How to use Off-Ball control...

I have had this game since release and still haven't figured out how effective to use it beside setting a pick... What about the other three options as well?

Whenever I press the left bumper(360) I can never seem to select a specfic player to come off a screen, post-up etc.

What is the correct way to use off-ball? Thanks guys

Umm... after you press LB and keep holding it, you have to use the right stick to cycle through players. Once a green circle appears under the player you want, you can select whatever option you want for them to do.

Sorry for not responding but I have been extremely busy... By me pressing LB then right stick to cycle thru players I can have my pocket picked at the same time I noticed so what gives? Am I not making my selections fast enough or what

I always use D-pad to scroll through the players. You get used to it a lot. I use all of them a lot except the Get Open option.

Re: How to use Off-Ball control...

Off Ball Controls are VERY helpful. Because of ti you can erase 4 plays in your playbook and replace those "default" plays with them.

I love it and i love it!

Yeah you can get rid of Quick Screen, Pick and Roll, and Post up. I always use Isolation and post up though.

I always use the off ball control, because you can choose who you want to set a screen for you rather than having the PF do it every time.

I only keep ISOLATION. I have it mapped to B for every team under the play calling menu.
