The key to offball movement 24/7 without calling plays

[Gotmadskillzson]

Put isolation under freelance in the tendancy section for players at ZERO. That's right ZERO. Basically this setting causes players to just stand around like a bump on a log when you don't call a play or a play breaks down. And by default 97% of the roster, players have isolation at 99 or in the 90s.

This why when you bring the ball up court and don't call a play players just stand there. And usually they clump together on the right side or left side, you would see 3 of your teammates just standing there until you call a play or if the play you call breaks down, they will just stand there again.

So instead in the freelance section raise set picks, use picks, post, spot up, set screens, use screens. The difference is night and day. You will see your teammates moving all around the screen trying to get open.

By constant movement it also opens up the court too. No longer will the paint be crowded. More importantly, you will now have off ball movement constantly.

Great idea but you'll have to change this for every player on your team and every player on the opposing team to get the best results. That's a very annoying task to do. Unless there is a better way.

2K Insider has some work to do. This really messes up My Player since you can't call plays.

The issue with My Player is a lot deeper than just players standing around. I've seen 8 year olds play better team basketball than the garbage on My Player. I mean honestly, some of the shots your teammates take (or sometimes don't take) are just

Thanks for the heads up! I'll try it out for sure

Re: The key to offball movement 24/7 without calling plays

That´s a great find, sure will test this out

That´s my biggest annoyance with gameplay. Right now if i call a postplay f.e., the only way to get movement (cutters to the basket f.e.) is to call another play on top of the real play ...

Damnit, 2k really needs to start fixing the tendencies. Its like they put no thought into them AT ALL.

Re: The key to offball movement 24/7 without calling plays

Gonna try this later, doing this for 32 teams is going to suck......

Re: The key to offball movement 24/7 without calling plays

Just do them one team at a time when playing that team.. I will test this out.

This is not something gamers should have to put work in trying to fix. The game shouldn't have been shipped with this issue. Hopefully they anticipated the problem and had planned on patching it.

Plays are fine just put it on auto and you'll always get movement...just aother thing to whine about

Awesome... lol. And to the guy who says you gotta do this for every team... nah the other teams do alright. I'd just edit my own players. I gotta try this in my association and see if it works...

Thanks dude.

Here's what I have found to work rather well.

Set your offense to "manual" in the coach settings.

When you start a game, and have the ball on offense, press to the left with the D-pad.

Turn "running plays" all the way up. Most teams have their "running plays" below half and I've seen some as little as 1/4.
