NBA 2K16 Tips : Best Offense to Score. How to Break Defense. Freelance Pace Motion Tutorial #20

[@mra5685]

After watching your tutorials, I never looked at the game the same again! I just realized how the devs perfected this game, and you're the only one that shows the beauty in my opinion.

[@Beanskiiii]

exactly, just started watching and I'm not really good at 2k but this is how you should play

[@Markblood889]

Him and da czar really show the intricacies off

[@robertcalkins4979]

earned a sub with this one. Im new to actual strategy in NBA2k haha. I love the idea of running a consistent set rather than different plays on offense. Please do more of these!

[@clos2k]

I started out playing online in the freshman rank and was 4-0, I got a loss in JV due to Internet issues then won 2 straight then I faced an opponent who was running plays and playing good defense like I was and he beat me by 5 playing with the Spurs and I faithfully play with the Timberwolves. I was lacking space in my offense Online and offline as I'm 0-6 playing on Superstar in my GM. I watched a few videos at first when SamPham started posting to KZbin and now I watch them everyday to catch up and my game has improved greatly. I recently ran the Pace offense and I had wide open shots all over the floor, added the flush and and had some nice dunks in the lane. Finally my offense was running fluid and I got my first W. It was insane Rubio had only 3 points but had 21 assists and 7 rebounds which I've never done before I think my highest was 12. Thanks SamPham I will continue to watch your tutorials and improve my game and hopefully see you on the court one day. I'm always looking for a good game if you want to play me @ C_LOS_2K.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+clos 2k Thanks for the support man i really appreciate that. Yes improving in 2K is a slow journey, but boy if you put in the time and find the right tutorials for yourself and your squad ? You can beat anybody any day

[@clos2k]

Your tips are the real deal, I've been playing 2K since the beginning and this years version has been the best yet. I used to just run and gun but and and let the CPU call my plays. I never knew how to use the Pace Motion Offense till I watched this video and it's a perfect fit for my game. Thanks for the tips Phamily and I'll keep watching and supporting your movement in the 2k community.

[@Christopher-dd1ph]

Bro, your vids fill a void that NO ONE on youtube has filled. Unbelievably informative and easy to follow. Perfect explanations with dry run and live runs....just awesome. Constructive criticism - drastically reduce the facecam time, specifically after the intro. I skip through it cuz I can't stand being told to sub/like/comment/etc in every single video. If people like ur shit then they will sub. No one needs to be told to do so, especially in every single video. This is a minor gripe tho. Like I said you know your shit and you're the best in the game for 2k strategy/tutorials. NO ONE does it better! Thank you!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Agreed. I have stopped mentioning since the last videos I think ^^ Is the ticker annoying ? Should I remove that too or ? Thank you for the kind words but especially the constructive feedback; that's golden information ^_^ Glad I could help your 2K game grow ^^

[@coltonmang6187]

This is very nice, and is the type of content that sets you apart from the other mainstream youtubers. This is why you need to find a way back to the C2K league, bro. It's going to be a great year, and I cannot wait to adapt this with my Pistons. Take Care, Sam.

[@sunkingborn747]

This is by far the best tutorial I've seen yet this season. I've been a play caller but I can mix this in with my game easily. Thanks alot.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Raymond Lunn Thats right you got the idea. This is the base but you should always mix in your favourite plays into it. That's will truly make a deadly deadly offence

[@WindzaRyan]

Teach us all the offenses and the difference between motion and freelance

[@jjtp83]

Very educational . Please do more vids like this. This helps me a great deal in this game. I have been playing my gm. The pace offense keeps the ball moving and keeps the defense guessing. Great tutorial. Good to part of the PHAMILY!!!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Yes this one will help you avoid stagnant and lack of continuation problems :) Glad you are part of the Pham haha

[@riisky2x813]

First time thanking somebody for a KZbin video in years but you doing a good job never have a shit 65% in a game on 2k you should have a counter video as well for people who needs help on defense

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Thank you for the kind words ^^ all my defensive systems can slow this down. But at the end of the day if you run this with mozgoz, love, and Lebron the D will always end up giving up something. Good offense always has advantage on a good defense

[@elicantu5725]

this scheme is crazy good. started running it as soon as I got the game, 34-3 as the rockets online, in the NBA online league winning trophies in every league so far. key is calling isos, utilizing the PnR and moving the ball around. shooters get open consistently

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Yup that's how I do it. If you make harden and Dwight the PNR combo in this is not even fair lol

[@elicantu5725]

Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 thats usually how i play it, if the roll isn't there, harden usually either beats the defender or draws the defenders off the guys on the wing, almost too easy finishing with harden at the rim Keep up the hard work, these videos are awesome!

