Yes sir. The freelance options have 3 settings.

Motion Which is what you see and is the default.

Where passes and pauses create action once you know the offenses you can mix in manual pnr's in set's that you like.


Space the floor

Where your team just continues to space around you. If you want to do a lot of pen and pitch stuff I would choose this because they won't run any uninitiated action that might get in your way.

Best when you want to use manual pnr's and isolations. Although you can mix those in with the motion there may be too much motion for someone who wants to create their own action.

Freelance
In freelance your team will run actions for you based on the freelance you selected. So this will have them manually attempt scoring options. You kind of need play art on if you make this selection because they could select an action that requires a pass.

The default for all game modes IIRC (don't get mad if this isn't correct) is motion.

The default for the AI is freelance.

I don't thnk we have that covered. I wonder if you used matchups however and assigned everyone to who you wanted them to guard if that would be a short cut.

OG and I will add that to our 16 list. Because that makes sense. So if you have that enabled your ok if they give up a layup because they did exactly what you said or would you want it to function as don't switch unless you have to ?

Yep, that's exactly how I'd want it to work. Unless the defensive rotations become amazing in terms of intelligence. If they rotate properly, help the helper etc, then I have no issues. Id still like the option to have all guys stay home though.

Yes that option is in. I thought he was meaning general switching as well. Like back screens etc.

Apologizes if this has already been answered, but roughly how many teams got their specific system in the game?

And since I've not posted on the topic yet, thanks for your work on this Czar. This is incredible.

Yes what he is describing sounds like off ball screens no switching. Do we have control of off ball screens?

Basically for centers and PF's with no lateral quickness you would want no switching on off-ball screens. It may leave a few guys open by doing that but that is the reason you set it like that so your big with no agility isn't on an island.
