Even with "All Plays" turned on I do not get the icons over my player's heads. Weird.

IF you have play art on full there are no icons. My play art is on lite. With full you get on court markings like dotted lines for passing.

How do we know the time limit of passes etc... i think i remember the blog mentioning this

Do the icons just go away?

Re: Da_Czar's Freestyle Offense Show Q/A

Czar- Really looking forward to these as I did not understand freelance at all last year.

Here are a few questions..

1. Does changing offensive POE's have any effect on freelance offense? (For example, if I change my POE from "get shooters open" to "pick and roll", does that change my freelance at all?)
- To build on this question, what does the change in offensive POE effect? Does it primarily effect what "quick play" is called if you hit UP on the D-Pad?

2. When changing offensive strategy I have two options, Half court set and Action.
- If I am playing as the Warriors, the Half-Court set is "Default" and the Action is set to motion. I am assuming this means the Half Court set is default set to "Warriors" for Golden State, but what do the different "Actions" represent?
----I have the option for Motion, Free-Lance and Space the Floor.. Do changing these effect free lance options? I would like to know what specific effect the Action option represents.

3. Basic 2K Question- When do you recommend using button passing or icon passing? For freelance would you recommend using button and plays use icon? Just curious what your personal preference is.

4. Lastly, just a question regarding your personal preference, do you play this game on a broadcast or 2k (like) camera?

Thanks for any advice or guidance you can provide!!

Love that you guys added play art for freelance offense. I used to run plays every single time down the court if I wasn't in transition, not this year.

Question in regards to the AI opponent. How does the "Run Plays" slider affect the AI's use of their freelance?

I remember reading that specific offenses aren't tied to coaches. So my question is, if I switch over to the CPU and change their offense, will that offense stick throughout the game or will it default back?

Czar, is there any way you guys can move up the corner activation spot a bit so that it's not in the absolute bottom of the corner? I'm finding that my guy spotted up in the corner usually catches the ball a dribble or two away from the activation zone. And when I try to dribble down into the circle after catching a pass in the corner, it usually causes a turnover or an out of bounds. It would be sweet if the corner activation spot was placed right beneath the feet of where the corner guy usually spots up.

Loved the video. You plan on doing something similar with the triangle offense?

How do you set a hard pick on this game? In 2k15, I just hold the pick button. I need the screener to stay but he rolls away no matter what.

Re: Da_Czar's Freestyle Offense Show Q/A

Czar, thank you for your amazing work. I'd like to hear/see a quick explanation of using MOTION CUTS versus FREELANCE ACTIONS. Very basic but I think it would be helpful to have that info out there and maybe some guidelines on which to use.

I believe you said before motion cuts is to run the bare set, whereas freelance is the bare set with play calls interspersed by the CPU. First, do you feel there are more scoring options from one or the other? Does one or the other tend to have more constant, unbroken motion than the other? Secondly, how does this interact with the playbook you have selected? So if I'm running SWING freelance is it optimal to set the Spurs (or Warriors, Hawks, etc.) playbook?

Lastly, I really was hoping to see motion offense selection in either/both of the pre-game menu or the time-out menu. This doesn't seem to be in the game so please consider pitching this as an add-on. I don't know if it can be patched in but it would be very helpful especially considering how many offenses there are--tough and time-consuming with the new menus to get to your choice and switch between offenses in-game.

Re: Da_Czar's Freestyle Offense Show Q/A

Is there anywhere that we can see the initiation points for each freelance offense in the game?

Thus far, I've been using the Pacers, it seems to work just by standing at the top or on the wings. Those spots seem to be the trigger points.

Re: Da_Czar's Freestyle Offense Show Q/A

7 seconds or less is my favorite freelance to use so far. The activation zones with motion cuts turned on are:

Top of the key -- corner man comes off a screen from your big and cuts hard to the basket.

Wings -- ball screen comes from a perimeter player on the high side of the court.

Corner -- center uses a screen to cut across the lane and set up on the near side block.
