Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

in game subs and call plays. i can not figure this out at all

Both could be streamlined, honestly. That's why I use auto subs since you have to use the D-pad to call up the menu and then scroll through several names before finding the player you want.

The play call menu is also cumbersome; your quick/smart plays are also initiated with the D-pad.

Yeah, I've always ever used auto Sub. Never had an issue with it.

Certainly nothing, that a quick time out and manual subs there couldn't handle.

It's cause you're coming right at him. In basketball, you don't want to stand there if a teammate (with OR without the ball) is coming towards you - you want to keep the floor spaced. (unless someone's setting a pick)

Now, in this case, he didn't know you were getting ready to throw the ball to him, so he was just rotating to keep the floor properly spaced.

By staying in the center, you would have not only kept the floor properly spaced, but you would have drawn more D towards you, keeping him more open (no hate, just discussion - I do this way too many times, too!)

Can someone explain from a basketball standpoint why in the world Tyreke Evans would cut into the paint in the situation below?



I see Tyreke waiting in the corner so I decide to make a pass to him if only to make the defense react and move a guy out....... but then he decides while I'm pressing x to instead cut to the center to where the DEFENSE IS. This happens to me at least once a game during transition moments.

Is there a basketball reason for this or am I making the wrong play here?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

back to gameplay, i suspect it could be the cause of player tendency. i dont have that problem with novak, singler and morrow. they stay there for spot up. tyreke evans is not known for spot up as far as i know.

I feel like this could be a plausible explanation... maybe the game has programmed tyreke to not want to spot up for shots (although, even though he isnt the greatest shooter, he certainly is capable of making a corner 3)

What I don't understand is why the game thinks I'm "coming right at him". I mean, having one player at the corner and one at the 3 pt elbow (where Holiday is roughly headed to after making the pass) still is good spacing that is normally used in a 4-1, for example. isn't it perfectly reasonable for holiday to hit evans for a spot up shot at where he did? or am i supposed to stay at the center of the floor to make that pass?

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here
hey just so everyone knows, I took about 200hrs to construct a legends roster. I worked super hard on this thing. I'm going to be filming a momentous trailer for it this weekend. please search my roster by "content name," and the roster is called "chise." I labeled it as such because it's prime for associations and will make for great games against friends or for online associations as well as offline! please let me know what you all think. thanks a bunch! btw this is for PS4 users. hope you enjoy it! the season is right around the corner!

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I'm having trouble reliably selecting the playbook to use in Practice Plays.

I go to pause --> game plan -- > coach sliders and get a coaching tab where you can scroll through playbooks.

If I change the play book, sometimes the new play book shows up back in the mode to practice from, and sometimes not. I also don't seem to be able to get a user playbook.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Anyone know how big man can come down with a rebound and not get ripped? I seen sometimes cpu bigs will hold the ball over their head away from reaching defenders. Is there a way for a user to do this

If I had to bet I'd guess that's NO's secondary break action.

I know you know your stuff and everything you said is correct from a bball perspective but I think OP has every right to complain about the clip he posted given the spacing.

Evans should not be cutting that early, he started his cut on the ball handler's very first dribble over halfcourt. If you watch the clip closely, Evans starts his cut the exact moment the ball touches the floor over the timeline for the first time. That's simply too early for Evans to know if the ball handler will change directions, call a play, pull the ball out and run something else, etc. Unless of course that's the action in their secondary break. Given the situation and spacing I don't believe that should be a read-and-react action though.

This drives me crazy some times in these situations, end of a quarter with time running down and your guys are trying to run a secondary break action when there isn't enough time. I haven't found a way to cancel that action or set a "space the floor" kinda freelance setting for these situations.

EDIT: Another thing I've noticed, and I don't know if DaCzar or anyone else has documented this, but secondary breaks seem to be triggered in situations like the clip posted here when you sprint with your ball handler. If you don't sprint there, you can get into your regular stuff. If you sprint it seems to send the signal out that you're pushing the ball and it triggers quick hitters/secondary break stuff.

This is interesting. I'll have to try moving the ball down more slowly and see if it it changes the teammate behavior

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I would be very careful gapping (off-ball) non-threats that are great offensive rebounders. You need to keep a body on those folks. Moderate.