[@write2nick]

I like this format. Needed more detail breakdown of how things work with play calling. Thanks a lot Sam.

[@write2nick]

I think once I learn more proper plays and mechanics, it will be more fun to build your team as I progress in MyLeague.

[@sammickelson3659]

Perfect timing! Just stopped playing 2K and there's a new Sam Pham video in my sub-box. Awesome! :)

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Sam Mickelson Thank you :) Hopefully i can help you adapt the pace motion cuts to your game :)

[@jblove53]

I just feel freelance defeats the purpose of actually being in control. I know this is for people who dont call plays so it helps create motion within the offense even when those settings are arent fixed to.show plays. My point is though, for people who actually run freelance correctly with the playart to.show all and settings to select who your offense runs through, you mgjt as well run your own plays because these plays are being called from the playbook. I love calling plays though because you know exactly what you're going to get depending on the situation

[@Scott05]

best tutorial by far.. thanks Sam! I hope you can tackle all the freelance offenses and what teams would benefit best from them. Keep up the good work!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Scott Cinco Yes i will try. I plan to do team specific stuff very soon so keep an eye out :)

[@pnoymamba24]

This guy is the real deal! Hopefully he does tutorials for Black Ops 3 🙌

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

I am terrible at FPS lol it will be so bad but probably incredibly high comedic value haha

[@JayPtown]

Why didn't I find you earlier?! These plays are money for MyTeam! I'm gonna start practicing in domination to help defeat the overpowered off-ball defense. I was on a 6 game losing streak and my confidence on shots was terrible. It seemed like I was always missing shots and not able to get the shots I wanted. Liked and subscribed!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+JayPtown You can always catch up with my all tutorial playlist everything is in order in there :) I am glad you found me haha now you will never go back, best 2K tutorials in the world guaranteed

[@sethroy5717]

Great to see another set. I've been running Swing with my Wolves (year 2 of MyGM, running with Lavine, Ben McLemore, Wiggins, Jared Sullinger and Towns as my starters. Lot of outside shooting.) DaCzar has great breakdowns of the Swing.

[@bobjoe8434]

Sampham your tutorials are so well!! Very underrated channel thank you a lot brotha

[@Nen_Ya]

Thanks for another great vid! After a few year playing 2k I got a bit bored lately, but after watching your tutorials I forgot how deep this game was. Keep up the good work! :)

[@ragerhino9909]

Sam Pham comes through again. You have elevated my enjoyment of this great game so much. Thanks.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

That's why I do what I do ^_^ help the Phamily win but most importantly have more fun ^_^

[@jonalta]

Sam Pham I just used the new set online. And just made my opponent QUIT!!! Bro u just don't how much u helped me. Thank you thank you!!! And I can't wait for tomorrow video.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Beautiful haha the online feedback of this has been very positive so the Phamily is adapting to this quickly. I am glad :)

[@CUSHJONESDAGREAT]

I'm a good 2k player but I never knew about the pace option,I've always jus ran plays that was given. You've stepped my game up I'm on a ten game win streak now thnx a lot and lookin forward to 2k17 tips

[@fcloading]

I'm the PG of my high school team and imma run this here! watch this succeed at the D1 level. you the man

[@NbaLive4ever]

Great video Sam! Love the strategy here. I love pick and rolls and the spacing here

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

This is very useful online because the games are much shorter. So something that flows smoothly like this is godsend for online games :) Actually my video tmr will show me using this on RTTP so keep an eye out :)

[@douss11]

[@gameathlete]

