Also, rotations for the first half are usually the same as or at least very similar to the second half. When they're not it's usually because of some adjustment the coach is making (like a traditional center having to miss minutes because a small lineup is torching him), or due to foul trouble, etc. Looking at the ATL timeline, I'd say (with ' = minutes): Young: 1+2+3Q (play 4', sit 4', play 4'), 4Q (play 3', sit 3', play 6') Murray: 1Q (play 8', sit 4'), 2Q (sit 4', play 8'), 3+4Q (ditto 1+2Q) Capela: 1Q (play 6', sit 6'), 2Q (sit 6', play 6'), 3+4Q (ditto 1+2Q) ...just to give a few examples of some simplifications I'd use if I were playing as the Hawks in 2K. You could literally build an advanced rotation that automatically makes these substitutions, or you could just kinda learn them and execute them manually (which is what I'd recommend).

That’s super helpful, thank you.

I was defaulting to longer stretches.

I’m surprised to see what long stretches Okongwu is playing! I guess that’s young legs at work for you!

Again, much appreciated.

I just checked and it starts at the beginning of the 2020-21 season.

That's kinda wild, to be honest. LeBron Era stuff should last till like '15-16 at the latest.

Thank you!!!

I agree with the person who posted before me. 2020-21 seems wild late. But it is what it is.

Started in 1984, I'm in the 18-19 season. What's waiting two more?

I don't get what I'm doing wrong and how I can't do a simple Embiid signature fadeaway. Pulling down on both sticks at the same time I only get it like 30% of the time. Something so simple is really frustrating me lol

This video explains how to do it pretty consistently: https://youtu.be/e6SkWFsxoXQ?si=qAPL5gfFLflCERAa
