Real-Time Coaching
Keep your game tight by using the Real-Time Coaching feature to call
plays or change your strategy during the game without breaking the
action.
To use Real-Time Coaching:
1. Use the playbook to assign plays to the D-pad. To access the
playbook, press X on the Controller Select Menu before the game
begins, and then select Playbook, or select Coaching from the
Pause Menu during a game, and then select Playbook.
2. During a game, press a direction on the D-pad to display the
coaching option you want to change:
Team Defense
Defensive Pressure
Tempo
Playbook
3. Press the D-pad again in the direction that corresponds with the
setting you want to use.
Play Your Own Way
Each team has its own default playbook that is filled with plays
similar to the ones used by the real NBA team. Your personalized
playbook will be saved along with the season or playoffs in which
it was created. If you want to revert back to the default playbooks,
press X on the Playbook Menu.

Playing in the Paint
Getting the ball down in the post is the perfect opportunity to show
your opponent just how weak his defense really is. Here are some
key post-play moves to master.
To perform any of the moves or shots, you must first start “backing
down” your defender by pulling and holding the left trigger while
inside or within two feet of the paint.
* The default setting for Shooting Control is Normal. If Shooting Control is
set to Easy, simply tap X to shoot. (See pg. 8.)
Note: This chart shows the direction to move the thumbstick in
relation to the basket. For example,
means to move the left
thumbstick toward the basket,
means to move it away from the
basket, and so on.
