Re: OS: Teach Me How Thread

Question regarding signature moves- It is my understanding that many players in the game have signature moves that can be used if you are on the correct area of the floor and input the appropriate controls.

Is there any way I can see a players signature move and how/where on the floor to use it?

Thank you in advance!

Not sure about other modes, but go into MyLeague and find the player. Go to edit player, find the signatures sub menu, and scroll down to the signature moves. There's an animation for each move you can look at.

Also, you can just go into a practice mode and play with the player outside of a game to try their moves out.

I think he's referring to moves like Jamal Crawford shake&bake or Monta's 360 layup.

Hehe ... I tried to lab that Monta Ellis layup for 6 hours before coming to the conclusion it was based on situation. Unless someone has discovered it. I'd really like to put that one in the bank. Never figured it out.

Not really a 2k15 question.

Does anyone know which offense will likely be assigned to Memphis for next year's game? I didn't see any of their summer league stuff IRL and I'm not sure if they've changed anything?

And the same question for OKC. Due to the new coach, I know Donovan loves the spread pick and roll. Do you think they'll just base it on what he was doing in college?

I didn't watch much of them either but I'd like to think they stick with a 3out 2 in so they can utilize Gasol and Randolph in horns, pick and rolls and low post offense. Their team is centered around that duo, any major changes would surprise me.

Donovan will stick with a PnR scheme. I see them running a bunch of 4 out 1 in fist schemes with some 3 out 2 in sprinkled in. I don't see him locking Westbrook and Durant down in an offense that requires a bunch of reads. I see him turning them loose with a spread floor.

When playing head to head would you guys recommend turning the PlayVision off to call plays? Last night when my brother and I were playing he kept jumping on my plays when the "X" popped up over my player's head.

Yeah, work out of the "base alignments" like triangle, 4-1, 3-2 etc for "couch games". Unless you run plays that have multiple options working on both sides he's always gonna have that unfair advantage.

Thanks. So just to be correct, about the "base alignments" I can call 4-1 or etc and can still call individual plays but with PlayVision off for "couch games"?

If you want to run set plays, you'd have to know the play inside and out while running it with playvision off. Not sure how far along you are in your specific playbook. Also turn the play pop off thing off so when you call such a play he can't look at the text and know its coming.

Running the base offensive sets will help you disguise your set plays easier as well as not having to lean on them the entire time. Just pay attention to your player's alignment during the play and run a base very similar to it. For example, in HORNS most of the time its a 3-2 look. If you run that as a base, your guys will be in position for the play or you could just run the normal 3-2 motions.

Giving your opponent the same look but running different stuff of it is a great mixup. It'll also rock them to sleep thinking they know whats coming and allowing you to throw some other wrinkles in there after they've adjusted to the initial attack.

Thanks for this! The play call messages were turned off and also PlayVision was on lite, and that's why the "X" was above the players head. I was running mostly 4-1 with freelance when I had my shooters on the floor and 3-2 when KG was back in. I'll look into 3-2 motions and attempt to learn plays over again without PlayVision on. I remember on 2k12 I could call plays with PlayVision off and run plays from anywhere on the court.

What's the best way to defend a post shot?

Seems like the only way I've been able to penetrate the ''force field'' of post fadeaway shots is by holding turbo,holding up on the right stick and sprinting at the shooter.

Seems ridiculous but it actually works.

i asked the same. right stick pointing towards the opponent is the best possible means. i tried and it works, not all the time though. it's definitely more effective than jumping towards the opponent to contest or block.

i think this is still ok as in real life, MJ's post fadeaway is really unguardable.

Looks like this thread has finally been sent to the grave. Not sure if we'll get another sticky or not but I know LorenzoDC and myself are interested in helping again with NBA 2K16.

Thanks to all the guys who helped in this thread as well as those who asked the questions. Also thanks to Millennium for supporting this thread.
