NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #4 - Playcall System

[cavsfan2]

So much more options now!!! I never called many plays, but that will probably change now. Especially love the defense on the fly stuff.

If your the type that pays attention to that stuff it starts to add up. Listen 2k12 had some people who normally play 5 -7 minute quarters bumping it up to 9-12 because the pace of the game and the flow was so good. It's not perfect but I had so much fun while playing you just want to continue to play. And there are SOOOOooooo many matchups and playstyles.

The more I hear the more I . Rebounding is definitely improved then, when the ratings makes a difference on how many people need to crash the boards then we have some serious gameplay matches. Czar can we tell the difference in rebounders especially offensive rebounders like Noah?

I agree, ranked matches should be 6 mins quarters. Should give us half of the regular 12 min quarters they play in real life imo

Ranked matches should definitely be longer. People call me cheese because unless I'm down at the end and need to put in 3 point shooters, I don't sub at all during ranked matches. I just don't see the point in it. The games are so short and stamina isn't a factor. I would love to bring back the strategy of having to decide when to sit players and use different lineups for different situations. Especially with this in-depth playcalling system...

Wow, that's good stuff right there. Finally..

I agree! I would love to use the new playcalling system and sub my players myself but it seems pointless when playing only in 5 minutes...

Think 2004 Phoenix Suns. 7 seconds or less. Instead of crashing the defensive boards, players leak out to run a fast break offense.
