2K18 Play Breakdowns / Categories To Create your own Playbooks

Posted on October 26, 2017 at 11:28 AM.

Hey guys, here is a list of play breakdowns & info from within the thread I have in roster section... All the plays listed are executed well by both the CPU & the User (some better than others) with fast & good actions... All of these plays have been tested and broken down to categories they fir into so if you see some teams run a specific action it's easy to find that action in multiple play types. I will keep updating these as I continue go through all of my notes...

ENJOY!

The best High/Low plays are...

*Punch 5 Horns Fist - Low Post (Traditional High/Low look)
Punch 45X - Low Post
08 Punch 15 Fist - Low Post (Has High/Low look as an option)
Punch Horns Fist 45 - Low Post (DBL Horns Screen/High/Low Option)
*89 Punch 54 Horns - Low Post (High/Low)
Punch 42 Floppy - Guard Post (User Options/OK CPU/Elbow High/Low)

The Elbow plays like I listed above...

Fist 15 DBL Pin - PNR Option
Punch 45 Elbow RIP - Low Post
08 Punch 15 Fist - Low Post
Punch Zipper Fist 15 - Low Post (Options) - Zipper/Elbow/Flare/PNR/Post-Up
Punch 42 Floppy - Guard Post (User Options/OK CPU/Elbow High/Low)
Quick Swing Motion - 3 Pt.

Here are some for passing bigs like Webber or Sabonis. Check those classic teams as well as I loaded them up with big passing plays... Below are a few passing plays from bigs in the post, elbow, and high post. Keep in mind some the action go's through them not necessarily getting the assist. Also, these are plays the CPU and User can run well. I'm sure there are a few more but either bad spacing, execution, etc....

PNR Plays

Spoiler

I spoke earlier about breaking PNR's down to personnel and actions and locking down 30 of the best from different areas of the floor. There are some plays with different names you might not see on the list but I have the action covered and might be the same as a different play. No need to use the same set up and play name twice throughout playbooks as we want to create familiarity for a user as we go through the playbooks. Example is Fist 19 Up and Fist 5 Up Horns. These have great spacing and the CPU runs them well. It's now just about fitting best play to personnel in spots on the floor. So you will see all these plays littered in throughout all the teams books depending on scouting & personnel. Some plays have STS action, running screens, etc. Also, keep in mind when setting play types you can set P&R point, ball handler, or wing. So, when I set up the order for a wing PNR it will go in order of the PNR plays we want them to run 1st to last. I could have 15 PNR plays for the 1 that the wing can't use. They can only use the 24, 34, plays etc if set to wing PNR... Hope that makes sense.
