How do you play offense?

[stlducks]

Do you call plays? Or just pass and move until your open. Also does anyone use inbound plays and how well do they work?

I call plays every time down the court. It's tough to get open looks in this game doing otherwise.

I run the inbounds plays that the CPU calls for me. I never call them myself.

i call plays about 1 out of 4 times about. Sometimes i just isomotion to drive and then kick it out to the open man or I let the AI run set up plays by itself. I also do some pick and rolls with it as well (i don't really consider that a play though).

I run plays half of the time, then the other half of the time, as I primarily use the Miami Heat, I attack and penetrate with Wade and LeBron before the defense is set and either get a layup at the basket, a trip to the foul line or an open player or two. If you don't play with players like Wade and LeBron though and just use a bad, mediocre, or good but not contending team I would probably run plays 9 out of 10 times, maybe getting a quick transition bucket once in a while, depending on what team you're using of course. Hope this helps.

I call a play every time down court and if the play breaks down I just call the NBA stable diet, pick and roll. Sometimes if the play breaks down but the ball ends up in a players hands that can create I will call isolation for him.

I hate freelancing.

Grab a board and get down the court as fast as I can and either get a lay-up/dunk,go to the line or hit someone trailing for a 3 or midrange shot. Off a made shot. Pick and Roll and have someone on the baseline cut to the basket

Sometimes it works, Sometimes it doesn't

Off misses I look for transition opportunities, if that's not there I look for any mismatches or call one of the quick plays.

Off makes and dead ball situations I call set plays. (Unless the team has terrible default playbook like the T'Wolves or something) then I just mainly rely on quick plays and ball movement.

I've tried to control my inbound plays but I guess i don't know how the passing works because i seem to just get five second calls. I just go with whatever the AI picks for me.

I have League Pass and I really like watching games on my DVR and finding and compiling authentic playbooks for teams. Problem is it just takes way too long. (I managed to get almost all of the sixers plays but it took nearly 3 hours.)

I play on Superstar and do not find this to be the case. Icon lead passing combined with pick and rolls/pops usually creates enough space either to score to swing the ball around the perimiter and with that lanes will free up open looks.

I rarely if ever call plays and my offense is just fine.
