I need to be sure about this PM. So if we change the 4 quick plays for the CPU, they will run them? Do you also have to change the offensive strategy from Shooter A to say Rocket Fuel(if you were to play vs the Rox?)

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

PM, Just curious whether there is a way that you can set the teams strategy other than going into the pause menu, switching teams, adjusting plays, then switching back?

I havent seen a way to do this yet.

Also, i did notice that even though the stategy for say the Rockets is set to Shooter A by default, but when i went into their Offensive Plays, they had Rocket Fuel assigned to one of the quick plays.

I checked out a few teams, Miami had Power C in theirs, Sonics had Sonic in theres, Phoenix had Rising Sun in theirs.

Just wondering if maybe the Offensive Strategy makes any difference because when i change it from say Shooter A to whatever, then go back in to the playbook, nothing changes.

Have you noticed this as well?

I think it could be like last year, where if you changed the team strategy they won't run their lanes as well. Maybe shooter A should be named fastbreak or secondary break. I haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but I did notice that the suns were not breaking as much when I changed it. Also the Zipper play runs well for spacing if you run a small lineup and want your power forward to be on the perimeter like Marion last year.

The bottom 4 quick plays can be assigned as set plays. The top 4 are locked in already they can't be changed. Those Quick plays are designed for the CPU to call during certain situations. The Bottom 4 Quick plays is how I"m going to get the CPU to the best SET PLAYS that fit their top players.

For Example San Antonio Duncan is going to have two of those bottom 4 quick plays designed for him specifically. Right now Scoring PF and Power PF both get the ball in Duncan's hands more often and take the main offensive focus off of Ginoboli who was getting too many shots with the Spurs current Play Book. I don't have a problem with Ginoboli shooting but Duncan should and always will be their #1 option. So, to accomplish this you have switchup the QUICK PLAYS to favor the playcalling for Duncan and he'll also be utilized with the TEAM SPECIFIC Play under playbooks aswell. Most of the Playbooks are set to fit each teams strength already but the Quick Plays are being used more often then the selected play listed under PLAYBOOKS.

Unfortanetly, EA refuses to give us this option like they do Madden and NHL. So, we have to do it by switching controllers again this years. I know it's frustrating because like you I would rather just jump right into the game but if we want the CPU to run the plays that best fit their top players throughout the game we have to update it each game or they will play with the DEFAULT plays listed.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

Well it does look like alot of the sliders carry over very well from last year's game. It appears that EA beefed up the offense more so most of the offensive sliders I've dropped down from my set of last year about 8-10 clicks. But it definetly seems like the sliders carry over this year. They won't identical to last year but very close and that helps to speed up the process and work on plays more.

Sounds good....ill be waiting.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

Base set sliders are up now. Check them out when you have time and make sure you test play vs Houston so you can see how the Playbooks work.

As usual with my sliders they will continue to change until I find them ready for FRANCHISE or SEASON play. That means as I work my through each teams playbook the sliders will most likely change aswell but not too far from the base set I've posted.

I feel you but I had to find away to get the minutes atleast around 9 or 10. If you go with 50 speed I would lower the minutes to 7-8 because there will be too many shots roughly around 90+ per team.

So, tryst me I love the gamespeed at DEFAULT this year but it was producing too mant shots. Maybe once I get done with every teams playbook it will help to cut down on the total shots because teams will move the ball around more then I can test it at 50.

The Human player will alos factor into this aswell because if the Human player doesn't push the tempo of the game then that way shots will stay down at 50 gamespeed aswell. So, I'll see over this weekend how that works out. But 45 isn't too bad once you get the feeling. I think because of the DEFAULT speed it will take sometime to adjust playing at a slower speed.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

TEST TEAM HOUSTON

GO TO PLAYERS: TRACY MCGRADY/YAO MING

TEAM STRATEGY-POWER C

QUICK PLAYS-SET BOTTOM 4 PLAYS IN THIS ORDER:

SCORER SF
HIGHFLYER SF
ROCKET FUEL
POWER C

Playmakers has the glitch been fixed where last year if you changed the team strategy that the players would not run at all for the fast break opportunites they would just go to there starting point for the designed play?

Ok i will try them out at 45 and see if i like the speed, if not then back to 50 with about 7 minutes is what i will do.

Oh btw what setting should SHOT CONTROL be on with these sliders?, USER or CPU?.
