How far fetched would it be for nba 2k to allow you to design your own plays. You would think this would be a standard next gen feature. Nfl 2k allowed you to design plays a couple of generations ago! Instead of adding playbooks year by year. Allow us a complete sandbox to design our own plays. That way the more skilled of us can recreate our favorite offenses without waiting for the corresponding playbook to be added. What logistically is the problem in adding this feature?

Re: Designing your own plays
I talked to Da_Czar about this once upon a time. Part of the worry is the amount of exploits potentially involved with a feature like this. It could end up making the game look ridiculous; super effective plays with no resemblance to basketball will be created.
*I can see Quarduple Screens to the PG in the corner already lol And I can also see the AI defenders being dumb enough to follow the screeners. 10 NBA Players in 8 feet of space 21 feet away from the basket ...

Re: Designing your own plays
I see. I think the specific example you described could be countered by switching to zone when you see something crazy like that develop. Then switching back to man. I hope they are least play testing the hell out of an idea like this. Makes more sense then adding a few playbook every year, when every year the playbooks are old because the teams are running new ****. It's why offball defense is so effective (along with send teammate in a cut not friggin working ��) . After a while everyone is memorizing the plays and are playing free safety secure in their ability to recover to the player they are defending because they memorized where he will end up.Comment

Re: Designing your own plays
I can definitely see that being an issue, but it would be a nice feature for offline use at least. I would love to be able to design my own plays and create a completely custom playset for each player on my team, and be able to create branches that way I want to.
Another thing I'd like to see when calling plays is a timer or something that tells you how long that play takes to develop a potential shot (ie option 1). I don't have every play memorized (far from it in fact), and when one play breaks down, it would be nice to know what plays I can call that would develop before the rest of the clock winds down.Comment

Re: Designing your own plays
The CPU uses a play similar to what you describe with the Mavs in MC. It's a triple screen(C, PF, SF) at the top of the key, it's damn near unstoppable without the ability to manually switch players and adjust. 8/10 times it leads to an uncontested layup or corner 3. And they run it over and over again.

Re: Designing your own plays
Yep, this was one of the best features in 2K8, and it was one of the reasons why I kept playing it for so many years. I ended up recreating pretty much my entire high school playbook in that game, and I would use it with my created team.
It's a shame that online cheesers are apparently keeping this feature from coming back. Those kind of players are already exploiting the incredibly overpowered double-screen/triple-screen plays that some teams have in their playbooks now (e.g., "63 Fist" in the Heat playbook), so I don't know how much worse things would really be with no limits on custom plays.Last edited by jyoung; 03-02-2015, 03:09 AM.Comment
