NBA 2k21 Real-Life Playbooks - Milwaukee Bucks

[manunitedfan]

Hello everyone, while I was looking at the 2k playbooks, I noticed quite a few were a bit outdated. The playbooks look like they haven't received much updates since NBA 2k20 and many don't resemble what teams are running now.

I have studied countless games of many teams and decided to change some of the playbooks in 2k21 to modernize them for the most realistic playbooks in 2k21 and to resemble exactly what they run in real-life. First we will be looking at the championship winner Milwaukee Bucks.

Many of you might recognize the Bucks to run a 5-out offense under coach Mike Buldenhozer. This is the offense currently in the default 2k playbook. While they ran this offense to great effect in previous seasons, this season they play a 4-out 1-in offense with a player at the dunker spot - this article explains this well - https://theathletic.com/2281277/2021...e-dunker-spot/

This offense has worked really well for the Bucks and if you would like learn about the Bucks' offense, check this great film breakdown on their offense by Half Court Hoops, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z19PLISR0zY&t=1488s

Anyways here is the playbook for you guys to implement:

Will you be doing anymore teams? I’ve been looking for someone to do playbooks, since 2k hasn’t really been updating team playbooks.

Yes, hopefully I can finish the Suns today. Thanks!

I have been obsessed with Monty Williams’ playbook since he took over the Suns last season, with complex tricky actions combined with an incredible ability to own the play after the initial play breaks down.

The Suns run the most Horns sets out of any team in the NBA and I tried my best to add most of the Horns Out plays that they ran into NBA 2k. Combining one of the toughest actions to guard with one of the highest IQ & well-drilled passing teams and your offense will be a very good one in NBA 2k.
