Referring to the organic/automatic movements of the players in the court in the offense: In which ways will our teammates move in offensive aspects? Will their moves be different in the case that it is a point guard who has the ball in comparison with the moves that they'll perform if it is a center who has it? And if the player who has the ball is a scorer type of player, will the moves be different from the moves performed when a non-scorer player -like birdman, for example- has the ball?
Will we be able to choose the frequency of the organic/automatic pick and rolls or off-screens that our teammates will provide us?
Will we be able to choose the type of defense that we want to apply in a determinated moment, like for instance a defense more focused in denaying drives to the rim or points in the paint than denaying midrange jumpshots?
There will be any difference in the speeds between big men and point guard?
There will be any kind of momentum/ inertia in players, giving advantages in the dribbling aspect to the more agile/smaller ones?

Sry for my bad english =], greetings from barcelona, spain

PD: Could you ask also to the 2k developers - yep, apart from the nba live ones - about the off ball movements? It will be interesting to know about them too in the nba2k. Thx!
