Official NBA 2K9 Team Playbooks

[TC#10]

Did anyone else change the playbooks for teams? There is a forum at: http://www.operationsports.com/forums/n ... teams.html where I have and many others have change playbooks for teams so that they can utilize their respective superstars (getting Wade, Lebron, Kobe, etc.. more touches) so that they can score more for their team.

I've noticed when I was using the Heat's Playbook for Miami, the CPU did not get Wade alot of scoring opportunities but when I changed it so that Miami was using the Buck's Playbook, Wade was scoring more and the cpu was passing to him more. I've also changed Cleveland's playbook so that they use the Piston's Playbook instead and the CPU team is passing to Lebron more. Also using Mav's Playbook for Boston (Pierce gets more touches) and Piston's Playbook (Melo more touches)...

Miami: Buck's Playbook
Cleveland: Piston's Playbook
Boston: Mav's Playbook
Denver: Piston's Playbook
New York: Sun's Playbook

Anyone else has any other suggestions for other teams or if they've done this before?

Sounds like a good idea. Only thing I do is change the shooting tendencies of the coach profiles. Recently got torched by Lebron and the Cavs. I don't think I would be good at selecting playbooks since the coaches are different in my 4th year of Assocation mode, but it's worth a shot. Thanks for the link.

I've changed it to adapt to my style of play. I use the King's playbook, which has the wing plays cutting through the lane, and then coming off screens at the corners or near the elbow or 3-point line sometimes. If that doesn't work, a post player sets a screen for my PG and runs a pick & roll.

I also change the coaching tendencies. I like to run, so I slide the tempo slider over to the max, as well as the fast break slider. That way, when my bigs grab a rebound, they can just throw it to one of my wings.

I noticed that a lot of times, it's not the stars that light me up, but I never really thought about changing the CPU teams' playbook. Well, maybe then it won't be Mario Chalmers, Eddie House, or Mo Williams torching me. Won't help much against Steve Nash, Kobe, or LeBron though

The thing is that I want the CPU team to play realistic against me and that when I'm facing the Wades, Kobes, Lebrons of the NBA, I want them to dominate/lead their team when I am playing against them.
