Im sick and tired of Bigs on the 3pt line and poor spacing..

[Jesus]

Im cant believe how many times I have broken down the defense only to find that instead of being in a position to take advantage of the helping defender, my big is spotted behind the 3pt line.

I found that many bigs actually have a small tendency to spot up out there, so i took the time to lower it to zero and low and behold, it still happens.

I also hate when my big is open in the midrange and i pass it to him without a direction pressed, and his momentum takes him out to the 3pt line or damn near.

And finally, why on earth do players stand in the passing lane of other teammates making it possible for one defender to hold two players? This happens most often when a P&R is ran on the wing.

Call more plays. Standing around and doing stupid things generally mean the AI teammates have no plan so they go someplace to die.

I call plenty plays. Its when the plays breakdown and you have to create on the fly that the cpus boneheaded decisions come to light.

That's what I mean... unless the shot clock is that low, just reset and call at least another quick play to get the team circulating so you have cutters, bigs going to the block, etc... I find it really helps.

It can also be part of the spacing in the play

Or maybe this just isn't the game for you. I bet if you try hard enough you could find a copy of NBA Elite. That might satisfy you.

You are %100 correct. I am so sick and tired when I penetrate with my PG and see my bigman camping at the 3pt line instead he should be cutting to the basket. I would understand was a good shooter but he is not , and i feel we dont have to refer to the plays just to make this happen because in reality, the bigmen who dont shoot well would cut to the basket when seeing a penetrator .

2K please fix this in next patch.

I'll look into that, but in the mean time, I would like you to take the same effort you made to come up with that brilliant statement and uses it to avoid any thread or post with my name in it.

Not really seeing this issue, and I dont run any plays but quick ones.......

This is actually one of my favorite things about the game.....the driving and dishing.....I dont have a problem with it at all....

The only thing I can really agree with is the pick and pop positioning. When I played on broadcast, it was a chore to swing the ball back at the proper angle, or w\o having the popper move....not an issue on the 2k cam though...

Im talkin about when the play breaks down.

yea, i did as i said in my first post.

maybe im misunderstanding, what do you mean by quick plays?

Re: Im sick and tired of Bigs on the 3pt line and poor spacing..

I agree with OP. Offensive players don't know when to cut and I've even had the problem of players being wide open for a three(Pierce, Nowitzki, etc) and cutting to the basket toward a defender right when I pass the ball resulting in the defender stealing my pass.

This really becomes a problem when I isolate a player that's on fire and the other team's bigman comes to double me and my big man(Dwight Howard in this example) is just standing there on the 3pt line watching me getting doubled instead of cutting through the wide open lane.

Yes Yes Yes....and I forgot about the bolded, if you are spotted up and open, just stay there for goodness sakes. And if you are going to move, move to improve the passing lane, not crush my spacing. Also, i find myself trying to counter that by pressing the direction away when passing to them, but then they wont move and I often take them out of their range.
