Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

Has nothing to do with gameplay really but its time to get the sega genesis sounds away from all of this NEW innovation.

If everything matches what is explained in this blog you have basketball gaming on another level than we've known before

Absolutely. Off chance, in your guys opinion do you think there's a chance this is old build stuff and they're going to show us new sounds in presentation blog?

Long shot I know, but curious what you guys think.

Back on topic, those Knicks Triangle vids are NICE. Beautiful action/movement to get a dunk and a nice straight away 3 for Afflalo. The shooting action looked much quicker there also.

But the movement in general just looked tighter and more fluid. Some of Mike Wang's words in effect. But it really is a subtle addition to edging the look more towards real life and further from that video game look.

....Just gotta get the sounds caught up..... haha.

But wow. Czar's blog was a lock to be great.

Sound wise no. I think they do need to seriously consider it for 17 though. It's beyond behind of what the rest of the game has been doing far and away.

Looks like Czar cleaned up the Triangle he started last year and the spacing it creates is much more prevalent and noticeable immediately.

The triangle had some dope plays off of bounce passes, so I want to see some of those.. Pass cut back then forward, catch the backwards bounce pass for a layup or dunk... saw the Bulls run that so many times man wooo

I really hope triangle offense are good!!
In the video of the triangle there is the same triangle that i could make in nba 2k15 or 2k13 (mamba iso), the only one which is new is the second action of the first video with a 3 point shot. And normally it is not finished by a 3 pt shot but a mid range jump shot and there is not the first block but just the second.
This triangle was in 2k12 for a big man it was lal tri base i think so it was the real triangle. But jordan could have this open jumpshot in reality, not in 2k12 it was just for center or PF.

Czar, I have a question about the Clippers pick and roll when you get some time

CP3, Blake pick n roll, and as Blake rolls and recieves the pass Jordan cuts baseline for the lob from Blake instead of CP.

It basically neutralized the help D coming over to stop Blake on the roll

Basically is the CP3 pass to blake pass to Jordan for the dunk in the game?

Similar to this set up below. I don't know the name of the play but I've seen them do it alot. Blake messed this one up a bit but anyway

For 86 bulls i'm not really happy to see this team first of all and second the triangle are not like the 96 triangle.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

That skip pass from Afflalo to Melo was EXCELLENT. The zip on it was just right and the passes around the perimeter had nice speed to them. I'm personally hoping for some new around the horn passing animations though to give it a more authentic feel since most players don't throw 2 hand chest passes in that close of an area.

Also, the Prineceton sets(particularly the Chin vid) looked freaking awesome. That Kobe fake to get open was nice to see too. Looks like Alec Burks skipped a scan again unfortunately though.

Edit: Hey 23, they really need to lower their rim to about 8'0" and get some dunkers to create some sig dunks for DeAndre. Dude dunks like he's on a nerf hoop and it's so unique to him as a 7 footer, I'd love to have that.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog with Da_Czar

Due to the length of the blog I ended up cutting a lot of stuff. Some like what freelances are including should probably be posted somewhere for people to see so...

- 3 Out 2 In- We completely rewrote our 3 out 2 in freelance to increase spacing and emphasize the high post.

- 3 Out 2 In Fist- A new 3 out 2 in freelance that emphasizes the pick and roll on every pass.

- 3 Out Extended- This is an extended 3 out offense to deal with guys who like to put tight pressure everywhere. This offense has extended scoring options that stretch the defense and should allow you the space to punish pressure.

- Triangle- We pressed delete on last years triangle and rebuilt it from scratch. We were able to include much more triangle philosophy including proper pressure releases and the lag principal.

- Swing- The swing was also completely revamped and is more authentic than ever before. We even added an extended set that allows you to access their horns options without any swing entry needed.

- 4 Out- Our 4 out was also rebuilt from scratch. We were able to increase the spacing to allow you more room to create.

- Pace and Space- NBA 2K is the only series that gives you a chance to run this unique offense designed by my college teammate Erik Spoelstra.

