    Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

    I just started testing out the Pelicans playbook this week, and the first play that caught my eye was Quick Horns Swing 52.

    It's designed to get shooting point guards like Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving an open three point look at the wing coming off a staggered screen, but there are lots of other scoring options in the play that come before and after you pass the ball to the point guard:

    <iframe width="540" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ytfFoq5p_Ks" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Option #1 -- Top of the key three pointer with center
    Option #2 -- Wing three pointer with small forward
    Option #3 -- Post entry pass on weakside block with power forward
    Option #4 -- Point guard shoots after coming off staggered screen
    Option #5 -- Shooting guard flares out to the three point line after setting screen
    Option #6 -- Point guard can drive to the rim off the catch or wait for pick & roll with center
    Option #7 -- Point guard can run give & go with center if he can't shoot or drive off staggered screen
    Option #8 -- Shooting guard cuts to basket off point guard's screen
    Option #9 -- Point guard flares out after setting screen for shooting guard

    Lots of teams in NBA 2K16 have Quick Horns Swing 52 or something else with a similar name, so you don't necessarily need the Pelicans playbook to run this set.

      How do I extend staff contracts in MyGM?

      In the 2nd season with the Bucks and i'd prefer to extend Kidd's contract in season instead of risking losing him to another team in a bidding war.

          how are you supposed to throw an alley-oop out of bounds for situations when you only have 1-2 seconds on the clock?

              Control one of the players on the court, run towards the rim, and double tap the Y button.

                Fist 91 Thru (Pelicans playbook) uses a mixture of cuts and screens to create multiple scoring options for your point guard, power forward, and center:

                <iframe width="540" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D-AGlK4rTOA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                Option #1 -- Point guard cuts to the basket for a layup
                Option #2 -- Center posts up on the nearside block
                Option #3 -- Post man passes to top of the key for a three pointer
                Option #4 -- Wing passes to top of the key for a three pointer
                Option #5 -- Power forward cuts to the basket during post up
                Option #6 -- Point guard shoots coming off screen
                Option #7 -- Point guard passes to center coming off screen for a shot
                Option #8 -- Point guard goes into double ball screen if no shots are available

                  If you have a shooting guard with a strong post-up game like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, Fist Swing 14 (Pelicans playbook) will put the SG in perfect position for an easy post entry pass early in the shot clock.

                  The other primary action of this play is simultaneous off-ball screens for the shooting guard and the point guard, which both have some nice secondary options if the three point shot isn't open right away:

                  <iframe width="540" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/26nXwVuWMKA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                  Option #1 -- Shooting guard posts up nearside block
                  Option #2 -- Point guard cuts to basket after post up
                  Option #3 -- Center shoots top of the key three pointer
                  Option #4 -- Shooting guard comes off screen for corner three
                  Option #5 -- Shooting guard passes into post if he can't shoot
                  Option #6 -- Shooting guard cuts to basket after post up
                  Option #7 -- Point guard shoots or drives coming off screen
                  Option #8 -- Point guard goes into pick & roll with center

                    Control the dunker and run around picks to free up, then go hard to hoop, and double-tap triangle. (It's not easy though, I haven't been able to do it too often.) Here's me using Durant for one:

                        As far as I know its not something you can really control. I love the game and the targeting system is great, but that's the one complaint I have. I wish there was a way to sling a hard pass into the paint, or wherever you need to throw it. Kind of like Fifa has the direct passing which is a harder, but not as easy to make, pass.

                          Ranked in order of pass speed:

                          flashy pass > regular pass > icon pass > lead pass

                            Ok I was took to start a thread but I'm praying that this is just soemthing I'm doing wrong or I'm going to snap this disc!!
                            Ugh.. So, hi! My question relates to player movement. Why can I not dribble? The movement seems to have changed. My players are always stop/starting and moving, how do I explain... Driving to the basket seems impossible, I come off s pick there's a clear lane I'm directing my player with the left stick (obviously) and he's just standing there! Muscle memory has me usually pressing shoot, for what would normally be a lay up but due to the lack of movement it becomes this awkward late release trash. I've played 2k games for a long time, I'm not the best, i wouldn't even say in good, but FFS I couod at least have my players move in a direction I wanted them to previously. Is this just me or has anyone else noticed this? It's happening on all game modes. My team, my career and even gauntlet. It's pretty much unplayable right now. Camera angles/absolute or camera don't seem to make any difference. Any help appreciated.

                              When it was that bad for me I bought a new controller . That helped a ton. There are still times when the game won't let me drive but it's better

                                Thanks for the reply. Since my post I've noticed some guys in other threads speaking about input lag both online and offline. I dunno, I've just never experienced it as bad as this. At this point I'll try anything so a new controller it is. Cheers
