Thanks. Found the following on youtube. Looks like it's definitely possible by calling a play, but assuming not in freelance mode.

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.

I have done the split double team before but it was a quick cross this person did it with a behind the back dribble move.



If they are going to do something like this and have it be user controlled they would have to have revamped live ball physics close to real life so it would be a real risk reward on performing the move. It is just a detailed mechanic that could probably get exploited very quick if it was user controlled.

• You would have a throw out in front button sort of like 2K12. Do you really want a dedicated button for splitting the double team
• You use a quick cross which is possible now
• Or use a behind the back move like shown here.

If I recall correctly that's a wheel play post up high in 2k15.

I have done this as well with the basic crossover but with no consistency. I think 1 way to do this in the future (after hearing they will put it in when its not cheese) and take this with a grain of salt as no one has played 16 yet, but having the ability to pull off this move against bad hedges by players with poor footwork, agility, defense with bigs and they don't hedge properly which creates that little bit of space for us to read like irl and split the defense.

Again, I don't know if they have good and bad hedges in the game but I will assume they probably all do the same hedge perfectly and fundamentally sound which would be unrealistic. So a J. Noah might hedge perfectly with no gap or space while a M. Bonner might be too slow and take a bad angle allowing enough space to split the defense. Again this would be realistic, a game of matchups and a chess strategy between coaches in play calling as well as it would not be cheese IMO. It could be countered by making sure right players are guarding who. I think this should be able to be used with a simple crossover and not necessarily do we need a put ball out or in front button although maybe tapping sprint and cross could give you a animation dribble low and in front of you like you do when splitting the defense. I do agree a live ball in this situation would be necessary though making it a high risk/reward situation.

Just a thought. Maybe tie a pnr defense hedging rating with footwork rating, agility and defensive rating to separate the good hedgers from the bad?

I personally would love to see post up practice return also.


I really enjoyed the two players rebound/returning the ball to the shooter on the freestyle practice in 2K15. Nice little touch IMO.

I really hope practice post returns as well. I was in there a few years back more than regular practice and yes I'm talkin bout practice.

I'd also like to see us be able to practice SLOB and BLOB plays as well as in the future I hope we can add let's say 7 seconds and game specific situations where we are taking ball OOB for late game practice situations like coaches do irl practices. Then with doing this maybe they add in game where we can then call a specific play during our timeouts and be preset when we take the court after our timeout. That go's back to also having the ability to practice and change our freelance offense during timeouts too.

Definitely co-signed.

Was there not a mode called situational in previous 2k's where we set the situation and play thru from? Maybe if that mode existed we could again pracite those situations in a lively environment but that would be only for a workaround what you suggested is much deeper and i believe more resource needed to get them in hopefully in the future series..
