Great analysis. I've been disappointed with the underwhelming reported improvements to Association mode so far, but these pick and roll improvements alone make NBA 2K14 worth the purchase.

so glad all the unnecessary offball movement is gone.

2k13 is probably one of the worst 2ks of all time in terms of spacing. The amount of times players would cut and run right into the defense and get in your way was staggering . That is what lead to the zone and double cheese being so effective and overpowered. You could double and triple team people and no1 would be open.

Yep. I'll even bring the strong side defender in the corner if the strong side is overloaded. I can always drag the defender on the wing over to the corner and get a decent close out back to the wing as long as you anticipate. 1-4 pick and rolls are too easy to defend if their center can't stretch the floor at all.

Another great insight by Da Czar! I really wish he would be able to do more strategy videos for the 2K games. Always got me hyped to try new teams and plays.

How awesome it would be if the pick and roll worked like it's supposed to so that using it is a skill game and something you could become good at.

I should have clarified but I was speaking how I coach my kids in real life with the help side defense at the stop line in a similar set up like this. I like the guy farthest from the ball at the mid line and half way up the lane when the roll occurs.

I should say if I'm going red (trapping the PNR) I will sometimes bring the top defender on weak side to guard against the slip and weak side corner defender in between corner and wing player to close out on a pass or potentially get a steal.

In 2k on PNR I usually always switch to the hedger...

If you put awareness to 100, 2k13 is much better than it is in that video.
