Need strategies for getting a good look from the 3 pt line

[jadert]

I'm in a Knicks association and have about 5 great three point shooters. Fantastic right? Well I have problems getting them open for three. The CPU usually traps the screen and their players generally close out pretty fast on my shooters (I'm not going to even mention their speed when it comes to catching up on the fast break).

I play on All Star level and I usually have good games with them, but with the three point shooters that I have, I want to play a perimeter based offense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is hard to open up outside shots because the defense doesn't collapse like teams do in real life. The best way to open up shots is to force a double team in the post. Go to Randolph or Curry early in the game then they will start to double team.

There are some plays that will open up three point shots. I use motown music (PG/SF pick n pop up top), drive and dish (I think that is the name) and also some of the box plays with two curl/fade screens.

Also the lead pass is the key to getting players to fade to the three point line. good luck!

Like J.R. Locke said, force the double teams.

I get off about 20-30 a game. I run plays that get my shooting guard/small forward an open shot. SG Corner is a good one, also, drive and dish (above post had it) is a good one. You have to run plays, and it seems to me that when I do my shooting percentage is better. It might not be, but it seems like it.

Is lead pass just holding down the pass button? I wish they had implemented the system that was used in College Hoops where u could tell your player to throw lobs, bounce passes, chest passes etc.
