the paint every trip down the court. I can't speak on MYgm, I don't like the restrictions so basically 2k is just a quick play game for me.

Re: Does the CPU Run Plays?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I guess what I'm asking is...since everyone is saying they either "do" or "can" run plays (with maxed out play calling)....

Did the CPU run plays when the game first shipped? Because I have no patches and I honestly don't think I've ever seem them do anything other than freelance (and 70% of the time, they're goal is to drive the paint first).

Can play calling be changed during an existing MyGM? And again, did the CPU run plays out of the box before the first patch?

I have no idea... it downloaded/updated to the latest patch when I installed it on my PS4 a couple weeks ago.

How do I change run plays for all teams?

My menu consists of:

Quick Game
My Career
MyGM
Features

In the team rosters click over until it's gives coach settings.

Thanks. But where are the team rosters?

Again, I just have Quick Games/MyCareer/MyGM/Features.

And I don't see anything about rosters under features (I looked last night).

Is it under NBA Today by chance? If so, I don't have that mode. No internet at home (*crosses fingers this isn't the case*).

Yeah my bad, it's located under NBA today. Is it true with no patches that you can stack accessories?

So are you telling me that I need access to NBA Today just to edit my OFFLINE rosters???? Seriously?????

And oh yeah, I can't even change quarter length in MyCareer thanks to the glitch (that NEVER got patched) that keeps me perminately at 24 minute games.

The DRM garbage needs to stop.

Welp. Guess I'm stuck the CPU never running plays! Awesome.

As to your question. I'm. Well. Not sure. I still have no idea where to find the accessories. Under "Features," the only thing I have access to is the shoe editor. I'm probably missing it though.
