I am playing My Career right now and it is still not working. I feel like maybe the plays just don't work the same as they did in previous games. I will be moving around the court then the play vision will randomly pop up for me to curl around screens from time to time. I wish it worked liked it did in previous games where as the point guard was bringing the ball up the floor it designated the spot for you to go on the court to initiate the play.
I still cannot manually call plays for myself though. I can bring up the play menu but cannot actually select a play for myself or any of my teammates. What I am doing right now is when the ball is passed to me I hold down L1 for quick play and a play will usually run. I guess it is better than nothing.
