TEAM STRATIGIES INSIDE...

steve nash is definitely more of a three point threat then casey jacobsen. steve nash broke kobe's record for most three pointers in a game for me.

That's great! Just what I was looking for!

Thanks a lot!

weed manus, isn't that the old list based off last season, and the same one posted on November 30th in this thread?

I've found a lot of errors and outdated information in it. For example, the Nets and Kings use Princeton Offense (Not in 2004, is it in 2005? Anyway it's closest to Sideline Triangle), the Lakers use Horns (Double High) and Sideline Triangle, the Cavaliers use UCLA (Utah), and the 76ers use a 1-4 set and Isolations for AI. And that's just the teams listed under Motion.

Jeez!! You're right Jim...I never noticed that...SORRY GUYS!! Oops...

JimRaynor55, could you update the full list please? I'd very interested in hearing what you have to say.

Here's an updated list using some of Jims findings...

Can someone explain me what Isolation means?

It's like Kobe's play, he plays 1-on-1 against his opponent.

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable basketbal fan, but I really don't know what the differences are between 1-4 High, Double-High, Flex, or Motion offenses in the Team Strategy menu.

Anyone know where I can get at least a partial description of those offenses?

Also, what do you find effective?

I know the first post is old, but some of those are befuddling. Ben Gordon as a lock-down defender?! Rashard Lewis?! Derek Anderson?! They are complete defensive liabilities (DA to a lesser extent). Finley is a bit more reasonable, but the Mavs always, always turn to Josh Howard who has done a fine job on superstar wing players. Igoudala is the 76ers' lockdown defender. JJ covers the wing players for the Suns. Rafer Alston, when it should be MoPete?! Just some quick thoughts, didn't go through all of them.

Also, there were teams that hardly ever play the 2-3 zone that are listed to be playing the 2-3 zone. Example: Boston. They used to play a 2-3 zone/sagging man hybrid, but not anymore. Zone looks are only thrown out by teams on occasion.

If the 1-4 High in Live is anything like the 1-4 set in offense, then there shouldn't be a single team that runs this set consistently. The 1-4 is used very rarely and you see it most often at the end of quarters, when a team with a good penetrating guard is holding for the last shot. (A 1-4 set is one guard, usually the Point, at the top of the key, and the other 4 down along the baseline, with the wing players around the 3 pt line. It generally starts off with all 4 players in a 'line', but once the 1 breaks down his defender, you'll usually see at least one player come up and a big man vacate his spot for a wing jumper).

What happened to the diagrams for the plays that were in the game last year?

does anybody know which offense in NBA Live comes close to the one the Sixers are currently playing since they got Webber?

iso with allen iverson

Are there any plays that take the guard or small forward in the post?

when i use the suns, im always frustrated cuz nobody's ever running.. do you guys know how i can fix that??

I use Ballscreen 1 to get my SG's open in the post, there is most likely a ballscreen play that does the same for the SF

Yea, I hate to correct you, but your information on the Miami Heat is incorrect.

What you put:
Miami
Best Offensive Play: Post Up W/Shaq
Three-Point Threat: Damon Jones
Best Defense: Man to man
Lockdown Defender: Dwayne Wade
Inside Scoring: Shaq

What you should have put:
Miami
Best Offensive Play: Post Up W/Shaq
Three-Point Threat: Eddie Jones
Best Defense: Man to man
Lockdown Defender: Dwayne Wade
Inside Scoring: Shaq

Eddie Jones is a better 3 point shooter then Damon Jones, even though Damon has a better 3 point rating. I'm sure alot of people will agree with me there.

just asking,is there a diagram of the available plays in live2005 like the one in live2004.i think its in the playbook when you choose a play on live2004.does live2005 have it?pls help...

why dont use dallas instead, do a post up on bradley then do a pick to get nowitzki above to rim then do a quick turn around jumper?

lucious harris should have a 3 point mark. Hes crazy

yes but the craziest is ray allen

does anybody know which offense in NBA Live comes close to the one the Sixers are currently playing since they got Webber?

Pick and roll (well really pick and pop), ballscreens.

Could some one please explain to me when to use and waht are offenses/defenses such as 1-4 high etc...,I can grasp everything thats all default on the d-pad but everything else In the playbook I have no clue what they are used for @_@

Best thing to do is play with a really good defensive team like San Antonio and throw the full court press on the opposing team.. block off all inbound options.. also pisses off the opponent