The best 2K tutorials on the net!! :) Thanks for all of your hard work...now I need to take notes so that I can compete with all of these young guys..lol

[@bigJNY]

This pace freelance seems like the true version of the 7SOL offense, in comparison to the actual 7SOL freelance offense that is in the game. This P&R is set up a lot quicker than the 7SOL freelance that requires 1-2 cuts before the "signature" P&Rs are called

[@KenDonMusicYT]

I've been using pace motion with my point guard in myCareer and it's beautiful. I might not get as many assists as with the default motion because I end up swinging the ball for that extra pass before the basket, but we get the points and that's what matters. With the pace in tandem with the set plays and some easy dimes to the post man, our offense is beautiful. Now I just have to figure out how to get my teammates to stop leaving the shooters open so often.

[@michaelcantos2654]

can't wait for the my career tutorial. and hopefully you can keep doing this every friday. much love phamily

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Michael Cantos Yes i plan to make a freelance tutorial every saturday morning ish. It will take me a week to figure everything out, so Saturdays for freelance makes sense haha

[@semk2248]

Yah I am thinking of doing a freelance "Friday" thing type of thing too. But I think is Saturday for me actually lol

[@rain__man]

Thanks for the vid phamily, it takes a lot of practice time to learn the set by oneself so I'm glad I can refer to this video instead

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Kamal Al-Dheeb Yah took me a bit to figure all this out lol

[@rain__man]

+Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorial Yep, I know how to run Swing, Flow and 3 fist out, didn't get to pace yet. It seems to be the best set for myteam tbh

[@kingakuma7]

+Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorial What P.O.E do you use for this offense, I know some of the P.O.E doesn't matter cause you have auto plays turned off. but rebounding and defense

[@tmac13in34]

this is my first "next gen" 2k game I got. It is a lot different then the ps3/xbox build lol, cpu was so easy to beat. Now I still beat them on hall of fame but the way i beat them isn't very efficient my offense is shit but damn this is helping!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Your welcome and thank you :)

[@cargle7514]

Great job on the tutorial! Cool you added face cam as well!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Mike Smith Yup the only FACE CAM 2k tutorials on youtube lol

[@ImaBeast928]

used this for 3 games without practicing for myteam RTTP, beat 2 people with it and the 3rd game it was it tied up until the start of the 4th qtr when i switched to 4 out 1 in w/spacing. if i didnt switch i probably couldve won. nonetheless it is fun as hell running this offense so many open looks

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

And this was WITHOUT practice for you. Imagine once you are really familiar with it.. I take it to another level sometimes by blending it with plays lol twice as deadly and twice the fun haha

[@JohnSalamat]

hey sam you're a 2k genius man! i'm diggin' this up! can you make a tutorial for triangle offense?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+John salamat Thank you :) Yes i should be doing that soon, so much on my plate haha

[@josephtaraouat6689]

by the way man you are spot on with these tutorials u took my game to another level Phamil

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Thank you :) that's what I do haha and make sure you try and have more fun with 2k ^_^

[@Kingjay19]

Shit worked like a mexican cutting grass...i used this setup bs the cav and totally smacked them ..i used Houston and that boy Howard was having a field day in the paint ..great vid brah

[@whtemke]

suggestion, I think at the end of the offense vids you should show a quick defensive strategy against that said offense. it's quicker than making another video about it.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+whtemke23 that's too much on my brain lol I need time to figure it all out. If i do the defense too my production time could take twice as long then no one in the family gets to watch anything haha

[@whtemke]

+Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorial true. plus you always update us if you notice anything on the defensive side.if it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess.

[@ChrisOliver4307]

This offense works great with Miami 2012-13. Sub out Haslem with Battier and just rain down threes.

