Da_Czar's Freestyle Offense Show Q/A

That is beautiful.

There are so many branches for the set. I love it. I love getting Parsons on that initial cut in to the key, if its timed perfectly, I got get the D to collapse on him and set up a kickout to the corner.

This is really exacerbated online where I can't seem to get into my set fast enough into the shot clock and my opponents tend to run around like lunatics pressuring the ball, spamming X, etc.

Maybe try the top of the key trigger point; you may find it quicker. I get it started with about 14 secs left on the clock.

Sorry, I should have followed up on this.

So, it turns out the issue was I was playing Knicks with default freelance and I assumed it was triangle. But with Porzingis on the floor, the AI is running 4 out.

So I was looking to make the initial pass to the wing or looking for some pinch post action and nothing was happening the way I expected.

Czar released a great video on this stuff if you want to have a look.

Quick question: During freelance when the "A" is above the person's head, should I just Tap A, or hold "A" down. In addition, do I have to point the L stick in the direction of the "A" as well. I really want to start running more of the offense, so I want to make sure I am doing it correctly.

Quick question: can you point out the UCLA plays that you mentioned you were adding to the triangle?

I will get that changed once updates start rolling out. No. I can't say when that will be.

No worries. Hey, I have so much to relearn to make my sorry butt have way respectable in this game, the default setting is the least of my problems!

But I'm not crying, and not part of the crying chorus. I get to work!

It's in the Clippers' playbook.

So from what I've read, it seems that the motion setting this year runs the purest form of the offensive system. Whereas last year it seemed like the freelance setting was the purest form with space the flow and motion modifying it depending on if you wanted more or less movement.

Czar's latest video said that Motion is indeed the best setting to put the freelance offenses on if you want them to run in their purest form.

Space the floor will completely kill all of your AI teammates' motion, and makes them only move when you tell them to.
