NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

[jr2424]

The depth of this system while also being simple to use should really make more people call plays. I can't wait until Oct. 4.

I try to play a more sim style but in past years it was hard because the playbooks were limited and if you didn't call plays the offense became very stagnant and almost motionless. The quick play defensive strategy alone should force the offense to think more about what they are doing and react to what the defense is calling. 2k12 seems like it will make the user vs user games a lot more fun and add more strategy to basketball games than ever.

This! The developers try to eliminate it as much as they can, but cheesers will cheese. They will find a way. But as long as we continue to voice how they cheese, I feel the developers will continue to refine the game and make it more difficult. I think the hop step and spin move cheese will decrease because it's no longer mapped to a button. Hopefully that means no more spamming that move/

I think cheesers cheese because quite frankly, they don't understand the fundamentals of the sport. Continuously trying to penetrate with Lebron James even though the path to the lane isn't open is simply evidence that the user doesn't know of any other way to score. Given the fact that the user had success using that strategy to begin with was either the result of poor gameplay mechanics or his opponent not discovering a way to stop him. In my opinion, there wasn't a single move a cheeser could use in NBA 2K11 that couldn't be countered with good defense. Once I figured out the cheeser's tendencies, it was pretty easy to predict what he was going to do on offense and adjust my defense accordingly.

The only advantage cheesers have online is that rank games are relatively short. In a full 48 minute game, I doubt cheesers would win any game because they wouldn't have the patience to stick it out against skilled users.

About the spin n hop step move mapped to the right stick... It might b an alternate control setting like alternate a or b to have the hop step etc on da button.. Regardless tho i mean advanced users like myself can easily get used to doin da hop step etc on da right stick so it dont make a difference to me..


Also idk wat cheesers yall play.. But da cheesers i play against all of da time knows basketball n r very skilled.. Im not talkin about da rank cheeser
Bums.. So da advanced cheesers kno all da glitches/ cheese money plays.. I dont get y u guys act like they not good at wat they do lol...

I wouldn't say useless but I don't really like quick games and stuff. Playing team up with people you know and will play unselfishly is fun as hell.