[@PillzBerry27]

Excellent video my friend.. This offense is best in 2k16.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Yes I agree also so far this is the best. I have a new one coming out on Friday tho. Might top it haha check it out when it comes out :)

[@redwall14]

Hi Sam thanks for the great video!! Helped a lot. Can u do a video on how to best play in the gauntlet?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Gabriele Mauri I have only played one game in the gauntlet this year haha i will check it out and see what tips i can find :)

[@hardbodygaming2016]

Perfectly normal to be turned on by beautiful basketball. Awesome tutorial Sam Pham! Read and react, freelance offense is where it's at. Keep these shits coming

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

That corner action is way too sexy in this freelance lol so modern day Spurs like

[@anonmousse]

Hey Sam! Great videos! Can you do some tutorials on the Triangle offense? I understand the basic 4 options but I want to know how to expand the offense from them. Big big Thanks!

[@domp242mgmballerz]

nice offense...man these tips have really helped me out...i have also won three online matches in a row since using your offence in play now online

[@sketchy4life1]

awesome, can't wait to go into practice mode and try this. I love how/when you say, beautiful basketball! that's beautiful basketball phamily..lol cause it really is. so glad I subscribed to you

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Sketchy4Life This game is most fun when played like this. Consistent spacing and action you can rely on are gonna lead you to many beautiful results :)

[@Max-gv5rp]

After I ran this a few times the cpu started playing the pass lanes and I consistently ran out of time an had to force up a terrible shot. What do I do?

[@trippster33011]

Thanks for the guide sam. Do you have to scroll through the menus to get to pace every time before you bring the ball up or do you set it once and it stays?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Set it once and it will stay, just make sure you go to options and cocach settings and set everything to manual ^_^

[@4-CQL]

What is the corner side? First you said corner on the right, then you said the corner side was the left. I don't think you really explained what makes a side a "corner side" and what makes it a "stack side".

[@Haroldtyler46]

the best freelance action plays is 2-3zone motion do a video on that.... I don't lose as much using it Sam pham we got to lab this year..I'm one of the best online..

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+BLOVE REALSOF I will take a look at the 2-3 zone freelance you mentioned ^^ Sure we cab lab maybe in novmeber ^^ add me on twitter: @sampham20

[@jaydatechjaycruz8068]

Thanks samphan for these tutorials have got unstopable in 2k insane 👍

[@samuell.colesioe7137]

Great Video, i would love for you to demostrate this & future videos against man & zone as I get lost & what type of passing besides icon are you using? Also can you show the difference on each freelance with freelance options & motion one more thing can you trigger an auto play at the top

[@NCFgamingHD]

Just a question, when I pause a game online there is no option to assign plays, PLEASE REPLY!!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Elliot Bluer Can't do that on MyTeam :( But should be okay for PlayNow online tho

[@frylockfromathf9592]

hey sam love the videos! any tips or links for passing? i hate it when my players don't hit the open man and the results are unnecessary turnovers 🙄

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Controller settings passing preset "direction"

[@boxingsm.v.p8714]

Ego quan I think the difference is pace freelance is an auto offense based on ball position plays are automatically put into motion.

[@imdahman1]

Hey SamPham. I'm having trouble with the corner action off the 1st set - There never seems to be an angle from the corner to hit the Centre - most of the time I'm giving up steals to the other team :(

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Tom Chounpanh That one is a situational action, if it isn't there don't force it :) You gotta get the big to roll nicely plus make sure the corner guy isn't being guarded tightly :)

[@TheInvaderz]

It totally works fine with me, the freelance pace works wonderfully with me. However, when you noted out that you'll always have a wing on the right in the video and one on the left, and a center always rolling through the paint. Thats right but its not always the same. Somehow for some reason, I notice that both PF and C go right on the periemeter, and sometimes the PF goes up on the periemeter, and when I run the play, the player that tends to be open on corner is either the PF or C which unables me to convert the open shot. Despite the fact that I can manage playing through that, arent their any ways where i would ensure every player is at his position? Regards,

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Make sure you call the pick for the Center in set 1. As for the 4 man filling the top of the key during the roll, that's no big deal because you can swing it with him to the sides to trigger the auto plays. You need a shooting PF for pace because it is a 4-1 set constantly.

