Re: NBA 2K17 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

2) I use the Warriors in MyLeague and want to have my rotations set where I have the "death lineup" on the floor the majority of the game. Any suggestions as far as how to set up minutes to achieve this?

Yes, u can do so under gameplan > minutes > rotation. I'm assuming u are having substitution set as Auto as this is meant for this.

Note : The AI will not sub out the players who are in foul trouble.

Just wondering how others learnt playbooks.

May be a stupid question, but is it just doing the practice and figuring it out or is there some sort of streamlined way?

Hi guys
Hope this is the right place to ask my question.
Can someone give tips for running a 30 team control MyLeague?
Like, how do you decide which players to trade? and which free agents to go after?
Hope for a reply
Tnx

My pick n roll and screen defender AI guys suck ***....

When the offensive player rolls off the pick, I follow the offensive player.

My AI assistant defender just stands there and doesn't even attempt to follow the screener. The screener drives towards the hole and there's nothing I can do when the player I'm covering dumps it off to him for an easy dunk.

How do you tell the AI defender to actually follow the screener instead of just ignoring his reponsibility?

I have this exact same problem, did anyone offer any advice? I didn't spot any.

I play on Hall of Fame.

My advice isn't really much of a solution, but you're going to have to control both players using icon controls. And pretty much watch all ten of the players on the court. This is the only 2k game where I need to consciously be aware of all ten players and their position on the court. You're going to have to play on and off ball defense. On ball- only defense isn't going to work well. Sometimes you may even have to play off-ball defense entirely during those CPU screen sequence. Other times you have may have play direct on-ball defense during those CPU screen sequence. Just kind of have to watch their movements.

If the screener rolls to the basket, you're going to have to icon select and control your lagging AI teammate. You might have to switch back and forth multiple times to figure out how the other team is going to attack when they're setting screens.

PLEASE can someone tell me how to throw a lob???????

It's driving me insane!!

I call a pick n roll, wait for the roll man to cut to the basket.... point the left stick at him and double tap triangle but it NEVER works. Just throws a flat pass.....

Re: NBA 2K17 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I am looking for a good playbook to run with my MyLeague Grizzlies Team.

I drafted Lonzo Ball and his backcourt mate is Jordan Clarkson, So I have two good ball handlers and decent shooters.

Josh Richardson is my SF. Then i have John Collins a Big who can hit the mid range and Jarrett Allen who is mainly a post scoring player. Both are good PNR bigs.

I tried out Portland's PB last night and hated it. Does anyone know of a good PB with some good PNR plays, some decent get 3 point look plays and decent mid range big guy plays.

I like versatility in my PB. The best of luck I have had was the 13 Heat playbook but it's hit or miss.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I made a custom playbook book. A space and pace type of offense good for 3 point shooting and getting bigs to the rim for dunks and stretch 4's jump shots.

Here are some of those plays:

P&R
FIST 21 DBL
FIST EURO 15
FIST 62 GIVE
FIST 19
FIST 91 SWING DBL
FIST 71 STS

P&R FADE MID
FIST EURO 91 SIDE

P&R OPTION
FIST EURO 4 LIFT
FIST 24 ZIPPER
FIST 51 SIDE
FIST 91 SIDE
FIST LOOP
FIST 5 OUT

3PT
QUICK 14 STS
QUICK 2 DRAG
QUICK 1 SWING 2 UP
QUICK HORNS 12 LOOP
QUICK SWING 3
QUICK SWING 2
QUICK 12 HIGH
QUICK 2 SWING

MID RANGE
QUICK HORNS 91 FIST

These 3pt and Mid range plays are a lot of pnr with shooters coming off of pin downs as options.
