Agreed, 2K should bring someone like you aboard. Having things like this right out of the box would be amazing.

Ive just been messing around with these player dribbling tendencies. I upped Wall's driving crossover tendency to make him more aggressive off the bounce and capture that speed he has. He embarrassed Jameer first 3 plays of the game. Ill probably edit my roster to boost the driving lay up, attack stong tendencies...and to increase the driving crossover to at least double any other move of these explosive guards if this testing shows similar results.

Wow just played a full game against the Rockets.

Harden went 11/23. Lots of stuff off high picks. Howard went 11/18. Got lots of shots off those cross screens across the key. I started having to double a low post guy. I cant remember the last time that happened! I could not stop them. It felt really good.

The only issue was their lack of 3s attempted. They only put up 7. Your roster has their POE as get to the basket. Later on tonight, I will test them at get shooters open, and hopefully Dwight and Harden still work the PNR gane and DWight gets his touches down low.

Other than the (seemingly) hardcoded lack of FT issue, I think our Myleagues are good to go.

As I keep saying, you need to be a paid employee of 2K.

Ya, I just started toying with the rockets and I don't think anyone has the roster file with updated POE's because I'm pretty sure I never downloaded or shared it. I like the attack the basket for Rockets in theory as harden driving, beverly, etc but his tendencies should give that result regardless. Try PNR 1st and see what you get or maybe even test play through star. Ill mess with them next. The only thing I did with rockets was change some tendencies and haven't messed with POE's. 3pt lack of attempts is frustrating. Even at 100 3pt tendency slider I'm not seeing enough so for teams like warriors I had to up their 3pt standing, triple threat shot, and contested shot tendencies to see players jack a few more up. That works as I had warriors shoot 20 1 game and 19 another. Not to bad.

We are in more than good hands with the czar on dev team for a full cycle! The plays he got in this year (all new) was incredible! Some really great stuff! He had right actions in for a lot of teams its just that the quick stuff doesn't translate well for example the quick hitting pin downs for a shooter. Is that ran in real life with good results? Sure but in 2k it just doesn't and its kind of a pointless play call or waste of a play call. Im sure he will be adding branches in stuff like that to go into option B, C, etc like a lot of plays do have already.

Anyways, he did an amazing job giving us the tools and plays he did! Not to mention think about everything he did as far as removing all those broken plays and starting from scratch with just limited time to do it all. Pretty crazy really! I can't wait to see what he does with plays and freelances in 2-3 years!

@FloorGeneral

I have seen the bballbreakdown video and I liked all of the things that he brought up, but he highlighted set plays only whereas the flow of the kerr's offense is what is the most pleasing for me with all of the embedded automatics. The best information i've seen is at the link below. While still slightly incomplete, it comes very close to identifying the types of things they are trying to do.

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

The more I play with your playbooks, the more important I realise POEs become. Often I find the game can work against the great looks given by these plays.

I just played a few quarters against teams with attacking guards (Was/Denver).

e.g. the Nugz get a perfectly spaced P and R, Lawson has an angle to get to the hoop but either doesnt or pulls up for a J. Im going to experiment with these teams at 'Attack the basket'

And I think the CPU needs some fast break sliders for us to control.

I somehow think that POEs are overriding touches tendencies for CPU teams. Currently I'm simming a lot of CPU vs CPU games in a fantasy draft season to find out how the AI is ticking outside of possible real life team scripting going on, and it appears that offensive POEs are a bigger factor than touches.

For example, the Blazers are starting a Favors/Bosh frontcourt with edited higher touches tendencies. But the AI selects "get shooter open" as POE, resulting in Mo Williams and Ray Allen getting the majority of plays (not talking about shots here, but set plays with run plays at 100) with Bosh and Favors at 5-10 FGAs per game. The "look for post players" slider doesn't help either.

The main problem here isn't the POE concept itself, but the inability to select settings for CPU controlled teams. No matter what you choose as individual gameplan for an opponent, the CPU is always set to Auto at the beginning of games, and if you adjust in game, after a timeout they're back to the auto suggestion. Which means no matter how awesome Vann's playbooks are, the game mechanics prevent us from using them in the best possible way. Kinda frustrating.

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

When starting a MyLeague, do you need to control all 30 teams for the playbooks to transfer over for all teams? Or can I just choose one team and the playbooks will transfer to your playbooks for the entire league?

I know you need to use a "custom roster" and choose your playbooks for it to work. Am I missing anything?

Kind of sucks that rosters and playbooks are not separate entities...

Thanks!

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

I may be crazy, but I'm not seeing some of those sets you have up on the OP (ie UCLA) is it just the fact I'm on PS4 or are they somewhere else?

From my understanding, if you choose to use Vann's edited roster (which includes the playbooks) in the myGM, you'll get the playbooks

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

Bit of a noob here. Are these already released?? And if so, how do I implement them in game?

Also, do these fix the horrible bug of the CPU not shooting many three's?

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

Quick question. I'm inputting them the way you said with the last 3 point play first and so on and so fourth but it keeps changing the order of the plays. Does that matter?

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

Vann can you post what you have run plays at for each team, so I can update it on my end thanks.

Re: NBA 2k15 team play book thread

FYI if you guys are changing tendencies, please check out Al Jefferson. He pump fakes on almost every possession in real life and he shoots too many fade aways in 2K15. He loves to alternate between facing up and using post moves IRL. I'd love to see the CPU use him accurately.

Hey guys, without going into detail I have some family issues to deal with and be there with family so I will be MIA for a bit. Sorry and thanks for understanding...
