He's back!!! I was hoping he was going to put out another stragetry session. Don't play video games, play basketball!

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't even know about the directional pad left.....I've pressed the other three but not the left.....

Cmon Coach Nick you need to give this man a huge shoutout and send some of your subs over to him. This is how you break down playcalling.

No doubt in my mind. His motto really rings true, you come out knowing more about the game and how to implement real life strategy to the game. A lot of instructional videos focus on the money tactics of the game regardless of how it relates to real life.

Don't worry Goffs, we'll all give you a pass on that one since it was so much less useful last year. Definitely a different experiment this year.

A pity this is irrelevant in regards to how the CPU handles freelancing.

For the most part, the cpu is incompetent in running an offense.

Da_Czar is the best. This actually made me want to buy the game

Great vid, subscribed to his youtube channel just for the lessons.

# 11 PJBrownHeat @ 10/07/13 10:33 AM

that is what i asked last year to 2k, an offense like in the video to create for me what i don't call spacing but triangle offense!!!

a natural triangle offense every time you want!!

but why not show us a video with the classic bulls!!

i hope it is for the next video!!

but if it is the new feature of 2k14, it is positiv but it is so the minimum that 2k could give us!!!

where are the new classic team, or the come back of classic court in exhibition mode!!!! i would be more motivated to buy nba 2k14 with those kind of feature while spacing!!!

i would have prefere a video showing us new jumpshot new dunk for michael jordan!!

for 2k12 it was the new playbook, for 2k13 the dribble should be extraordinary, and this year it is the block and the spacing!!!!

it is good but it should be a basic thing, and why does every team can use triangle offense this year?

again another mystery of david stern!!!

# 12 BezO @ 10/07/13 10:41 AM

Need this. Can't wait for the freelance & motion segments. At times, I don't get much movement with them.

I didn't know motion, freelance & spacing simply modified 3-2 & 4-1. Good info!

Hopefully he digs into the quick plays as well.

Diggin' it as always Czar!

# 13 Optik @ 10/07/13 10:47 AM

LOL PJBrownHeat, I knew you would show up in this thread after seeing the 4 out, 1 in set. This looks like the beginning of the triangle offense as a base.

# 14 cb1115 @ 10/07/13 11:01 AM

Add me to the list of people who didn't know about the Offense Strategy option on the d-pad lol

Does someone have a video of this. I have been concentrating on trying to show what the users can do so I haven't looked too deeply at the AI but I have not found them to be incompetent.

When you say incompetent I can only believe you mean it is worse than last years game and I have not found that to be the case.

Don't recall where he says it's worse than last year's game.

Yeah not trying to put words in the veterans mouth just trying to understand how bad this actually is. LOL.

One thing at a time Czar, lets concentrate on the promised freelance and motion vids. haha, cause I still can't really see a difference. they seem to be the same movement. maybe its just bc I was testing it in scrimmage mode.

# 20 recklesscognition @ 10/07/13 06:12 PM

I always knew something was messed up with the pick and roll last year but never got around to slowing it down and figuring it out. Would have never know without this vid. Will be following for more.
