Coach Mode

HiJumpr111 · 10-27-2009, 07:27 PM

After years of playing either a 2K or Live Franchise, I have decided to give Coach Mode a try.

In my first outing as the Pacers versus the Hawks, I rallied from a 17 point 4th quarter deficit to win 111-110 on a Danny Granger layup with 2.4 seconds left.

I really can't take much credit for the comeback as I felt I was powerless offensively. I did, however, decide to pick up the the Hawks full-court defensively and selected "defense" as my "point of emphasis" during a timeout with 3:00 remaining.

Offensively, though, other than picking up the Offensive Tempo and maybe trying to run the break more, I wasn't sure what kind of impact my decisions made.

Maybe I need a better understanding of the Coaching Option Slider bars.
Offensive Temp, Crash Boards, Defensive Pressure, etc....

I can only assume maxing all these bars out will result in negated effects?

I'd like to hear your guys' take on these sliders -- whether you play in Coach Mode or not.

I'm confused. Do you mean like association?

Actually, I'm just playing a Season rather than an Association. I have Coach Mode turned on.
