One question I have, is whether your AI Teammates are going to react to whats happening to people.

Like if a pick and roll is trapped, am I going to see the free guy diving to the hoop?

Or if Im going all out to deny a dangerous wing player the ball, is the CPU going to run sets to free him up.

I haven't been trapped in a screen roll often enough to say.

As for denying the cpu player its dangerous with the spacing I tried to do that with Jordan and the bulls were winning 13-0 got beat back door a few times but its just difficult to deny a guy like that. You will have to test it for yourself to really know I guess but it was not as effective for me.

Again thank you and look forward to more strategy sessions. As for the game....WOW!!!!! The more I see on this game the more and more impressed I become.

I think I remember you from somewhere(this sounds weird), fight night forums?

Question : If i change the controller towards the CPU and adjust their preferred matchups, do they stick with it when i change it back to my team ??? Definitely worked with coach philosophy last year, didn�t try matchups.

It was always puzzleing to call a time out and not be able to have my team focus on defence because either i was out of uses or my last point of focus had not run out yet.

Any thoughts on this Czar?

Sorry I missed this one TeeDogg. I don't believe the execution for this has changed this year.

I don't think so. I had to put the other team in coach mode to test it out and have them keep those settings. But maybe I missed something.

As far as the Off Ball Defensive settings (glad they changed this by the way), what is the difference gameplay-wise between guarding someone tight off-ball and denying them the ball?

as far as spacing tight and deny will both have them stay at the same approximate distance when playing off ball.

Deny however will force him to not leave him even if your about to give up a layup. and He will depending on his ratings deny him the ball with the actual deny animation which can get you beat back door if your not careful.

Tight they will still help albeit probably more late than early.

Love how Czar breaks this down, there seems to be alot more strategy involved in NBA2K11 this year. This thread deserves a stick post.
