It would be nice to have that be a badge or linked to your ball handling rating. Players like Dwyane Wade should have the badge or a specific type of animation for splitting the double team. Where as LeBron should be able to on rare occasions split double teams but more so in a way where he throws the ball in front of him through the double team almost out of control. LeBron never splits double teams the same under control way that Wade can. It's always a little sloppy and he usually doesn't keep his dribble after splitting the trap. Usually he just picks it up gathers and finishes.

You can turn it of and control how your team plays on yourself. Remember we build this to run the AI. We give you access to it through the coach AI adjustments.

If I do 30 team control , can I change a teams ACE philosophy/scheme during my Myleague?

Ok. lets try to clear this up.
Playbooks are still tied to the coach. The ACE gameplan is tied to the team.

Each team does have default gameplan's that cover situations where the team is completely different. Obviously those are more general than the specific stuff we can setup for known lineups etc.

I'm thinking it has more to with "in game "in regard to freelance strategy. I just don't want to be 8 years into Myleague and the clippers have two back to the basket bigs that don't like to run and run, but the "team" still plays to that style as opposed to slowing it down lol... But as I said 2K is heading in the right direction!

You can not manually assign freelance or ACE inside of Myleague. We would have needed to redo a lot of front end and that just was not an option. Realize it is not ideal but that was a far as we could take it.

I mentioned earlier that each Teams ACE does have default gameplans that can adjust for different lineups based on types of players. It is not as specific as the known gameplans but it should still be effective.

IF there is not a known lineup on the floor then yes it can detect certain lineup types and run with default gameplans to cater the offense towards those players.

It will run plays for the top 3 touches on the floor. Or if it detects a jump shooting lineup run motion or freelance offense. So it's not as intelligent as a real person but we tried to cover as much general lineup types are we are likely to see.

Obviously your feedback will be paramount in determining how much we need to add in future as far as coverage.

Czar does the attack module work with the CPU post up player? Will let's say Zach Randolph do a plethora of post moves against you?

[Vni]

How does the AI decide to switch from freelance offense to plays ? Is it based on IRL team's tendencies ? Is there a logic behind it ? Are every teams different on that aspect ?

S/o czar for that 1-4 free lance addition.
