    Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog with Plenty of Gameplay Videos (via @Da_Czar)

    Czar, i'm really looking forward to the new installation of procedural module and series. It just makes the AI even more potent (we can hardly cheat the defense as it has counters) and unpredictable with different set of plays assigned to the cpu star players.

    I didnt see any Triangle Series in place. Is it largely due to the fact that its original freelance already built with dynamic branches and that already gives us plenty of offense options?

    I see some potential in series that freelance doesnt exhibit currently. For instance, with MJ in the post the wing swings the ball to top of key. In a triangle action, the wing and corner player collaspe to the post to set up a double screen to free up one of the players for mid range shot. An alternative action would be for the post player (MJ) to do a back screen to the defender at the wing and allow the wing to cut to the basket.

    Another example is post entry pass. The default action - wing and corner player cut into the key, with the wing setting a screen to free up the weak side post player for catch and shoot. In a series, instead of both cutting to the key, have them to screen each other on the strong side and create catch and shoot opportunity.

    The other series I have in mind is the Suns playbook from offensive-guru Alvin Gentry. Lots of dynamic reads and action (besides the pick and roll which they run 80% of the time with Nash).

    I'll post some vidz.

      If you want him to cut to the basket every-time that number needs to be 25 or below. Then split the range for options like 50/50 etc.

      I knew we covered that situation some how.
      This very interesting info Czar. It will cause me to rethink how to balanace game play and sim stats. Cause as far as I know, a player’s shot distribution in a myleague sim is based on his location tendencies. Raising guys spot up tendency to 75 will have an effect on PIP ,etc.

        Thinking about A.I. this year, Czar will the CPU sub a player when he is in foul trouble in 2k19? I hated when this wouldn't happen in 2k18.

          It was the general 3 point tendency that changed the shot distribution. Spot up 3 was a category under that.

            Hey Czar,

            Do you know if there is a push to have all online H2H modes have similar difficulty settings? It was irritating to be playing NBA 2k18's MyTeam on Pro/Allstar then switch over to PNO and the game was on superstar settings and felt much better in terms of shot % and defense.

            I imagine the lower the difficulty, the less we see the CPU take advantage of user mistakes

                LOL. Good stuff fam. The work that was done was on the advanced rotation side of the house. OG did some work on time-outs that he may mention in his blog so I'm not going to say much on that side.

                The only issue with advanced rotations I still see is when a player is playing multiple positions and has a lot of minutes assigned and there is not a quality secondary player at that position that still seems to muck up the default advanced rotations screen.

                So both of those should be better but it is still an area where we can improve.

                Right now the AI using advanced rotation and the AI handling autorotations are not really the same. It is kind of use one or the other. the engineer that owns this is ALWAYS busy with heavy lifting elsewhere in the game.

                So honestly this one may take some time for us to work out simply because of resource allocation.

                Right now I am just trying to slowly improve it and touch it each year as that seems to fit comfortably in his schedule. The compromise was, he did add advanced rotations for me a couple years ago (that was a huge ask) as a way to allow users like yourself more control. But to integrate it better with the Autosub is an even bigger task and we may never have time for that.

                In our game, the sub-logic and the lineup logic are two different systems controlled by two different sets of engineers and producers.
                Appreciate the response brother. I know the auto rotations and the advanced rotations are completely separate, I just meant that when I assign minutes through the basic gameplan screen, they show something different on the advanced rotation screen which is what the CPU follows by default for auto rotations. On that screen you can see how they are scheduled to play the whole 4th quarter for example.
                Once I set the advanced rotations (both for myself and the CPU), then the CPU follows those strictly, which is nice. I just deal with them not subbing out guys in foul trouble its not the end of the world.

                Even if the improvements are marginal, as long as we have advanced rotations I'm good big Czar, so thank you for your efforts in that area and thank you big time for getting them in a couple years ago. Not all heroes wear capes.

                  I wasnt sure about buying the game. After playing de prelude and reading da_czar blog, I’ve bought the lebrons edition. This year the gane rocks

                    Yeap the first video shows how passing has improved,too and chest passes especially a lot more crisp than ever. Handoffs are nice and all that. I haven't seen any area that hasn't been touched by gameplay team...

                          Basically the ai seems to make decisions that break the sequence making it nearly inpossible to get to some of the final options in particularly long sequence of action. Like the pressure release options in the triangle freelance

                            I thought u were mentioning smtg on onball screens in the video. Weird to me cos there is only 2 onball screen actions in the triangle and the rest are all offball screens. I'm not sure if the UCLA action is incorporated into the freelance but if yes, that will make up 3 onball screens.

                            If u bring the ball up to the wing, is the triangle set on strong side?

                                Im controlling Harrison Barnes. I pressed steal when I shouldnt have. I get slightly out of position, and CPU Aaron Gordon cuts back door on me. Instant recognition. Brilliant.
