ATO, EOQ, or early offense wrinkle for corner shots off flare screens. 95 Fist Quick 12 never worked consistently but this year they’ve added 91 Quick 13 Fist Flare.

NBA 2K23 - OFFICIAL TRIANGLE SYSTEM THREAD (NEXT GEN)

I asked Czar to add some new one, specifically the “WTF” play.

Oh I've sent him many many plays over the years.

The baseline plays are terrible right now. We had some great ones before. Now it's all the same type of play it's Stack that goes no where.

So this retro version of “WTF” is in the game as a 3pt play but not as a SLOB play. Hopefully we can get this added.

You can also counter the play like Kobe did here for these game winners

Re: NBA 2K23 - OFFICIAL TRIANGLE SYSTEM THREAD (NEXT GEN)

Finally found a play with single double action after a wing entry. Last time I remember seeing this was in 2K16 when we got Czar to add FLOPPY 1 TRI. Prior to that we saw it in 2k12 (LAL Tri Floppy) with a ton of options.

This year we have the option of shooting off the double screen, reversing to the weakside and running the whole play, or resetting with motion. Loved finding this especially since I’m seeing the AI decision making of my AI teammates off screens isn’t the best.

We now have an even better alternative in the 2nd branch of MIN PUNCH 5 LOW.

One small issue: to activate the first branch you must pass the ball to the post within a very tight timing window. (As soon as I make the wing pass I have to count to out like “one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three” and pass the ball into the post on “three”). Hopefully this can be adjusted to give us users a second or two before the 2nd branch kicks off.

Elite thread. Do you have any recommendations for getting the CPU to run a deep and balanced play book?

Currently I set a freelance for them and switch off of them and they just seem to do that all game (which is better than nothing).

I think that’s heavily dependent on ACE (including it’s evaluation of matchups). As far as roster editing, you can try changing touches tendencies for the players so more players have plays called for them in general. Also diversify which play types are assigned for each player and make sure your playbooks are diverse and include plays from those play types. I typically have minimum of 5 plays per play type.

Re: NBA 2K23 - OFFICIAL TRIANGLE SYSTEM THREAD (NEXT GEN)

Brilliant!

Thanks so much. I've implemented some of the AtD/Vannwolf play books from 2k22 for 2k23 and they have 50 plays, which doesn't surprise me now you say that.

I'll try tune the plays players have assigned.

I've started to fiddle with the touch tendancies.

Thanks for showing me I was on the right tracks.

NP. And remember you can add up to 60 plays now on next gen

Re: NBA 2K23 - OFFICIAL TRIANGLE SYSTEM THREAD (NEXT GEN)

Has anyone else run into a frequent issue where an illegal screen is called after you pass into the pinch post and the corner person receives a pindown screen? I just want to see if I'm the only one or not.

Yes. And I hate it. We had the same issue last year but not as much.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I remember it happening last year also. I put in a ticket for it recently, but not really confident that it will get fixed now or even next year. Hopefully, it gets to the right engineers.

Let's just hope there is a Kobe mode for 2K24 similar to Jordan's and they give some more love to the Triangle.

Re: NBA 2K23 - OFFICIAL TRIANGLE SYSTEM THREAD (NEXT GEN)

Prol don’t wanna hear me ramble in this thread, but check it. I am playing mylg fantasy draft, and I got Kareem as a top ten pick. My team is lal with phil. I took good care of the other draftees too. I also use adjusted sliders which work ok except for Kareem!!

It really shows how bad the cpu is v triangle. I think people believe zone killed triangle, but I dunno. Still watching Kareem consistently get 70 is too funny. It’s not on unbelievable shots, either. Just smart set ups. Cpu running dudes at him, nothing, or too late. It really showcases the limitations of help d, but I do wonder If the no zone rule is hard handicapping.

But yea take a dumb c who can hit a lil and put him in triangle and watch how he demolishes defense. It’s something I feel devs could learn from.

Like Jeff Van Gundy says, most teams should continue to run their man offense against zone. The triangle is no exception.

Yea they’re not fixing it this year for sure. 2K support is trash. I’ve submitted two requests that never made it to Czar’s even though I specifically told them which team to contact. There’s no reason for the freelance to be running better on old gen. Especially with the Jordan challenge being in this cycle.
