NBA 2K11 Gameplay Video: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Portland Trail Blazers

I see what oO is talking about. You can see that there a few plays where he has the ball in other players hands other than Conley. But the ball has to come back in to Conely hands to start the play.

It was a great system of calling plays, the ai teammates executed succinctly and it looked realistic. Right now it looks like you can only call basic quick plays with any play anywhere on the court. I hope that's not the case. I'm sure they are improved, but I'm still not feeling the play calling system based on what I've seen. It's too rigid and not dynamic and free flowing enough.

Na I dont see the issue

When OJ or Rudy bring the ball up the court its usually a pick and roll or isolation that follows... Conley just initiates the offense hes not a big part of it tho. He gets them in position to do there 1-2... Its just what goes on IRL. I mean how else are you goin to give Rudy Gay the ball in block? Or how else would OJ Mayo come around screens... would you rely on Rudy Gay to hit a cutter (since they are talkin about the improved passing). I wouldnt I just saw him play in Fiba and his ball handling is terrible..

I get your gripe but you gotta understand that everybody is not Lebron, everybody is not Iggy or Tayshaun or so many other point forward hybrids in the league. Turk can play multiple positions too but when he was with the magic didnt Jameer bring the ball up the court?

maybe the user is calling plays that start with Conely.

To my knowledge the Blazers are cpu controlled and that doesn't answer my question.

Can you initiate plays with players other than the PG?

Are there plays in most every team's playbook which are initiated by someone other than the PG?

This run to a circle with your PG stuff doesn't make sense to me. That is not how the Grizz run their offense. This game is so well done anything that doesn't look or feel right sticks out like a sore thumb and the playcalling right now is irking me, hopefully I'm wrong.

That might be the case.

One pass thats bothering me. Was when LA gets double teammed. Oden (does what he suppose to) and fills the lane (cuts right to the basket). LA (does what he is suppose to) and makes the pass right on time. But the ball goes right through his hands even though Oden is wide open.

That bus entrance is going to get old real quick... especially with every player Ive seen wearing the same suit!

I get what you're sayin

and yeah it is... like in the Jazz system they had the 25 (cant remember the name)

thats shooting guard and center... but it still has to be orchestrated by the pg... thats the pgs job... BUT, Im pretty sure the blazers have sets where Miller starts the play other than Roy... they have to... or that would hurt the realism for me too

so yeah I dig ya lol
