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.
