setting the offense

[Jachikevicius]

in 2k16 it was quite easy to use the 4-1 system but how can we spread the floor with 2k17 ?
i am lost in the new controls.
And how do you change players during timeout ?

thanks homies

Left on d pad you get a triangle and you choose space the floor by moving right stick to the left.

The screen closes so you need to press again left on d-pad.

Change press twice R1 (or R2 I don't quite remember) and you may see the 4-0ut 1 in dow, You move right stick down and you are ready to go

Try it on play now, 2ku, scrimmage or in an exhibition match

You cannot change players during a timeout. All changes take place after the NEXT dead ball. Its a bug. Super annoying.

Speaking of setting the right offense, I must admit that it's big pain for me with the current bugs. Not only substitutions are bugged but more importantly PoEs are not working, which obviously have big impact on the individual style of play and the offense. I was trying to find a coach with my prefered PoE but I'm not sure if the ACE is resetting it.

Well anyway I'm trying to start a 4-1 offense with elite 3PT shooters rotating into a 3-2 zone with athletic guys who are good at attacking the rim.

Does anyone already got experience with certain offensive settings in 2k17? Either for a 4-1 or a 3-2?

I was thinking for the 4-1 I should set "space the floor" paired with "pace" or obviously the "4-1" itself. Don't know which option is better or if there is another mentionable similar setup?

For the 3-2 it's probably better to go with Motion Cuts to attack the basket but I also dont know what scoring action means...

Would be great if anyone could enlighten me

Almost all years I play 4 out 1 space the floor. Then I normally use a pick from the center to the ball handler and then decide.
Space the floor vs motion cuts lead to less turnovers
AI players cutting own their own lead to passes turning over that lead to an opponent fast break.

My experience says that a low turnover basketball guarantees success in rttp/mto

In case you didn't know, you can do "instantaneous" substitutions if you just use the Pause substitution dialog.

An issue when it's PvP because that means a lot of pausing, but not an issue in PvCPU.

You just have to get a feel for it. There are multiple 4-1 freelances and each has their own particular formation (largely where the big is posted) and off-ball motions/actions. Look at Pace. Look at Warriors and Hawks too.

From what I saw, I think 3-2 Motion Cuts are not so much about attacking the basket as they are about providing pindown screens to free up a shooter on the perimeter. But I'm sure there are branches that are backdoor cuts to the basket.

The best thing to do is to go into Scrimmage mode and take time triggering and getting a feel for as many actions in a freelance as you can.

Some freelances will have certain off-ball actions that you prefer more than others. And some will be better suited toward your particular lineup than others. I.e. having your best shooters in the corners, while others may not.
