NBA 2K12 Play Calling System - My Mind is Blown

Finally...........a company has gone all out and made a play calling system to be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. NBA 2K12 deserves extra extra extra kudos for their play calling system. It is a techie dream come true.

Does wonders for the CPU AI. You can assign players a type of play or a specific play. I love that idea. Helps to really seperate elite stars from scrubs. So for example if you have a scrub, instead of him giving him the ability to run every play for that type for his position, you can just give him 1 or 2 specific plays out of that play type.

Brilliant idea because I for one alway was annoyed seeing average players getting plays called for them that they don't have the ability to pull off. What it does for CPU controlled teams is just plain AWESOME.

Before it is all said and done, I will edit every team on here playbook and make it more based on their talent instead of just general plays. Some teams playbooks will be very complicated, while others will be very simple but yet deadly.

The beauty of it all, the choice is ours. We have total control of how simple or complex we want the play calling to be for that team. So far I just started with the Bulls, being I was born in Chicago, grew up there as well, Bulls will always be my favorite team no matter where I live.

That being said out of the box my Bulls weren't playing like they should be playing. Rose wasn't attacking, too much of the scoring was going through Deng and Boozer with them jacking up long range jumpers. And overall they were jacking up way too many 3's.

Fixed the playbook up and now the Bulls are deadly. Rose is attacking, he is picking n rolling. Boozer is posting, Deng is cutting, Rose is cutting. Thing of beauty.

I'm not getting NBA 2k12 until Christmas time or before Christmas but i'm glad that you will be editing every team's playbooks so they could actually play like the teams. 2K always lacks that but w.e. Anyways hopefully this is for Xbox 360 for all this editing. Yes man keep up the good work. And liking the review so far

I have to disagree I dont like having to learn all these damm plays. The play calling was so much better in 2k12.