[@prtsmith437]

need more freelance offense...this was great

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+prtsmith437 Probably triangle or princeton next saturday ^^ something non pick and rolly haha

Also 2k needs to fix the pnr glitch. Cause I can't pass the ball to my center or corner after I do the pnr. Have to use icon pass can't use direction pass.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Yah that's why I have changed my game to icon pass 24/7 now. Nothing I can do until they fix the glitch :(

[@sfouras]

Hey sam. Thanks for all the tutorials. Unfortunately when i try to run this offense my players don't spread out like this. Any suggestions?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Make sure you are in a pace motion offense or Warriors motion offense. And call lots of quick isos

[@ronniejohnson8934]

[@midnight151988]

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+RJ “Hoop 19” Hooper I think that might be the one i go to next week or maybe the princeton. I want to run something that doesn't need a Pick and Roll :)

[@midnight151988]

+Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorial Yea it's got some good off ball motion to get guys open

[@jonalta]

I have notice that your plays get tired quicker using this set.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Oh GOOD looks. I didn't know that, chalk one up for realism I like it.

[@irvinghenriquez8231]

what if your opponent always controls the centre and holds him and follows ur cutting center at the top of the pg set?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Irving Henriquez then you have to make sure you run the AI on ball defender into the pick. Once that defender hits the pick your opponent has to either switch or sag down. He sags down you pull up, he switches you hit the rolling big.

This video was so helpful. Thank you

Sam Pham NBA 2K17 Tips and Tutorial can you help me with pick and roll defense please?

[@jjtp83]

why do you set it on motion cuts and not freelance offence on the menu. what's the difference? that's what's confusing or better yet "space the floor?"

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Motion cuts is better to kill of zones and doubles. Space the floor won't trigger as many auto plays :) Freelance is roster dependent ^_^ motion cuts more consistent ^^

[@shake1494]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks bro!

[@ichininja5892]

So I have a question, but about defending these kinds of offences. Please let me know if you disagree, but I have the feeling that Pace and 4-1 are a bit easier to stop than the swing or the warriors by using the defensive settings. I started the game using the 4-1, now I'm on the Warriors Motion. The Warriors is hard to run (for me) and do read and react but gives you tons of options all the time but I'm turning the ball over a lot (avg about 10. bad passes, either spacing or forcing). So the question is, do you think that those (swing and warriors) are offences that are harder to stop through defensive settings?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Ichi Ninja Pace Motion Cuts is a super star driven offense. You get two offensive stars running that scheme with shooters, doesn't matter what you do the defense will BLEED points. As for the swings those are big man oriented offence you need good passing bigs with post up skills. Also if you don't have a lot of smart passers and a patient personaility, those swing type offence will lead to tons of turnovers. Swing offences are easier to stop because they encourage slightly more crowding. A pace motion with stars is un-guardable. Don't run the 4-1 anymore haha pace motion is 4-1 maximized. A well run swing offence is better than Pace; BUT you have to run it well. Otherwise is too slow and really turnover prone.

[@ichininja5892]

+Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorial Thank you for the reply. That reply was gold to me. In quick matches I usually use the Spurs and Swing (or Warriors) and have a lot of fun with it, but in RTTP not so much. In RTTP I use Draymond at PF so yeah, no post moves there. I'll switch to pace on RTTP and keep practicing the swing on quick matches. It's interesting you mention personality, I do feel that my game varies a lot with my mood and focus. I like running quick 4 out 1 in offences this year (especially compared to last year), but when I score from a swing offence... I think I'm the 2013/14 Spurs :) Again, thank you. That will help me choose what to run, especially adjusting according to my mood. (it may sound weird, but this was one of the best piece of advices I got from all the great content you post)

[@heatedryan3299]

sam thanks for this video.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Your welcome :)

[@beverlyphil6919]

Nice video....my players dont stand like this. i checked all options and have space//motions. Do you know why ?

[@matthewkane1417]

Hey Phamily, going back to this offense, I know last year the phamily was running pace/freelance, this year you suggest motion cuts. I've tried both, they are similar, but I'm curious as to why you keep it motion cuts? Is it because of the consistent action and spacing? I noticed in Pace/Freelance if the pick comes from the C it doesn't always send you to the corner side, therefore we wont know exactly who is where and when, is that why we keep it motion cuts?

