    - spot up 3 max at 99
    - contested mid range at 10
    - spot up mid range at 0
    - offscreen 3

    I just played against the rockets using the custom roster in PNO offline (AS level) 11-min quarter. This is what I got.



    40 3-attempts as a team (rockets cpu) and 17 by Harden. If running the 2K default rosters, I'll probably get 20 for the entire team.

    Mackrel, u aware u could edit the tendencies in the team-players overview screen right? u dun have to edit the players individually.

      I'm definitely going to try editing the tendencies, cuz it's so annoying when the shooters aren't spotting up.

        There's a lot of work and time to commit even with the help of the team-player overview editing.

          Yh I realized cuz I just went through the entire roster. After almost an hr of editing i'm finally done. I left quick slashers that are good shooters untouched, but I increased the spot up tendency for all sharpshooters. It's amazing just how many sharpshooters 2k has with a lower tendency to spot up in transition. It was worth the time though, cuz now things are playing out much better in game. Shooters are spotting up for sure now and not mindlessly cutting to the rim, running into the defense like they were before.

              Just want to make a note here that specifically my guy wasn’t spotting up for three in transition but was spotting up inside the line instead. This could be a different issue than the number of threes an individual player or the team takes as a whole. The box score doesn’t show number of times a guy doesn’t spot up when he should’ve.

              The cpu doesn’t necessarily have the issue when it’s controlling the team. A guy like Bogdanovic will spot up behind the three point line for the cpu in transition but not for me as the user.

              I’ve had to settle for two point midrange shots in transition with Bogdanovic when he’d spot up behind the line on the fast break in the same situation nearly 100 percent of the time in real life.

                Were you able to fix it? I don't think there is a way to fix this outside of editing the tendancies in a custom roster right?

Just edit the roster, go to the tendencies of the players you want to spot up, look for spot up shot 3pt and put it to 99. I did that and now the players I edited spot up everytime in transition for me as the user.


                  I am using a custom roster I’ll have to revisit the spot up to see what it is. I know it’s higher than the default roster don’t believe it’s 99 and so it still happens.

                  This solution doesn’t work when you have to use a default roster which is what was being used in league play back when I highlighted this problem.

                  I posted because I didn’t want number of threes to be confused with the lack of spot ups behind the line.

                    Understood where ya coming from. The test that I ran had the tendency edited with spot up mid range zerolised, 3 pt shot, contested 3 pt shot and transition pull up 3 max at 99. The AI teammates do go to their spots.

                    User - Bryn Forbes


                    User - Tyreke Evans and Victor Oladipo



                    Having the spot up mid range zerolised could be the key.

                      What is it?

                      Go to the Roster screen. Press 'start' followed by 'OK'. The first screen is editing the attributes. Switch to the tendency page by pressing 'Y' (for xbox). Adjust the ratings by movig yor right stick up or down. Say, u want to zerolised the spot up mid range tendency for all players, go to that column and press 'A' once, then use the right stick to adjust downwards across all players. If u press 'A' again, u can adjust horizontally across all ratings. If u want to max the spot up 3 only for the shooting guards, tap the RT trigger until u see all the shooting guards only in one page and there u go. Press 'Y' and switch to other edits like badges, play type, play initiator.

                      This is the screen i'm talking about.

                        I understand the complaints are about the players not automatically spotting up behind the three point line. But is anyone using total receiver control? You can manually control where the player spots up.

                              Yeah hard to do in transaction especially when players (CPU) won't run down the court.

                              Users have to do too much work putting players in good position period. Back doors be open they never cut, they will run to the defender and not to open areas.
                              It's all really 2K's passing system!

                              Majority of the passes are behind the receiver not to mention the catch animations don't equal the speed or momentum of the player.
