OFFENSIVE STRATEGY FOR CPU

Fri May 07, 2004 11:33 pm

Which offensive strategy should make the teams to make more realistic attack. I mean cpu making mid range jump shots and not allways going to the basket.

thank you.

varies per team, per player, per position the player is playing at. if you're a team with Shaq, you don't want a motion offense...you want to run an offense where he's in the post 24/7 and never ever comes out. if you're the jazz and have a good 4some of big men in 'tag, ak-47, tom, and collins, you WANT to run a motion offense that gets guys like ak-47, harpring, giricek, pavolvic easy shots. you want your big men to be setting screens cleaning the offensive glass, not stepping out (except for ak-47) or taking many shots.

i'll do a more in-depth analysis:
if i'm the houston rockets...i want Francis to be isolated. maybe a screen early in the play to get him free of his defender, but i want him isolated. he excels here. i want a play where Yao starts up top, but moves down low...both work to his strength...i want Kelvin Cato down low all the time and on the weak side. I want Mobley to wander the wing, cutting, but popping back out the wing...same with Jackson except he can cut more than Cat.

hope that helps.

They had a freelance offense more than anything.

So what are you saying?!? Just simply play the "Dynamic" team set?!?
I actually prefer the "Dynamic" team set...Once used to the way players run the floor this can be very effective...Although I find there are not enough "Set Plays" randomly selected while running "Dynamic"...But every now & again you will see a "Flex" being run by the Spurs...

Nah I wasn't implying anything regarding what to do with the game. I was just commenting...I personally don't like the "dynamic" offensive set. Despite its name, the players seem very static when I get one player with the ball...
