Should the P&R be one of the top priorities?

Thu Sep 12, 2013 6:54 am

Being that this is the greatest PG era in league history and every team literally runs P&R, I think it's one of the gameplay features Live has to get down. I'm not trying to bash 2K here, but their broken P&R game turned me off to 2K13, as the screener would come late or set a weak pick. I remember the devs saying about Live 13 that they had something called 'Move With A Purpose', where your primary ball handler doesn't have teammates all outta place, you're not having to call for a screen all the time, your teammates are constantly setting screens or freeing up the lane for back door cuts. I hope Live still using that AI logic, but IMO, getting the P&R down to a tee is one of the more important aspects.

It's definitely something that they need to get right. Hopefully they've also retained the Pick & Roll Control so that we can manually call for screens and intuitively specify whether we want to run a pick and roll or pick and pop play. Those controls worked out fairly well in NBA Live 09 and NBA Live 10.

It's pretty much the basis to winning in professional basketball so it has to be done right.
