Thanks and yes you have to be able to run plays in order to keep with the better teams regardless of who you have as a team. Too many times to I get into a freelance offense (usually run with the Suns, trying to keep the Nash era alive
) and get down big and then realize that I hadn't been running any sort of offense.
So many things on why.
First thing I can recommend would be to put shot feedback on for a few games to see if you are releasing too early/late.
After a few games with feedback on and some work (if needed) on getting the timing down with your players and you're still bricking open good releases, raise the shot success slider for that area (clo, mid, 3) a point.
Keep on working at it and you'll get it down, play at least 10 full games though and keep track of your shooting %s, look at the avg and make a determination from there.
Hope you enjoy the experience the set provides. If you put the game up on YT, embed it in here please, would love to see it and get others the opportunity to view gameplay from a different user.
