Re: NBA 2k 14 Tutorial Ideas?
Just some thoughts after watching your video:
For a pick and roll it's important to make sure your teammates are well positioned. The AI helps a lot more in NBA 2K14, and by default the wing players stay in your way, which is kind of annoying. This explains why your pick and rolls didn't go that well.
2 ways to deal with this problem:
- Playcalling. You can call basic PnRs, and finally your wing players will have the sense to wait in the corner, and your "non screener big" will flash in the high post to help . Other good options include calling Horns, the one with the double screen (forgot the name).
The problem is that you can't use that on the spot, that the AI is often really slow to initiate it, also it waits for you to be in the exact right spot before they start, which is annoying.
- Use the free movement option (left button, then pick "3 out").
Make sure the ball handler is on the wing (otherwise you can drive to the corner, and the AI will move accordingly). Then move towards the middle, so that the screener is on your side. For example if you're on the left wing, you need to move on the right, so that the big guy starts the screen on the left where there's no one.
All in all it's a bit silly how hard it is to call the most basic play in basketball, but with some work it's effective.
I really like the new strategic options, or rather I like the idea or an option to control the movement of your team, without going into as much detail as the playcalling option. I really hope that's something they improve for the next version, because it has a lot of potential.
