Great ishh as usual, Czar. Sage doing his thing as well.

Hey Czar,

It looked like there are more/better animations for defenders fighting through screens to keep up with shooters. Can you confirm/deny this for me?

Yea, I saw it in the play calling menue at the end of the vid, plus I saw that play being ran at the beginning of the vid. or was it the end? either way its in the vid.

I didn't go wild on that one. The options are just what you saw. Either the Lob the chandler Dirk's fade. The drive off the screen and the penetrate and pitch.

I did add the double to it where if that doesn't work you can go back the opposite way for another double screen. You could spend forever getting all the intricate parts in but you run out of time.

I think you can already see that the depths of these playbooks are second to none. They can always go deeper. But I wanted to get the basics of the branching in. If you go to deep then you have 5-10 incredibly deep plays for the teams but you lack variety.

So I tried to strike a chord somewhere in the middle. Insatiable hoop fiends !!!

This is beautiful! Thanks Czar and Sage! Awesome work as always =]

These plays just made my mouth water with all the possibilities on offense!

I don't know if they are newer or just work better but it was one of the things I requested because the offense had too big of an advantage coming off those screens. Mr Lee the AI engineer Jerz also worked on improving the defensive movement to that you could face the offense as your trying to follow him around the screens.

So it should be noticeably better.

I definitely had you guys in mind in the play designs so there are lots of little things dispersed here and there to reward guys who really get to know their teams playbooks. Big up to Rob and crew because they didn't have to include all that stuff man.

After I get my copy of the game I can really show you what they can do. Its difficult to capture in advance you never really know what you will need after your gone. You guys should have some amazing head to head battles...

You can also tell to your defender to go above or behind a screen right? Think i saw that setting somewhere.
