Re: NBA 2K18 Official Triangle Offense Thread

Has anyone made a tutorial video, or a video highlighting certain actions within the Triangle that are causing issues?

I plan on doing one soon. I just got all the previous 2Ks to help show what needs to be added as far as the set plays. I think with the new tech it won’t be as difficult to correct some of the issues with the freelance. Tbh I’m not sure they know there’s an actual issue. I hope to chronicle some of those soon

Re: NBA 2K18 Official Triangle Offense Thread

they need to have a setting for the triangle that makes it so you can keep specific players in the post, running the post with a player like shaq who usually would always be down low, but he's standing at the 3 point line, like in nba 2k's triangle, makes it so its an easy double team.

The points of emphasis system and scoring actions setting in 2K18 need to be tweaked big time. I think the closest thing we had to this working was in 2K16. Yes, 2K17 added the functionality for any player to fill the post in the triangle but it went a little overboard. If you’re not a PF or C, I think it should be based on your post tendencies.

I’m also noticing that when my guys get doubled in the post, the cutters aren’t stopping and making dynamic reads like they did in 2K16. And if you pop in 2K12, you’ll also notice that the spacing when initiating the offense was better. The players are further beyond the 3 pt line giving you spaces for passes.

I also believe adding more actual guard post plays will help us see the bigs like Shaq in the proper position too.

Well its like, just look how the computer plays against you in this game, they just run the same off ball 3 point plays and same screen plays , maybe less then 10 of them, and they can compete or even blow you out, so doesnt that say something about the game right there. They have all these plays, sets, and an abundance of offensive settings, yet the cpu can just run the same plays shooting 3 pointers primarily, and do just as good as you running numerous plays and sets etc. Sometimes the cpu doesnt even need to run a play, they just pass and shoot a contested 3 pointer and that can carry them through a game.

I think that’s all about ACE right there. If they’re beating you with something they’re not going to adjust.

Also we have several players with mid range play types assigned to them with NO MID-RANGE PLAYS IN THE GAME. Sorry for the all caps...lol....I just thought that was wild. That’s something we can fix. I’m doing the scouting now and putting them all in spreadsheet form too with notes.

Just played a 48min game with the 90s bulls. I set all of Jordan’s play types to none. While on the Scoring Actions setting the Freelance ran ISO play after ISO play for MJ. I don’t get it. I turned of ACE and the frequency didn’t go down noticeably. I turned on “Share The Ball” and still nothing.

What does this have to do with the triangle?

"What does this have to do with the triangle? "
Your question is not serious.

I think allowing us to initiate the offense further back towards half court will give us more space

Look how high up Fisher is...and how he steps to the right, gathers himself and sprints to the basket. We need that in 2K18

Yes...i agree the court should be longer but that is an overall game issue. That can't be solved by the Offensive AI developers and engineers.

I like this little vid because most of it is the Bulls running their Guard Dribble Series! It inspired the 21 series that D’Antoni uses and the Warriors have perfected. We need more ways like this to fill the Triangle against the defense. For the post ups the closest thing I’ve seen was in 2K11/12 with 91 Bulls Dub Post 1 & 2 and ‘87 (13) GIVE PUNCH 5 in 2K15-2K18. For the corner pick n rolls, I’ve been using FIST EURO 15 SPREAD in 2K15-2K18
