    shooting I say go to practice mode with the team you are using and learn each players hot zone on the court and release point.
    also make sure you dont press the turbo button when shooting, making sure you are squared up properly.
    even on catch and shoots dont press the turbo button. using turbo while shooting is a rushed shot.
    Thanks for the advice. Also yeah that makes sense that myplayer is a bit more consistent since most players have badges and its the same jumper every time.

      How do I change my playbook? I’ve gone into Coaching Options and it shows where I can change plays for players, but during gameplay, I have the same 6 plays each time. Like I want 2 plays for my PF, but how do I assign them to show up during manual gameplay?

        You'll need to give a bit more info to be honest. Are you playing with NBA teams? Is this in Myleague/MyGm modes?

        Most teams have 45+ plays, about 7 have about 25.

        Each playbook has about 8 types of plays (pick and roll, isolation, 3 pointer, post up high etc). You have the option of assigning each individual player 4 of these play types. So let's say you assign a player with only 'cut' plays, you will only see the cut plays show up in game when you want to run a play for him. But if you assign that player pick and roll, 3 pointer, iso and low post, you can choose to run any of those plays when you choose to run one for him.

        Does this help?

          If a player has been given '3 pointers' as part of their play types, calling for a player starting in 'quick' will run a screen play to get him open for a 3.

            For example, I’m playing MyLeague with Phoenix. One of the plays I set for Guyton was Pick n Roll. However when I bring up the pass calling window, that play isn’t one of the 6 being displayed (X, O, B, A, etc)

              He may have multiple pages of plays, maybe there's an option to press LT or RT to flip though pages of plays.

                1. How do I blow by defenders / beat them to the paint? I feel like the defenders stick to me like glue.

                2. How do I attack the basket when in a 1-on-1 and the defender is parked under the basket. When doing a layup I am always getting contested.

                  1.What mode are u playing?
                  2.Try euro step, hop step and spin layup. With the latter, u can also mix it up with up and under move.

                      Don't forget floaters. Remember you can euro or hop step and finish with a floater.

                        Which team are u using? Blowby is easier when u run with elite ball handlers like James Harden. The easiest way is to push the right stick up (on absolute) to trigger a size-up. After 2 dribbles, hold turbo and sprint off with left stick. Not all signature size up gives u the best blow by animation after 2 dribbles. Try out in practice and see after which dribble will give u that best blowby animation.
                        If u are good with sticks then holding turbo plus right stick down (dribble back away from defenders) can be yor go to move. Couple with size up hesitation (turbo plus right stick towards ball hand) can give u a better outcome with the cpu defenders shifting their feet. Yes, when u execute those moves, watch yor defenders and not watch yor player. The moment they shift their feet, thats when u turbo with left stick to blow by.

                        Personally, I like the hop step dunk better. Yes, totally forgot about the floaters. The cpu will just stand in the paint waiting to draw a charge. Floaters are op [emoji1303]

                          I’m trying to play with custom playbooks in play now mode (not online) and am having difficulty

                          So I went into my league and went into the coach gameplan and switched to user playbook1. I then edited the plays to the one I wanted and exited

                          Then in play now mode I switch over to user playbook 1 in the coach sliders. However it is the old playbook or at least not the one I edited.

                          Am I doing something wrong? Or am I not saving it correctly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

                            I just picked this up over the holidays. I know there is a gym to practice moves but is there a way for the moves to come up on screen and then let me make the button/stick inputs? Or do I just have to look up the move and then just practice without? I can't dribble for s***. Thanks [emoji1417]

                              What happens if I change the defensive settings at a start of the game? Will ACE override them?

                                Ace will not. The problem is .... some of the settings were broken.
