Playcalling: Manual or Auto?

What do you have your playcalling on? Manual or Auto.

Usually I'll start off the game with playcalling on manual. Play within the flow of the game, have my PG create shots for others and have players create their shot with isomotion, try to establish my post game. Then usually when my backup PG is in, I'll turn playcalling on auto, then switch back to manual when my first string PG is in.

You?

Re: Playcalling: Manual or Auto?

Always manual. But that doesn't mean that I call a play every time I have the ball. Sometimes I just increase the offensive speed coaching slider (in hope to ignite some movement among my players) and play a little freestyle ball. Somebody is setting a screen, I use it. Watch for pick and roll or pick and pop oppportunities or maybe iso a bit.
I mostly use set plays when I either want to make use of a particular player or mobody is moving by himself or if I think I need to control the flow of the offense a little more.

In my association? Yes because I want to distribute the ball to the right players just like in real life. If I dont put it on auto I usually take too much shots with the main player and the offense becomes unbalanced and predictable.

I always use auto play calling with the game-tempo all the way up. If I dont like the play I call another one, or just do a pick-and-roll. I dont like having to push extra buttons to call a play every time.

I use auto but if they call a play I don't like or want to do ISO or pick and roll then I call that.

Re: Playcalling: Manual or Auto?

I always have it on auto. I love running plays.

But I do override the computer if I see on Heat Check that somebody is hot, then I call specific plays for them or somebody's running cold then I call specific plays to make sure that person doesn't get a play run for him.

Re: Playcalling: Manual or Auto?

Auto, I like to see what the suggested play is by Avery Johnson and if I do not like it - as the PG, I will change up the play manually.

I am not a good defensive player so that remains Auto.

Re: Playcalling: Manual or Auto?

I call all the shots. No auto for me....ever. I would say I call plays 70% of the time, whether that is set plays or quick plays.
