Yep but these are strategies and not plays. We didnt have them in 2k11.

Also there is an offense strategy for crashing boards, so I guess the leak out is the counter to it.

I like the concept of coaching WHILE playing. I'm just hope that if someone is killing me on the break that I don't have to *Pause the game,* make the necessary adjustments, *Unpause the game.* I would like to keep the natural flow of the game. That's why I didn't understand how "Leak Out" was an offensive adjustment rather than defensive being that I don't see a counter to it via the defensive menu screen.

Other than that, playcalling sounds awesome. However, I wished you could choose quick plays where u decide which players post up.

in the insight it spoke of an option to key in on key players
as well as defending the paint (going under screens) and much more

cheesing is dead now, at this point its on u to execute

.....or so they say but Im excited, my fiance' has to go thru that week or 2 of neglect she went thru last year... lmao

I don't think you understand what I mean. If there IS a strategy to crash the offensive boards, that means you're telling your players to crash the boards while your teammate is shooting.

Leaking out is telling your players (guards primarily) to not box out and start to leak out TO start offense (being that you're already playing defense). It would make more sense for that to be on the defensive menu.

I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense to tell an offensive player to "Leak Out" if you already have the ball...where is he supposed to "leak out" to?

Ability to save these plays for online use will be the icing to this yummy cake!
