NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

Two related questions:
(A) Is it possible to do a double screen back to back on one defender as seen in the video/gif below in case the defender was able to fight around the first screener? (Maybe not that close together, but the concept is what I'm wondering).
(B) Is it possible to have two separate teammates screen two separate defenders at the top (or inside) the three point line?

David Lee - 1st screener; Andrew Bogut - 2nd screener.

I'm asking because I remember Curry running past screeners from one side of the 3 point line to the other side of the 3 point line to get (probably) a 3 point shot off in the final seconds of the game. Can't remember the exact game, thus couldn't find footage. I just so happen to stumble on this one. It could have even been three screens back to back to back on multiple defenders along the three point line.

My biggest question: Czar - I've seen you posting all day here on OS, on a Sunday, of a holiday weekend, answering questions, clarifying, explaining, etc. So my question is: will you guys get a day off, or at least a long lunch break, when the game goes gold?


Seriously man, you guys are seriously kicking some arse, keep it up.

I've seen this with certain plays with certain teams in 2K15.

Okay cool, so it has to be a play. I was wondering more along the lines if it's possible without calling a specific play. Such as running freelance, then call for a simple screen, and follow that up with call a second screener.

If Da_Czar wants to further elaborate it with regards to NBA2k16, that would be great.

I think I saw a video on YT where you call for a double screen but I'm not positive.

How much of a part do tendecies play in the pick and roll vs the computer just reacting to the defense? Are there specific pick and roll tendencies?

Also can you tell us what tendencies affect how a players runs the pick and roll, or if it's all just the ai

Right... I can see that if it's a particular mechanic. I was really wondering if its something that can be reliably done with guys who do it if timing is right (ie: Westbrook, CP3, Wade, etc). My thought process was more that as you time it correctly to manually split through a tight space, whether it hedging/switching defender or a double team, if there is an dribble or animation(which can be interrupted) that compliments the manual action... not one that makes the action possible (ie: a push ahead dribble when you are splitting a P&R or double team and trying to burst through the space quickly).

But as you guys stated on the podcast that there is a quick first step element on offense, maybe that works perfectly fine.