- Eighty- This is a basic freelance with spacing and simple screen actions appropriate for teams that played in the 80’s

- 2-3 Zone- A freelance designed to help you bust up the 2-3 zone defense.

- 3-2 Zone- A freelance designed to chew up 3-2 zone cheese.

- Flex- Run the flex as your base offense without calling a single play.

- Corner- We installed a version of Adelman’s corner offense. Excellent choice if you have great passing big men, or bigs who score well from the high post. Assigned to the Bucks

- Flow- We also have the Terry Stotts version of the Flow offense. Assigned to the Portland Trailblazers.

- Princeton Low- We added the NBA Version of the famed Princeton offense. More than a backdoor we include the entire Princeton low offense as taught by coach Carril.

Princeton Chin- We even added the Chin version of this offense with all 5 players above the free-throw line.
- Hawks- While we could have just given them the Spurs swing offense, we went deeper by including options in this swing variant they run in their system.

- Warriors- The world champs also received their own swing offense variant with some of the options specific to their championship run. Including splits on most of their post entry passes.

- Mavericks- I am really excited about bringing you the Mavericks flow offense. This is another of those lightly documented offenses similar to Pace and Space. Lots of scout work went into bringing this to life.

- Houston- This freelance was born out of sheer creativity while scouting the Rockets in the playoffs. If you recall, without their starting point guard the ball was constantly in James Harden’s hands.

This freelance replicates that and forces users to guard Harden 1 on 1 no matter where he receives the ball. You have isolation or pick and roll options in any location. If for any reason Harden does not have the ball, simply stand still for a count of two and he will pop out to receive it.

“1-4”- Our 1-4 freelance most resembles Jerry Sloan’s offense with the Utah Jazz. While not an exact replica we definitely carry some of the options the classic Jazz are famous for.

SSOL- In truth, unless you sprint and always use the first option, it’s more like nine seconds or less but you get the picture. It’s in and although there aren’t a ton of options.(Compared to Swing/ Triangle) It is very difficult to guard against with the right personnel.

Motion offenses

3 Out 2 in Motion- This offers constant motion to get shooters open. If you like to dribble and create, just use the default 3 Out 2 In.

3 Out 2 in Extended Motion- Similar to the 3 Out 2 In Extended, this is a motion set that is effective against ‘pressure everywhere’ defense. Motion actions extend far outside the 3 pt line to stretch pressure defense.

4 Out Motion- Similar to the 3 Out 2 In Motion, this offers constant motion once initiated. Best to use if you have a stretch 4 on the floor.

Celtics Motion- Celtics fans will definitely be familiar with these actions. This is a chin offense variant that the C’s used last season.

Heat Motion- The Heat abandoned the Pace and Space in favor of a custom variation of the swing offense. We faithfully recreate a lot of the Heat’s looks from last season inside of this motion set. This is definitely one that blurs the line between motion and freelance.

Jazz Motion- Quinn Synder also has the Jazz running a variation of the swing. As you get into these offenses it will become clear that they are all different with actions unique to what each team ran last year.

Rockets Motion- The Rockets version of the swing features a lot of handoffs and quick scoring actions.

Sixers Motion- Similar to the Celtics chin variant but with different actions. This one is much closer to a traditional motion offense.

again not everything we did could fit in a blog but unlike last year I will be doing plenty of videos after release of the game to help guys understand what all they have available on the offensive side of the ball. With all that OG has done your probably going to need it.

#SimNation

PS we also allow you to adjust some of the defensive settings in practice play mode.

I'm late to the party, but the work that has been put in this year seriously threatens my career life. This game is gonna turn me into a 400 pound scruffy dude in underwear and a robe. It's so deep that the replay value seems endless. Appreciate all the hard work, u guys need a vacation

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

2K16, once it enters my PS4, it's not coming out for a long time. Incredible improvements made from 2K15, which is a game I still play and enjoy.

Great work, Czar and the entire 2K team.

Great work Czar. I can't wait to see how the Maverick offense run. Thanks for the addition.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

Can we use practice play mode for our freelance? Be nice to cut the time spent on defense out of scrimmages if we go in there to strictly look at offense
