Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Does anybody know why in my game by default the Knicks are running the 4 out 1 in freelance instead of the Tri or why the Spurs are running the 3 out 2 in instead of the swing by default ?

for the knicks, i thought it was 3-2 and it happened at (1) last one minute before end of quarter and (2) first possession at start of 3rd quarter. thats what i observed in myleague human vs cpu games.

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. Have recently been playing offline Myleague, and for some reason my team continues to leave shooters open on the perimeter to sit in the paint. No matter what settings I use. I try not to use "Deny" because it gets me beat on breaks to the basket. It's pretty much an automatic bucket if I do.

However, if I play Tight/Tight on any player coupled with Limit Perimeter Shots / Physical Defense / Some Crash, Some run my guys always leave the shooters. Always. Even if a shot hasn't been taken yet.

Here is an example (Look to the right side of the screen): https://streamable.com/b2gm



I seriously don't know what to do because I definitely want to stop that ****. I play HOF / Custom Sliders but that doesn't really explain my User AI's behavior. Any help would be really appreciated.

I play Moderate/Moderate, go over and no hedge for all players. yor teammates leave their shooters from weak side to help when the AI detected a slight small opening in the pnr defense. so, either u play on ball D on pnr and go over, or play off ball D to make yor teammates stay with their man at the weak side.
it works fine for me but i am on superstar simulation sliders.

Anyone knows how to pull of that spin fake shot/half spin shot, that Wade does @1:52 mark?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Just joined up, but have visited a few times in the past for some great info.

Question:

I love MyGM, but I think I have a significant problem with training my players during the course of the season. I tend to choose two or three of their weakest abilities and focus on those over the entire season, but I don't see much improvement, if any. Shot IQ, Off and Def Consistency, and the other IQ's seem to be what I try to focus on for many of my guys, but they don't seem to garner any points.

The progression screen doesn't make much sense to me, so I just look at the actual number of the ability to determine if it's gone up. For the Physical tab, unless a player is severely lacking in only one or two abilities, I use "By Player Type" or Balanced.

I do a pretty good job at keeping my players workload high without tiring them out and I listen to and oblige all requests to lower or increase training intensity.

Has anyone written a How To or can present a decent guide on how to handle player progression? I've searched the web and have yet to come up with much (I've skipped the YouTube tutorials as I've found them to be of little use in the past). I've drafted some great players with B+ to A potential but don't think they are coming anywhere close to reaching their possible peak.

Thanks!

Mark

Does the "bench depth" slider affect the number of bench players on the floor without messing up their minutes assigned in the rotations?


I mean, if I lower the slider, do I avoid to have the 5 starters substited all together ?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Quick question: Does anyone know if all cpu shots on Hall of Fame are perfect release shots?

I play HOF and I just had J. Lauvergne hit three deep contested fadeaways three-pointers on me, and his rating suggest that he couldn't hit water from a boat. Just wanted to see if anyone knew for certain. It seems like no matter the shot most open players, regardless of ratings, will nail a jumper, regardless of where they stand.

Just trying to understand the game better.

If i change the official 2k roster with real coach gameplans (Point of Emphasis), will they still be there when a new roster update comes?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Can I change the default freelance set (flex, corner, etc)?If so, how?

Don't have the game in front of me but I believe you push left on the d-pad to bring up the menu. At the bottom of the first screen should be RB or LB (Xbox One). Then push up on the right stick to bring up the list of freelance offenses. More options this year so you have to scroll through the pages to find the one you want. Then press the corresponding direction on the right stick.

After you make your changes save your roster. The new roster update will not have those changes.

Thanks but I meant how can I change definitely the set that each team has by default.


for instance, in MyLeague I had to manually choose "corner" at the beginning of each game. How can I make corner my default set for freelance offense?

i've replaced the current bulls roster with the 95 classic bulls roster in myleague and also changed to 95 bulls playbook under the coach settings. my default freelance offense is triangle now

if u know which playbook the "corner" freelance offense is, swap the playbook. u may get it.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

1. hold left trigger in protect ball post and turbo, release the left trigger while still holding the turbo and point left stick to where u want to go when the screen is set

Just curious.. Is this a workaround? Or is this how the game is programmed?
