'My player' play-calling/running plays

[dynamicflashy]

I have been wondering, in the My player mode will the CPU design plays that my player must learn and run with my fellow teammates?
I play as SG so I'm wondering if I will have to call the plays myself, or will a virtual coach or point guard chose which play I should run.

Do you guys think it will be possible to call and run a play if your player is a point guard?

I really want to know the answers to these.

You call the "quick plays" as a 1 in the demo...

The Quick Iso, Post Up, Screen and _____


Seems if your not the PG, there is no playcalling

How about running plays? Doesn't it make sense that the CPU calls the plays for my SG to run?

I'm sure the CPU calls plays, but if you're not the PG, you're pretty much oblivious..

It's not hard to tell where to go on the floor to maintain proper spacing, but there's no diagram or anything to show what plays are being run.. You just gotta go with the flow

But that's not very good.

I'm surprised nobody had mentioned this before. It seems like a huge flaw to me. Something as big as running plays is a vital part of the game of basketball.

All you can is call for the ball, but dont do that too much or they'll dock your grade.

I do agree though its pretty messed up that you can't call plays when you have to be involved in them to progress especially

At least tell me the play thats being run, and or a diagram where I should be/do on the floor. Like it is in 2k9 with player lock on.

Exactly! I'm pretty disappointed.

Re: 'My player' play-calling/running plays

realistically, how would it make sense to run plays at the combine? The players change every game.

As an SG, SF or PF, the playcalling should be conditional. You start off with playcalling as a PG, but you should be able to earn the right to call plays as a McGrady/Kobe type player, or a point forward. For standard players at the 2-5 positions, it makes sense that you wouldn't call plays. You gotta trust your PG and your coaches. As long as the AI reflects the intelligence of the respective players and teams, I think they made the right choice.

I would think when the game comes out and you start your My Player career, you can have the auto play calling on and it should show you the diagram of where to go. If not, 2K has terribly disappointed me and I just might not pass them over any money this year.

Thank you! that's exactly what I'm talking about.
I just hope it will be in the complete game.

I really hope you are right my friend...which would make sense. NBA team runs plays, where as pick up games with bunch of scrubs don't.

Re: 'My player' play-calling/running plays

Even if they don't have the play diagrams in the game this year, I'm sure they're working on it. I mean, they are the ones that pioneered the play diagrams in game. Like the Madden producers said on this forum, sometimes it takes a few iterations for them to finish and polish a feature, the coding for it is in the game however you don't see it until it's complete.
