Re: NBA 2K19 Playbook Changes Are a Significant Test Case for Simulation Basketball

I didnt even realize 2k used the same playbook for all teams. Thats because 2k's AI is good at exploiting poor defense, mismatches, and going to the hot hand.

the downside for having team based playbooks is that casual users will have a harder time adapting defensive schemes.
having to devise a defensive scheme to stop a team is great for sim players and most likely not for casual or inexperienced 2k gamers

Im all for the implementation, because ift forces you to learn a teams schemes in order to runa fluid offense. and like you stated in the article, can go a log way in a legacy mode when signing free agents and drafting etc.

this will eventually will lead to alot of game improvements in gm/my league modes. the unique team playbooks will really open the strategy and innovation for the gm/legacy mode.

Ive already thought of ideas just by reading this article.
