Will something be done about the lack of moving screens being called?

[Ferweezy]

This is a huge issue in the park and pro am. Teams abusing knowing it won't be called. It don't make sense it was called last year but this year they take it out?

Well to be fair they don't call them in the NBA in real life so I wouldn't say it's that unrealistic. I don't play park so maybe it is bad, but go watch KG or Draymond set screens along with many others, they're always moving.

The Blazers led the league in illegal screen calls at around 1.2 per game. The warriors averaged 0.9 per game.

It was waaaaay overboard last year. The rule is not "must be stationary".

Although I have literally not seen it called once, going backnto last year would be terrible.


"A player who sets a screen shall not (1) assume a position nearer than a normal step from an opponent, if that opponent is stationary and unaware of the screener's position, or (2) make illegal contact with an opponent when he assumes a position at the side or front of an opponent, or (3) assume a position so near to a moving opponent that he is not given an opportunity to stop and/or change direction before making illegal contact, or (4) move laterally or toward an opponent being screened, after having assumed a legal position. The screener may move in the same direction and path of the opponent being screened.

In (3) above, the speed of the opponent being screened will determine what the screener's stationary position may be. This position will vary and may be one to two normal steps or strides from his opponent."

I think they made it this way purposely. Call it the Draymond Green Effect.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the screen where the offensive players pushes 1-2 defenders to the paint which allow players to be wide open.

What people are doing is calling multiple screens with the intentions and hopes that the defender(s) get caught in the animation. The ball handler is not calling the screen for a roll/pop play or hoping the defender goes under the screen instead of over.

It's definitely a glitch, because the defender can't swim around the player to get back into good defensive position.

theirs moving screens in pro-am wow and i thought it was just a park thing that needs to definitely get patched

I'm glad they don't call fouls on screens this year; especially in Pro-Am. It makes the game much more strategic, and team based compared to last year; where no one really even bothered setting screens due the high foul frequency.

Lol are you guys really saying moving screens are okay??????

People have HOF Brick Wall lol if your not a LDD you get bronze pick dodger.

It's not nitpicking that shouldn't be happening plain and simple.

This is actually a VALID issue that needs to be fixed.

Are you serious? If you got called for a foul last year, you blame the screener for setting it wrong, or you blame the ball handler for taking the screen before it was set. It's really that simple.

Zig zagging multiple times while your teammate is setting a moving screen is NOT basketball, and SHOULD be called.

No thanks. I don't want a repeat of 2k16 pro am where the referees are tuned to be robots whose sole purpose in life is to catch the slightest bit of movement and call a foul on screens. The way it is this year is perfect, and encourages team play since people can set screens on and off ball without the threat of the possession being ended by a phantom moving screen call.

I'm dead serious. Last year was way too much with the frequency of fouls called on screens. The devs made the game play the way it plays for a reason. They spent a year making this game, and I feel that they did a phenomenal job with the screens, and the no foul calls.

Hold the button and take your thumb off the LS. It's that easy. I rarely got called for moving screens last year.

I know how to set screens, believe me. The problem last year was it was rarely worth it to set screens because of how many moving screen fouls were called. The risk/reward just didn't make sense.
