NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
Just getting this year's version of the thread set up. I will update this OP as we get content. I will update the OP to add links to any video or other great tutorials people make about freelance offenses.
If you are new to basketball gaming or don't feel like you understand the basics of basketball well enough to really understand how to use offenses in the game, here's a video to break down the basics for you. If you are going to use freelance offenses, be sure you read the post just after this one on this page for essential information. The goal here is to make a one stop, all information thread about freelance offenses in 2k17, and to answer questions about how to use them throughout the comment section. This will be a thread with specific information about each freelance, such as favorite branches, strengths and weaknesses, etc. Shout out to Da Czar, the President of #simnation: Don't play video games, play basketball! UPDATE 12-3-16 For those of you who like to select the play types for your players and edit the defaults Watch This First:
Spoiler
ACE is making play calling and freelance action decisions on offense from a team offense point of view, and the player play type defaults guide that. The play types at default are not just about player attributes and tendencies but about how player action fit in to how each team likes to run its offense. That means things like post up plays may be assigned to some non scoring bigs not to get them the ball down low but to get players in spaces that fit with the team's offensive style. same for iso play types, guard post ups and handoffs. So if you update the defaults for your offline MyGM or MyCareer, you may be inadvertently messing with how the teams run their offenses from a sim point of view. And for teams you control, changing play assignments will matter if you use ACE set to ON or you play with it off but use ACE for quick plays or Scoring Actions freelance. Check out the video for better understanding, that's just my quick take and summary. Jazz Motion Freelance by City_foxx

This is not a full 2 Man Freelance Offense Overview but it shows how to clear a side of the floor for side pick and roll using this freelance with space the floor setting. This avoids the problem with 4 out and 5 out freelance sets where a wing player cuts through and clogs the paint when you try to run side pick and roll actions in those freelance systems.

Re: NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
IMPORTANT: Motion Cuts versus Scoring Actions in Freelance
Da_Czar did a live stream where he went over the Hawks freelance in response to having seen some comments in this thread. That video is posted in the OP but I'll post it again below under the spoiler tag because it contains some essential information about how to understand how to use freelance offenses in NBA 2k17. There are very significant differences in how freelance offenses are put together this year versus NBA 2k16. Here's the video for reference:
Spoiler
Here are my notes. If you want to be successful using freelance offenses this year, trust me, you need to know the following: About Motion Cuts:
Quick Summary: Motions Cuts is not as deep as last year. It's meant to give you some predictability you can use to create on your own. Scoring Actions is much deeper and strategically built to help you get buckets without calling your own plays, based on your game plan and personnel on the floor.

Re: NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
To get people started, here's Da Czar's overview of how to get in to freelance this year through the menus, and what's different about freelance this year over last year. It's deeper and more dynamic.
I definitely recommend viewing it for people just beginning to learn and understand freelance, and for experienced players who need to catch up on the new bells and whistles. Here are the noteworthy nuggets I pulled from the video. Since there’s no blog from Czar this year, here’s a poor man’s substitute:

Re: NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
Dope thread, just a little nugget you may want to add to your Original post. That you're missing that may help those who freelance.
"SMART PLAY" from the Da_Czar stream he stated that Smart Play is Freelance in the front court, e.g. If you select smart play in the backcourt it calls a play from the playbook, if you select a smart play in the frontcourt it will select a freelance play. |

Re: NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
If you're running a freelance set (horns or floppy, for example) make sure to put it on scoring actions. Czar said last night that sets work best with scoring actions turned on. All sets can be easily identified because they have the word set in the name.
In the full freelance offenses that are designed to have motion cuts turned on, you can initiate action by holding the ball for a count of 2 in one of the trigger locations (top of the key, wing, corner, et al.) or by making a pass. Last edited by jyoung; 09-16-2016 at 12:26 PM. |

Re: NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
I'm giving this a bump as I've updated the OP with some freelance tutorials from the community.
If you put any content together to teach freelances to people please PM me or make a comment in this thread so I can post it. This was a very popular thread last year that went sticky so if anyone has content, let me know so we can get it viewed. Text based breakdowns are welcome as in the format in the OP. I don't have anything myself yet as I'm still (for the first time) trying out MyCareer. But I"m sure I'll get to some stuff again. |

Re: NBA 2K17 Freelance Offense Community Wiki
This needs a bump or stickey. I was searching for these answers yesterdays.
