Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

I was looking in here to see if this is answered and I cant find it. Someone help me out. If we put these in for all of the teams will the cpu actually run these plays? If I see the cpu run the baseline screen to the SG I will scream. LOL. I think the reason I will scream is because I can see it coming and I will cheat over and get there before the SG and the PG will still pass it over there and the SG will STILL shoot and make the shot. DRIVES ME CRAZY LOL.

No answer yet bruh,...just hope for the best.

Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

Sucks that the PG Clearout & Guard Weave were taken out of the Knicks playbook. What would be another good playbook for the Knicks, Kruza?

The Bulls playbook is a good one to use for the Knicks. Along with the two plays you’re looking for, there are a number of additional plays that can be ran for Gallinari and the guards. The only drawback is that this playbook lacks low post plays for Randolph and Curry. But if you don’t plan to post up your big men all that much, this playbook might be the best to use. The Nets playbook is the same way.

The Clippers playbook doesn’t have as much variety for the perimeter players as does the Bulls playbook, but there are more low post plays for the big men.

Kruza, would you be uploading these playbooks on 2KShare? If so, under what gamertag? Thanks alot for your playbooks. Much appreciated.

I don’t think it’s possible to upload playbooks on 2K Share for this game like it is for CH 2K8. If so, I haven’t seen how to do it.

So Kruza, you havent found a way to make the CPU run the plays you gave when playing against them eh, only for the user?

I haven’t tested this out since I don’t play single player Association or Season modes, so I honestly don’t know if this works for the CPU.

Funny you mentioned the Nets Kurza, because that's the playbook I switched to. I kept four of your suggested SG plays and added some post-up stuff for Curry & Randolph. Curry's a big, fat lazy stiff IRL, but he's nice in 2K.

starters:
PG - Duhon
SG - Crawford
SF - Q-Rich
PF - Zach
C - Curry

bench;
PG - Nate
SG/PG - Marbury
SF/SG/PF - Chandler
PF/C - Lee
PF/C/SF - Jeffries
SF/PF - Gallinari
C/PF - Rose

This is the lineup I use. For me, it's more fun playing with the second unit. They're fast and versatile, with Marbury & Nate provide the scoring punch. It's a great group to press with. When I go up against the top SFs like LeBron, I put Jeffries at the three spot, Gallinari or Chandler at PF and Lee at C. As in 2K8, Chandler is a dunking machine.

Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

anyone know yet if the cpu will run these plays? Seems like a lot of work if the cpu doesn't run the plays.

Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

I don't want to post a new thread...so I'll ask my question in here:

How do we practice 5 on 5 again? I just want to run my plays against the CPU.

Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

I don't want to post a new thread...so I'll ask my question in here:

I go to Game Modes > Practice > Tutorial > Once the game loads I press start and go to tutorial options and choose either of the last two tutorials.

[stewaat]

Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

Thanks...also I found another way.

Just go into practice and hit switch sides...then do it again...make sure to change the defense to man defense.

Re: Official NBA 2K9 Playbook Thread

I guess nobody knows yet if the cpu will run these plays yet? Still waiting.
