quick plays

I don't get these quickplays at all when I choose flare, or any of the toher double tap quick plays, the players jsut stand there and direct passing icons come up.. am i doing it wrong? help!

Position yourself behind the 3 point line in the center of the court when you call the play. Your teammates will go to their assigned positions and then the players will start moving. Some plays may require you to pass it to a player before the movement starts.
