NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

[mvp kobe]

Next NBA 2K12 Developer Insight: "Training Camp" by Jerson Sapida - TBD or damn is this for my player if so will the dc still be in the game

[RedSceptile]

Shout outs to Da_Czar for helping 2K12 be even better than I previously envisioned.

PlayCalling options look great simply put, and a tad easier than last years as well as not allowing for perfect defense with the branching system.

Nice, now that's what I call an Insight.

Or it might be game controls?

[The Senator]

Quite impressive.

"NBA 2K12 also offers brand new quick strategy options to the user. These options, both on offense and on defense, allow the user to quickly adjust their style of play based on their preference and/or game situation"

These will be very useful, especially the defensive options, which if as effective as advertized, will really give you some tools to shut down offenses.

"This allows a team’s playbook to be created dynamically which means that no manual intervention is needed when a player is moved into or out of the starting lineup and/or is traded. As in the real NBA, if a player is traded, he will keep his play type assignment and simply inherit all the plays of that type in his new team’s playbook."

Anything that builds individuality for players AND teams is welcome, provided it fits naturally within the game.

Yes!!! You can finally pick the inbounder, it would also be cool if you can choose the player for tip-off also. So, you dont have like chuck hayes trying to get the ball.

Man this has me soo hyped up. I loved the playcalling in 2K11 but there is NO denying that it had its flaws. If this runs as smoothly as it sounds, I'm going to be unstoppable.
