What’s happening family. It’s your man Da_Czar… I have started my sentences with this phrase too many times to count here on OS. With this, my first official blog post as a developer, I am returning to the format that started it all.

I know many of you here have been waiting a long time for us to talk about gameplay. Well the time has finally come so I won’t waste time with any more introductions.

I mean, the guy passes and the receiver goes first and the balls goes out of bounds, you know, some bad timing. I know we had this on 2k15, but they seen random and not so organic. Thanks a lot for your effort and all the dev team. Talking form Brasil. Pre Order made today for PC.

Maybe ask Mike in the thread of his blog?

So if I understand things right, you'll be able to alter things like the Pelicans offense, which no one fully knows how it will operate, it will dynamically update through the season?

So with this set the CPU ai for user will apply and play exactly as it would as a non user CPU ai team? Meaning they will adjust to game and players? Double post automatically on a mismatch etc? I'm cool with it either way just looking for clarification on how the CPU ai will auto play for me.

why nobody from 2k want to talk about fouls. It´s an important part of basketball. I wait a long time for sim numbers of fouls(i hope at least with slider adjustment) . I talk to Da_Czar for this problem and he said its not a one year fix type of system. So what i expect is an improvement up to 2k15.

Again big ups to Da Czar and the Scott OG for the AI improvements in 2k16 and the strong efforts to get the most sim experience in a basketball video game.

Currently the ACE game-plans are assigned to teams and not coaches. I know that is not ideal but it's just one of those time and resources things. So how it works is that I give ACE a selection of the freelances that a particular team should run. And he will switch between them when appropriate as part of the game plan. As a user you can manually switch to any of them at any time and the switch unlike last year should happen pretty quickly. There are times when you have to make a pass or two first but most times It happens immediately.

I know the engineers have final say, but does your bolded comment above mean that maybe it could come in a patch this year?

By the way, if I were you, I wouldn't answer that question. If you say no, there will be man tears (maybe a couple of them mine!). If you say yes or maybe, then everyone will expect it and you box yourself in.

Heh. But what the hell. I'm asking it anyway!

# 206 J_Posse @ 09/06/15 02:29 PM

Czar, not sure if you answered already but has anyone asked about fastbreak AI? I found the CPU's ability to execute fastbreaks to be lacking last year.

They would constantly throw errant passes or pass to a trailer not in position to score/finish. They would also miss ample opportunities to throw lob passes on the break.

I took soon as in high probability it is in for next year, and no chance this year due how long it would take to rewrite code and the fact that they will be trying to update playbooks during the season

Asked and answered here.

I wish there were a way for mods to put these somewhere in the OP as links to added content.

I only wonder because on SimHangout Czar said at the 1:19 mark:

Quote:


	"On offense the stuff is tied to the team right now. We're talking to the engineer hopefully trying to get that changed. I wouldn't put any money on that."

So that could mean he was hoping to get it in the game before it ships or maybe for a patch, or it could mean next year. Can't quite tell.

Da_Czar why doesn't 2K publish a strategy guide for this deep game of basketball?

Haha yeah that was my question yeah could be either or. I agree they probably should just leave it open ended and surprise us.

So we are not in control of any of these new adjustments at all?

The other part of that is what about the guy who simmed 2 years in future by the time that coach was fired. Yea we have to put all the big brain boov's on that one.

As a 100% Myleague player, according to your response, for example, the LA Clippers will always play like the LA Clippers no matter the coach in regard to ACE? I know in previous games, the playbooks stay with the coach, I assuming that will still be the same this year.

and just to be clear are you saying that ACE is hard coded for each team? If I do 30 team control , can I change a teams ACE philosophy/scheme during my Myleague?

I believe the assist in on by default, you have the option to turn it off.

If you leave everything in auto what he was saying is ACE would drive certain things based off team or coach. If you change settings then your settings over-ride the auto.

I was asking him to see whether I can start off with auto pick and roll settings if I know the coach or team already defends the pick and roll a certain way.

The funny thing about this you will learn certain things about how certain teams defend that you don't agree with and some things you probably don't need to touch.

I would actually buy one because of all the new things they have added.

# 217 Bexthelegend @ 09/06/15 03:21 PM

Is it possible that Czar just gave away to us that the 02 Kings are one off the final 2 classic teams? That's the reason the Adelman Courner offense is in? Could very well be o.o

"As a user you can manually switch to any of them at any time and the switch unlike last year should happen pretty quickly." - Da Czar

Found this nugget....yay. Hopefully its the same with defense. Id rather the assist be off for defense because i want to out-coach or be out-coached.

From my understanding, you can change a team's defensive ACE strategy but not their offensive ACE. So the Clippers will always play like the Clippers offensively but can still change defensively.
