Do you run set plays?

What up? I was wondering how many of you actually run plays out of a set offense and how many just run and gun or improvise.

I am struggling to learn a few of the set plays (other than the quick plays). As you can imagine, it’s difficult to practice two or three as the defense becomes use to the set up.

This is sort of interesting. From the few people that voted, about 3/4 hardly ever use the set plays.

I will say, it is much more fun to improvise.

I rarely use screen's. but usually, i just improvise with what i've got going.

Yeah, I also find its difficult to stay up with, let alone ahead of, a decent team if I'm not runnin' and gunnin' and improvising.

It seems like either the CPU anticipates the pass/shot from the set play or slowing down to setup and wait for the play to develop (and then starting over if it breaks down) does not give you enough shots at the basket to keep pace with the CPU.

Seems like you best chance at winning is to just let it all hang out.
