Czar's write up does say that the teams will have default play styles for when there are no known players on the team in franchise modes as years advance, relative to ACE and how it formulates its offensive strategies by possession according to lineups. Since he says "teams" there you may be right. But then that sounds different from what I thought I heard in the broadcast, and anyway, seems at odds with how they've invested in and created coach profiles in the first place, including for offense. After all, why have coach offensive styles and preferences if they don't dictate, as opposed to the teams? Czar did say defense is deeper with its AI systems than offense, so there is that. At the least, it's a good question and maybe could be clarified.

Re-listen. Someone asked and Czar said its only for defense right now

Yeah he said they are working on the offense being tied to the coach but doesn't think they'll get it in this year.

There's some already complaining how 2k16 will be defensively overpowering. and can't drive to the basketball are can't make any layups are dunks, crying allday. I say to you...LEARN SOME PLAYS, CALL FOR PICKS. MOVE THE BALL..THIS IS SIMULATION BASKETBALL, fundamental, strategy. adapt to the gameplay do not cry for a PATCH.

This is a men's basketball game again, the level of competition has begun.

I don't think it should tie to turbo. I say the opposite. Turbo gets abused and this is a precision action in RL. Turbo is more "reckless" per se. I agree with the rest.

Casual fans will always outnumber the die hards. It's just the way it is. Which means, unfortunately, he who shouts the loudest wins. Expect the twitchers, tweeters and youtubers of all kinds to be complaining loudly until it's all patched out.

Remember when shooting fatigue was a thing?

Yep, you're right. 1:19 in the stream.

So, I guess that means team offensive philosophies will not change in MyGM at the least over time. I wonder if they are editable in MyLeague. I would expect them to be, but we don't have confirmation.

That would be a let down. Hopefully they are editable. And now I wonder why Leftos talked about coach and staff preferences/profiles being editable. If it's tied to teams, why would coaches even have offensive styles and preferences?

I understand but I don't think 2k will make that mistake again. they finally found away to please their fans. the offense has many ways of still dominating over the defense, players just have to make the right choice..you know what i'm saying.
