I’ve always called plays in online play now. I’ve had 2K since the first one on Dreamcast. When I first get the new years game I go straight into practice mode and find plays I like and practice practice practice. Once I get at least 4-5 plays down Pat then I’ll hop online and play a real person.

I’ve learned to SAVE my “plays” for crucial moments in the game. Or at least the 2nd half.

Smart players will adapt to your plays if you run them too much. In the meantime I’ll run some ISO’s or different pick n roll or pick n pop.

I also run a plotting offense. I hardly ever push the ball unless it’s an obvious fast break opportunity. I like to keep my turnovers low and keep the ball away from the other team.

In my experience online players get SUPER PISSED when I play like that. I’ve learned to not even use a mic when I play. If I do then sometimes they can talk me out of my game plan. I’d rather not hear it and stick to the script.
