Big men spotting up for catch-and-shoot Js or cutting; hardcoded into the game?

Or can you edit tendencies to tell power forwards and/or centers to float around in the mid-range area when the defense collapses, so the floor is spaced (and I'm talking about for CPU opponents, not for one's own teammates)?

As I type this, I'm watching Oklahoma City vs Dallas in a scrimmage (CPU vs CPU), with default ratings and sliders (just to make sure I hadn't messed anything up), and Dirk is spotting up at least 15 feet from the basket at almost all times, whereas Ibaka is constantly cutting.

Prior to this, I had made every edit I could think of to get Ibaka to play off-ball like Dirk (he doesn't spot up to the extent Dirk does IRL, but I just wanted to know that it was possible to make edits that would accomplish this). My attempts to make this happen include:

-Switching Dallas' and OKC's playbooks
-Raising Ibaka's mid-range tendency/rating
-Raising OKC's mid-range coach slider
-Raising global mid-range slider (success and tendency)
-Lowering global "Attempt Backdoor Cuts" slider

Everything failed. The most frustrating part is that he'll spot up from mid range while the ball is moving and such, but once a ballhandler drives and the defense collapses, he cuts to the basket instead of putting himself in position for an open kickout jumper.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Would it help if I provided video of the gameplay so you guys can see exactly what I'm talking about? Maybe seeing exactly what I see could make it easier to help me out, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Isn't there also a "spot up" tendency or has that been removed? You could try that. Not the attack basket/spot up tendency but way down the list. Might be under freelance. And I think I understood it perfectly. Ibaka is screwing up the spacing by cutting into the defense during a drive right?

i noticed when i was doing league games brandon bass hangs around the 3pt line, he is not in the paint.

same thing happens when i use Dennis Rodman.

I'm assuming your not needing this if your playing WITH Ibaka. if ur playing with him there are plenty of plays that u can run in numerous playbooks that will allow him to hit that little 15 footer.

now playing against ibaka and trying to get the opposing team to find him for that 15 footer is a different story. frankly the AI is not there yet. your best bet would be to edit a playbook and to make sure ibaka is always in that short corner. Even when a play is called for other players you should be paying attention to what and where he is on the court.
