Question about the playcalling system and assigning plays

I'm kinda confused on assigning plays for the bench players. I see that in the system it has plays for 'Backup PG', 'Backup SG'...etc. What I have a a bench full of SF and PF's? How will it handle the plays for Backup PG and how does it assign plays for the backup SF and PF if there is only one play designed for each? Thanks.

I cant even figure out HOW to call plays outside of D-pad RIGHT....Not the Biggest 2K player (last version was 2K7) so that might be the issue.

I just want to know how to pull up QUICK PLAYS and POSITION plays...Says press LB but that literally does nothing for me.

I need some help.

Bench plays share plays between all players at the position. so if you have 3 sf on your bench the 4 bench plays will show up as plays for all 3 of them when they enter the game.

if you have no bench pg those plays can NOT be reassigned to another bench position.

Its not ideal but they did give us a way at least to have different plays for our bench players.

to use the new playcalling system press the lb and then icons appear over each players head. select the icon for you player you want to call a play for and then his 4 plays will pop up and then you select the icon for that play.

So a successful play call would be lb then a to select your pg then a again for the first play in his 4 play playbook.

Another question, if I put a SF at the SG spot will the backup SF plays follow or will the backup SG plays follow?
