Can't call any plays in the demo.

It's best to get the basketball to one of your perimeter players either on the wing or up top near the arc and be patient -- some player movement will develop (cutting, screening, call for basketball on the low block, etc.). The action usually happens on the weak (opposite) side of the court off the ball where someone will come off a screen for a catch-and-shoot jumper or make a sudden cut to the basket. Sometimes a big man will come over to set a screen for you to get a pick-and-roll or pick-and-pop sequence going. If the player has it on the elbow without putting the ball on the floor already, your teammates will treat it as an isolation play and try to clear out some space for you.

Okay great, I was going nuts trying to figure out what i was doing wrong. But just from seeing the cpu run plays this game is going to be amazing. They can confuse your players, bad switches, etc. Looks amazing.

Yeah, I was a big Madden Mania guy for awhile, but when OS swallowed them up for the most part I just kinda moved over here. I like it alot.

Real similar to 2k8, but is feels much more "tight" when played back to back with Live. Live is very "slippery".
