I don't get it. if they want to tone down pick and rolls, they should do it by making the defense counter it better, rather than making the players not execute it at all.

Are you calling for a pick and roll or pick and pop? You do control that you know, right?

It's not perfect and I think it does depend on how good the players are involved in the pick n roll but I have had better results coming off the pick hard and getting the help defender to commit more. I dominated with the Knicks and Amare using this strategy and it was very rewarding and fun.

same thing here

it seems too work when u hard drive around the pick

can you call for a slip screen when playing off ball offense? i noticed the manual says you can only do pick pop or pick roll when off ball

Its got to be user error. I run PnR with Noah, Boozer, and Gibson religiously when there is a shot blocker down low.

After the pick is set the player should roll to the basket. Pick/Pop-Hold L1 till the player sets the pick. Then when you come off the screen he should be there. Pick/Slip-Haven't gotten this one to work yet but manual states, hold L1 to call for the pick, then it L1 again. I think it is a verbage problem with the instructions. It says press and hold L1 to pick and roll, when really it should say tap L1. You hold L1 till the player sets the pick for a pick and pop.

This is it..they really weren't clear in the manual and had me seriously buggin out..lol Thanks.

It's NOT broken. I tired different teams with different players. I think the way the controls are explained can be a little confusing.