[@axlone8914]

Cool tutorial.It's almost semester break here in Philippines and can't wait to the PS4 gaming point near our school and try this out.Thanks +Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorials I hope you reach 100k by the end of the year!How to open th e playbook again?

That's wassup pham, good shit.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+David Moose Yes i love this offence. this might be good for the entire cycle of the game i feel :)

[@eddyINCREDIBLE]

Can you describe what the motion cuts and difference between freelance?

[@menaalex8]

great tutorial. this offense will work well on my Sacramento kings my league

[@melvintatum3742]

Well Done. What offense would you recommend for my Brooklyn nets

[@jayquest310]

hey sam. . are u still in the bucks play book with Houston on the freelance

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Jay Foriest No play book necessary for this. I am on pace for the freelance with motion cuts as the action. Not Houston ^^

[@kprodigy8565]

+Sam Pham NBA2K Tips and Tutorial wat would be the best way to defend this

[@warrentaylor5095]

Do you pretty much always use icon passing to get it to the roll man? because you do it so fast. In my world the icons hang above everyones head for around a second before I make the pass and by then its usually a turnover :(

[@icysuspect]

So, how would you build a MyTEAM around this offense? Looks like it needs a stretch four, and depends pretty heavily on the 1 and 5 P&R as the bread and butter to get things going. Right now my lineup looks like this: - Stephen Curry - Klay Thomson - Kawhi Leonard - Blake Griffin - Anthony Davis Is Steph the ideal PG for this, or is a slashing point guard like RWB better? What kind of stretch four has the defense, rebounding and shooting to make this unstoppable? PG24, KD, Ibaka, Draymond, Dirk? Just not sure what the ideal lineup for this is. What do you think?

+icysuspect watch cash nasty i taught this to him and he built the perfect team for it lol

[@MarcDanielAngeles]

What do you think if I run this set together with the Bucks playbook? Is this set recommended for running the double dragon? so when it fails i can go back to freelance?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Yup I do that a lot. Tmr I will show online footage of how I carry that put :)

[@nikolasmartinez5152]

for some reason no matter how good my timing is, using shooters with ratings over 80, and shot grades better than B+ I cannot make more than 1 or 2 3pt out of 10.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Just keep generating open shots and keep shooting them ignore makes, misses, and especially grade level

[@warrentaylor5095]

does setting up 'late game fouling' to manual really make any difference?

[@slowka]

very nice work!!

[@Max-gv5rp]

Also the spacing has changed and the 4 is on the wing.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Max Brock that happens sometimes I think. Depending on your 4-man

"That's beautiful basketball!"

[@SLyCeMD]

I understand what happening... So you are calling for this spacing every time you bring the ball up? Or is it just during that first moment you showed at the beginning? Also, are you on ps4 Wouldn't mind getting beat on a couple times for practice haha lol

[@SLyCeMD]

Also, I noticed you didn't mention the defensive schemes that were being used. It looked like protect the paint? Neutral aggression. Does that affect these nice freelance sets? If the team is playing limit permitter and aggressive? How different would these sets feel then?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+TheTruth26 Yes for the spacing everytime i bring the ball up that's correct ^^

[@trustparadox]

wish i could run this in pro-am but my friends just clog the paint all day

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Yah is rough out there at pro am for organize basketball :( if you are on Xbox hit up my man @ladragonss on Twitter. He runs a nice team

[@broertjevanZwartelon]

Nice video Sampham. This offense is overrated in nba2k, because you are counting on individual talent and just players standing in one spot while waiting for the pass or the action, if you dont have a modern 4 that can space the floor it wont work, But in nba2k the pNr is pretty overrated , especially the rollman. Thats just personal interests maybe, I do like the swing movement when u get some action

[@bryanbriggs8834]

A lot of times when I run this the PF will come up from the wing and set a screen instead of Center, thus creating a different look. Am I doing something wrong?

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

+Bryan Silagi yup. You want to use icon PnR to make sure your C comes to set ball screen. Go to my beginner's playlist and watch the PnR tutorial :)

[@bryanbriggs8834]

+Sam Pham Bingo! That did the trick! Wish 2k would have better tutorials in game, but I guess I'll just have to keep watching your vids #subscribed
