That's the "easy way out" of ball screens. The help doesn't rotate in a realistic way either so that doesn't help matters any. I THOUGHT that by controlling the on ball defender and using the right stick you could determine whether he would fight over or under the screen, but that only worked a couple of times before I started getting hammered by the screener again. Of course, the cpu just slips around ball screens with ease..

I myself have found On-Ball defense to work on this quite a bit, but you can always call a timeout and set an on-ball screen setting either on the player rolling, or the guard. ICE usually works the best for me, it gives just enough space to where they can't roll straight to the rim, but it's nowhere near perfect. Mismatches occur when players that can shoot, ie; Chris Bosh, Al Horford, Demarcus Cousins, get an easy mid range or even a flare/fade out to the 3 point line. In this case, Switching is your best bet, and will cause a mismatch that usually has you on the losing side, but a small defender is better than no defender, in this case I find that a rotation usually works, and traps the Center with the ball on the top of the key.

There was a lot of talk about keeping offenses on freestyle and that the movement was organic without having to call plays. I feel as if my offenses are rather stagnant if I am not calling plays and I'm not seeing the movement many others are getting. Is there a setting that I need to change in order to get this to happen?

Set Playvision to FULL and Playvision for ALL PLAYS to see the trigger points of the freelance offense.

Not 100% sure but it's either Gameplay Options or Coaching Options.

Buyer be aware..... Remember what your players strong hand is dunking. Went in on break away dunk with John Wall. I pressed it to the right (totally forgetting that he dunks with his left hand.) And he blew the dunk. It's something to keep in mind when using.

Aside from the video posted in this thread are there any other tips on how to amass VC a bit quicker than simply playing? I think you should get more for having a good game versus a bad game; there's not much of a range there it seems from me playing poorly to playing great.

I bought a couple of tattoos, how do I apply them?
