NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

Agreed that 5-4,4-3 and 2-1 will be an advantage, as it should be. I'm hoping that when using a good rebounding team ex. Lakers vs. a poor rebounding team ex. Warriors, the Lakers theoretically should be killing the Warriors on the offensive glass. The Warriors should have an advantage in fast break points. IF the Lakers are not dominating the offensive glass, that's where I can foresee a problem if LA can't consistently out rebound the Warriors on the glass when someone with a poor rebounding team utilizes the "Leak Out" option.

They do even down to if you have a great rebounder on your squad he has some advantages if he is able to get his hands on the ball. So strategically if you have better rebounders you can gamble with going 2 on 3 on the boards and still get more than your share of boards if the matchups permit.

If your the type that pays attention to that stuff it starts to add up. Listen 2k12 had some people who normally play 5 -7 minute quarters bumping it up to 9-12 because the pace of the game and the flow was so good.

It's not perfect but I had so much fun while playing you just want to continue to play. And there are SOOOOooooo many matchups and playstyles.

And that is the point I'm trying to make. If a slow tempo style can compete with a fast break oriented team (Finals match up: Mavs vs. Heat) then everything is fine in my book. In 2k11, though the fast break wasn't as good as it should have been, a fast paced game was typically how the game was played, even with the slowest of teams.

If you can methodically break down your opponents possession after possession, match up after match up...then this is THE chess game I'm looking to play.

Also, elaborate on going from 5-7 min quarters to 9-12. Are you implying something there?

You got me hyped up now Czar, to bad Larry Brown and Rick Adleman currently aren't coaching. Would love to see a video game run a Larry Brown system perfectly, a ridiculously slow paced game and defensive oriented game. At least we have the '02 Kings, Adleman's team are always fun to watch offensively with their ball movement.

Basically this is how I feel. There will be so many more plays to use for one person this year. You can scroll through all those play types. I understand though for those that want to pick and choose each play say from multiple playbooks.

Well like 2k admitted in the Insight, there were MANY plays that were just flat-out ineffecttive, so I imagine if they truely fixed this issue and every play has the potential to work, then we wouldn't need to mess around with the playbooks as much.

So bitter my son scratched up my 2K11 disc right now and it doesn't work! Damn, I love this series! Only sports title I play from midnight release to the day before the next installment releases.

No I'm not implying. Just saying peiple are choosing to play this game for longer quarters than normal due to the pace and flow of the games.

Just my personally opinion, I always felt ranked games should be 6-7 mins. Never thought 5 mins (20 min game) could determine who was better consistently. Thought you might have been implying a potential ranked minute change. Thanks for the insight.

@Da Czar

Like last year, I just want to ask, how are the Triangle Offense plays in 2K12? I know the Lakers might dramatically not use it anymore in real life and the Wolves won't as well since they fired Rambis.

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

This leaking is pretty much PHX Suns run style ball

While it can win you games, teams that love to slow it down and rebound with bigger players, you can really get beat up on the inside playing that style and run the risk of not really playing any defense as a result also.

That little mini cherry pick style of basketball is ineffective especially in the post season when every posession matters the most.

There are definitely plus and minus' to this

Very excited about the new play call system. Cant wait for this game to come out

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

So much more options now!!! I never called many plays, but that will probably change now. Especially love the defense on the fly stuff.

The more I hear the more I . Rebounding is definitely improved then, when the ratings makes a difference on how many people need to crash the boards then we have some serious gameplay matches. Czar can we tell the difference in rebounders especially offensive rebounders like Noah?

I agree, ranked matches should be 6 mins quarters. Should give us half of the regular 12 min quarters they play in real life imo
