So we are not in control of any of these new adjustments at all?

I believe the assist in on by default, you have the option to turn it off.

If you leave everything in auto what he was saying is ACE would drive certain things based off team or coach. If you change settings then your settings over-ride the auto.

I was asking him to see whether I can start off with auto pick and roll settings if I know the coach or team already defends the pick and roll a certain way.

The funny thing about this you will learn certain things about how certain teams defend that you don't agree with and some things you probably don't need to touch.

Da_Czar why doesn't 2K publish a strategy guide for this deep game of basketball?

I would actually buy one because of all the new things they have added.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

Is it possible that Czar just gave away to us that the 02 Kings are one off the final 2 classic teams? That's the reason the Adelman Courner offense is in? Could very well be o.o

"As a user you can manually switch to any of them at any time and the switch unlike last year should happen pretty quickly." - Da Czar

Found this nugget....yay. Hopefully its the same with defense. Id rather the assist be off for defense because i want to out-coach or be out-coached.

As a 100% Myleague player, according to your response, for example, the LA Clippers will always play like the LA Clippers no matter the coach in regard to ACE? I know in previous games, the playbooks stay with the coach, I assuming that will still be the same this year.

and just to be clear are you saying that ACE is hard coded for each team? If I do 30 team control , can I change a teams ACE philosophy/scheme during my Myleague?

From my understanding, you can change a team's defensive ACE strategy but not their offensive ACE. So the Clippers will always play like the Clippers offensively but can still change defensively.

What they said was defensive ACE is tied to the actual coach.
Offensive freelance offense was tied to team. I am thinking this includes playbooks as well.

The only way I say you want to change certain aspects of how ACE is handled would be to completely re-do rosters and teams from sctratch starting with the offensive freelance you want on the current team. However if you are personally controlling the one team you can change the freelance how you want and change the defense how you like.

Cool I can live with that. I'm pretty sure once we get the game and start messing with it. We can see what adjustments we can and cannot make to make myleague even more Sim

Yea which is a great start, hopefully by next year signing a coach will go beyond just their ratings and deeper into their philosophies. You can see where they are going with this, MyLeague and MyGM is really going to be its own world going further, as they build layer on layer.

Interesting. I wonder, from a myleague perspective, will there be tab/slider that allows you to adjust each team's offensive freelance. Not during the game, but as a coaching plan/strategy. I'm thinking it has more to with "in game "in regard to freelance strategy.

I just don't want to be 8 years into Myleague and the clippers have two back to the basket bigs that don't like to run and run, but the "team" still plays to that style as opposed to slowing it down lol... But as I said 2K is heading in the right direction!

Yea it's tied to the team on the floor regardless of the coach.

That's why I created this thread

As a way to obtain freelances from classic teams as your default freelance for your new team

(Czar correct me if I'm wrong here) but i remember them saying the ACE can adjust to what type of personnel is on the floor. So if the strength of the lineup is shooting, the AI will look for shooters. Or if it's posting up, then the AI will look to feed the post.

This has the makings of the best sim game ever assembled; can't wait to get it!!!

If I understand correctly, what will happen on a possession by possession basis is the AI will run dynamic decision points to identify scorers and scoring opportunities in the way it runs plays or runs through freelance branches.

However, that will happen in the context of the Clippers' hard coded freelance settings. Czar has selected a main and maybe a couple of alternate freelance settings for the team and those will be the ones they run. So you won't see them, for example, looking at those bigs and thinking, "hey they're good passers!" and then running triangle.

Now, it's possible that in MyGM/MyLeague the teams may look for certain kinds of players via trade, free agency and draft who best fit their preferred systems. That's what Leftos says anyway. So maybe the team in future years won't find themselves with personnel that really badly fit their intended play style. At least, they'll be trying to acquire players who fit the current Clippers' mold and style. So maybe the problem won't be that big.

We just won't see a change of offensive philosophy for teams over time, which would be ideal with coaching and personnel changes.

If you assume control a team (say, 30 team control), you can make it run what you want on the court if you play as the team, of course. You can also set its playbooks and choose plays to run. But if you choose triangle plays for the clippers the AI won't maybe run them much when operating as the CPU, and the plays won't fit the default spacing and movement of the players if the play does get called. So it really won't quite fit.
