It doesn't matter when you call it, the game knows how the strategy is implored (players releasing as the ball is in the air on D) and your players will do this until you reset them (i would think).

Impressive, 2k. Pretty damned impressive. Mostly happy at the improved inbounding plays.

This sounds good no doubt but is the spacing better than 2k11 b/c it was too crowded at times on 2k11 when trying to run plays. If the floor spacing is good running plays is gonna be a whole lot better b/c that's all i do.

What is the counter to it? "Leak Out" pretty much is not crashing the boards in an attempt to get fast break points. I hope I don't have to go into the coaching menu to assign NOT crashing the offensive glass to defend against it.

I like the "Leak Out" adjustment, don't get me wrong. Just want to make sure it's balanced someway.

Good catch. I didn't really realize that the first couple times I read it.

Amazing. Being able to select the inbounder is really key

It would make ore sense to tell defensive guy NOT to crash the boards and to "Leak Out" for the fast break...understand what I mean?

AH I get it now. It's actually very smart. Only one strategy may be employed at a time. So using leak out as an offensive one it still allows you to use a defensive strategy with it. Which means you will be able to lock the paint and still leak for a FB.

And if the FB fails you can then just change strategies on the offense. Makes sense. As long as you can change the offensive strategy while being on D. xD
