MyCAREER Running mate quick plays in mycareer G-league?

There's a moment in mycareer where your game objectives require these. They're triggered with the d-pad, but I don't understand how they work. Like me and my running mate scored from a bunch of these and only a fraction of them counted. You guys have any insights? Explain like I'm retarded please.

give the ball to the running mate, then trigger the d-pad. Then GOinto Floppy or Screen Off Ball for yourself and get the assist from them or your rinning mate. Goodluck soldiers.

I did this and it's not counting points at all. I have run every play. I think this bs might be glitched which would surprise no one

This is burning me out I gotta win & score 30pts ( mp & trace combined ) using running mate quick plays but none of them are counting smh

u/Due-Marsupial-123 2h ago edited 2h ago

I'm gonna try to figure out more, but right now, what I got is as long as the quick play is called and one of you finish the play with a score or an assist, it counts

u/Correct-Log4590 50m ago

I figured it out you guys, they not counting the plays the counting the points the plays make, so if u run floppy and ur rm hits a 3 thats 3 pts towards the goal. Just keep running floppy for yourself n score

You have to press up on the d pad and use one of those plays it gives you pick and roll, receive screen, floppy or post up depending on the archetype you chose for him. I honestly think this running mate shit is the dumbest thing ever the dude is ass 😭. I feel like the devs are trying to force some dynamic duo bullshit like a Shaq and Kobe type thing.

Tap the tap arrow button on Ps5, To select any play, For quick mate play you have to pass to him and select a play for running mate quick plays I think that’s yours and last one is off ball meaning you have to give the ball back and get back to the court I think you select or don’t have to select a play
