Either people that know how to run plays arent being helpful, OR nobody knows how to run plays. It would be nice if some one could share the how to.

Re: Play Calling?

What is needed is play diagrams so people can see how the play is supposed to run. Maybe this can be patched in. Worse case they could at least put the play diagrams online for us to see but will they?

This is the only beef I have with this game. I mean, its an amzing game and I love every aspect of it....but no play diagram I'm afraid is going to turn this game into a run and gun, arcadish game FOR ME. Sucks really bad. Only thing I can do in the half court is run the pick and roll.

Go to the spot marked on the floor... when there you see an A or X(ps3) on top of one of the players on court when the button lights up hit him with the pass...and so on and so forth.

heh - you'll know if you're turning it into an arcade game if you lose constantly. That won't work in NBA Live 10. You HAVE to play real basketball and take good shots. No forcing it in this game.

Re: Play Calling?

You can go into the coaching menus and it shows a diagram of the plays.
Start by just learning one or two and build from there.

Re: Play Calling?

On the coach's playbook menu how do you assign plays to controls?

Re: Play Calling?

If no one has a button that lights up over his head for you to pass to, a screen is generally coming. Wait for that and it will give you another spot on the floor to run to. It's usually a basic pick and roll after the screen is set.

Re: Play Calling?

How about when there is a dark gray/black circle? What does that mean?

Re: Play Calling?

Another tip is to call ur play before u cross half court as your walking it up. So once u get to your assigned position, the play will be setup and u can make the first pass immediately.

Re: Play Calling?

Wow I'm surprised people are actually having trouble w/ this it seemed pretty simple to me Lol. Anyways one you call the play look for a red dot and move to that spot. From here look for someone w/ an icon and pass it.

If there is no red dot then look for somebody with an A or X above their head and pass it to them. If you see a gray dot just move your player to that spot and wait for the screen.

If you have run a play and you see nothing on the court just wait in the spot because a screen is most likely coming or its an iso play.

Also give your players time to set up in there spots because sometimes some guys may not get to their spot as fast. This is what can cause some confusion because you know you ran a play but nothing has happened.
