How do I choose which player physically comes and sets the pick?
This one is annoying, but bare with me: Tap L1, Tap R1, then select player icon to get the exact screener you want. I don't like this set up at all personally

Oh geez. Why would they change it when it used to be so easy and fluid imo. I guess I'll adjust over time.

I’m looking forward to some dribbling tutorials. I’ve never been good with the complex dribbling system in NBA 2K, but I’m keen to learn this year.

Which offense would be the best option for constant motion/cutting? I don't want to run screens, plays or manually tell guys to where to be, I want movement (fill behinds, corner fills, dunker relocation, weakside cuts...) on all of my drives. Not sure if this is an option in 2k or not.

Similar to how they changed up how you select your screener, to pull up the quick play menu in game for specific players on the fly, you have to do the Positional Playcalling on the quick menu ... really don't like the extra click through for this as well as for picking your screening.

Are these just flicking the LS? Holding any modifiers or anything?
