NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

Hopefully persistent offense doesnt become another means to abuse using Melo and lebron online...there's already enough users who simply shoot every shot with these guys.

Also I hope 2k implements consequences for the constant pressure defense strategy such as faster fatigue. This is another thing that I foresee the majority of users online employing.

Other than that, playcalling sounds awesome. However, I wished you could choose quick plays where u decide which players post up.

The persistent offense and constant pressure has me somewhat worried about online. I can see someone setting all of their plays to cutters but if the defensive tools that are available make it possible to contain or stop, then it shouldn't be an issue. But something about constant pressure just screams FIFA pressure abuse to me. Hopefully the fatigue will counter someone calling for help every 2 seconds to double.

Are we going to have playcalling options in the demo this year?

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

I feel the same way but I hope if it is, it's adjustable. I want players to look like they've been playing 12 min. quarters even if they're only 5 min. Just some extended realism I guess. I dislike seeing guys full of energy closing out the game.

my point exactly

2k already had versions of alot of these settings guys....these settings have never turned your team superhuman...

if the T-Wolves turn up constant defensive pressure, it doesnt mean theyll become the Celtics. Even WITH the Celtics...turning up d pressure left you open to cuts....theres an advantage/disadvantage to everything like it has always been im guessing..

true statement as in real ball always an advantage/disadvantage to everything

This thread is about the Playcall system insight mate. I believe there are threads about rookies on the forum as well.

I don't think I've ever lost to the Heat when using the Bucks. Salmons locks DWade down for me and Mbah A Moute does work on LeBron too.

My last game online was with the Nets against the Heat and after losing for the first 3 quarters, I held LeBron and Wade to 5 points in the 4th combined and scored 18 with Deron Williams to win by 14 (the kid literally tried to score with Wade or LeBron every possession).

Yeah man! I love playing them with the Bulls...its slaughter...

The hardest Heat players to beat are the ones who use them correctly is whats funny...

I think it would be cool if you set your defense to defend aggressively that your guys tired more quickly. Kinda making it a risk reward type thing.

Ability to save these plays for online use will be the icing to this yummy cake!

I can only pray.

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

I understand your point. I'm not sure you fully grasped mine though. Here's an example... Offense: Leak Out - Defense: Lock down paint

When I am matched up AGAINST that strategy, I should have more open shots than contested. When I miss an open shot (assuming that his players already are in the lanes for outlet passes to break out), how do I counter "Leak Out."

I reanalyzed the screen shot and it think Collapse and Rebound is the only counter to "Leak Out" even though it's an offensive strategy.

The point I'm trying to make it that "Leak Out" is an offensive reward and a defensive risk. None of the other staategies affect BOTH offense and defense at once...but we will see come October

Yes I know what you mean. Collapse and rebound affects defense and offense as well. And I look more at the leak out as a counter to collapse and rebound. And indeed we will see.

I think we're on the same page, just saying it differently. I think that means it will be balanced.
