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

At a minimum I’d add these new ones. I think ‘02 Punch Low Tri might be broken because nothing happens after the ball goes in the post but you can always use the motion button to trigger movement once the ball is in the post.

Not sure which Gen console everyone had for ‘22 but check out the old blog for next posts I made throughout last year. Those Las Vegas Aces Fist 34 PnR plays are what I mainly use for secondary break actions so add those too. Once we get the ability for all 5 players to occupy each trigger position on the floor like we do on Gen4 it’s gonna be crazy!!!

that's actually good idea. will they do triangle motion cuts when you press motion cuts from the post, or some other 3 out 2 in, type stuff

If you’re in triangle freelance they’ll space and then cut or wait for another pass that will trigger the actions

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

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

i got such a noob question.

first NBA2k in a couple of years.


how do i run plays? when i push d-pad > left

all it gives me is the same generic favorite plays? Do i need to change those favourite plays into custom plays? But even then, seems wild that there's a million preset plays but i can only access 3 or 4?

what am i missing?


thanks in advance

I plan on doing that as well. I’ve been traveling since the 11th so I haven’t had time to do so yet. The team that will take the longest will be the 2005 lakers who switched back to the triangle mid-year but still ran some sets like Horns that flowed into sideline triangle spacing. There are a few plays like that we can incorporate.

I just got back and haven’t gotten through them all but here’s an example of a play from the Horns sets Lakers ran a lot in 2005

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

thats a good triangle play from the horns set. to see these playbooks change over eras will be fresh

I have some games from 2005 saved on YouTube that I will start watching soon to see what we have in game. One thing I always try and do is only include plays and wrinkles I’ve seen ran IRL. So this whole Eras thing is really gonna have me playing the game a lot for the entire cycle for the first time since 2k19. Can’t wait.

What’s the best way to run this system in PNO??

Sorry but can you be a little more specific with your question? I don’t play PNO so I’m not sure what would be different than running plays in any other mode.

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

I’m mostly referring to playbook to use, how to maybe set up quick plays, etc

It all depends on how you like to run offense and the players you have tbh. Do you call plays or do you run them manually? Do you have a dominant scoring post player or a post playmaker or none of the above? I have been calling plays manually forever so my “quick plays” are common plays that I add first to the custom playbooks so they show up first in OTFC menus in game. I use the first five favorite play series options to run motion cuts, quick hit ahead post plays, secondary break plays. Then I choose the last 3 for plays to exploit the most advantageous matchups:

MOTION
02 PUNCH 35 DOWN POINT
W FIST 34 UP MID
02 FIST 25 QUICK DOWN
PUNCH 1 FIST
GIVE 42 TRI
02 GIVE 43 ELBOW SWING (I assign this to a center)
91 GIVE 53 ELBOW PUNCH
CUT 31 UCLA TRI

I made some edits today. I added some more options for early offense, secondary break, zone offense, open set, and more No. 2 to the top variations. You’ll also see I added some plays that are era specific such as single and double drag screen sets and some zipper action used in seen in 2005 and those Gasol-Odom-Bynum teams.

I’ve been busy af starting my new job but I’ll try post a few vids each week moving forward.
