Chicago Bulls Playbook

[Weeks]

Does anyone know another Playbook that resembles the Bulls better? Or any edits to there Playbook now?

It just seems that the plays they run in real life don't correspond to the game. Like the PF and C double screen for the PG where they each screen one side and wedge the player defending the PG in-between.

Thank you.

I'm curious about this as well.

Try assigning plays that they would normally run in real life. For example, in my Bulls Association, I have a lot of plays designed to get Rose involved in high pick and rolls, plays that get Korver coming off of staggered double screens for open threes, or plays to get Deng iso'd in the post or at the elbow. Also, Boozer is a beast in the post, use him. Use his various post moves (turnarounds, drop-steps, fade aways) and if you start having success the CPU will double team him pretty quickly, leaving open jumpers for the rest of your players. The "money play" or go-to play for me is a high pick and roll with Rose and Boozer, their your two best offensive players so getting them involved as much as possible is never a bad idea.

Also, as important it is to run offensive plays, it's equally or more important to take advantage of mis-matches. This year's 2K is incredibly realistic meaning your going to have to play in the post and run iso's more than you think. Know the personnel you're playing against, you should try to take advantage of any weakness the CPU has. For example, I play Deng at the SG position quite a bit to exploit the post mis-match he has against almost every SG he faces. Likewise with Boozer, if he has a smaller, less physical PF guarding him, then he should be able to back that defender down pretty easily. Mis-Matches are HUGE. They're constantly being exploited in real NBA games and the same can be done in this years 2K.

The majority of my play is free ball. I like to set pick and rolls and then take advantage of mis-matches based on how they switch and recover. While I certainly run organized offensive play sets, I've had more success letting my play makers exploit weaknesses. You can always try penetrating with Rose and kicking to open shooters as well. You have a wide variety of offensive options with the Bulls. They can be very dangerous when you get the hang of them but it's ALWAYS a good idea to get Rose involved as much as possible. He's your best player, use him.

Hope this helps you guys out a little bit.
