I actually have never tried that if I have time I may try it. I believe it will switch back but it is just a guess.

We assign it to a coach so my assumption is that where ever that coach is assigned his freelance would follow him.

Definitely in the 3-2. the 4-1 honestly is our weakest set in freelance plays etc.

The AI can both just move the ball and look to score. In set's where we have excellent coverage like the 3-2 they can score from any player in any position. Or I should say attempt to score. You can still defend them well and the AI would take a bad shot.

So there are still possessions here or there where you put them in a situation where they take a more difficult shot than they should have because they took to long to switch from moving the ball to trying to score.

Very keen to hear about the other unique free lance offenses and who has them..... and then of course, the play calling itself......

Almost unbearably keen.....haha

This is great. Absolutely great. I've been waiting for this to happen for years now, but there's something I noticed though. At the 5:59 mark, Parsons switched to Duncan. Mismatch? Maybe not so much considering Parsons is 6'9", but after that down screen set by Duncan for Green, I figured that they would explore that mismatch, how little it might be, a little bit more. I mean, Duncan barely tried to seal Parsons and ask for a pass to the post.

At the 6:23 mark, this time Ellis switched over to Duncan. It would've been nice to see Duncan at least try to seal Ellis and ask for a post pass, but instead, he let the offense continue to run resulting in a Parker jumpshot.

Having this freelance offense is the game is great, don't get me wrong. But imo, if a mismatch like these happens, I like to see the AI exploit it rather than run what still looked like a little bit of a scripted set. I know these are not set plays but the AI should be more aware of mismatches that occur, because these do happen.

Other than that, hats off to you Czar and the team.

I am not certain I understand you. Do you mean chasing a guy off a screen ? We default you to help position when your not guarding the ball so to initiate a chase you do need to use turbo to follow a guy around screens if that is what your asking.

You can still deny by holding the right stick down.

That would be dope.
