Off ball screens/ screen play calls
I’ve been playing lately and kept wondering why I wasn’t enjoying playing the computer. It finally hit me that I really couldn’t get players open with off ball screens. Even the “screen” play calls don’t free up guys, so you have to resort to spamming pick and roll or iso ball. I really hope they can address this next year or if it’s able to be patched. The players don’t sprint coming off screens and stop when they catch instead of immediately catching and driving while the defender is behind. Also the screens rarely create separation, maybe a screen effectiveness slider can be added?

Re: Off ball screens/ screen play calls
It's another issue, plays stop working if you're not exact and precise. The plays don't branch. What helps is setting you coach options > motion > full.I’ve been playing lately and kept wondering why I wasn’t enjoying playing the computer.

Re: Off ball screens/ screen play calls
Plays are hit or miss, some plays seem to always get someone open on screens, like some of the horns screen plays vs the floppy plays which never seem to work because the shooter takes weird angles.
Here are some plays that seem to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cr6w6ARA-I&t=1sComment
