Get cpu to shoot more 3s

[lebromelo]

Any tips?
Like 2k15, I feel the cpu in 2k16 is not aggressive enough shooting 3s.
Trying to get them to shoot over 20 attempts or a lil under 1/3 of their shots.
I'm getting arnd 10-15 shots at the moment.

My CPU sliders:
Inside shot tendency- 35
Close shot tendency- 30
Middle shot tendency- 50
Three point shot tendency- 100
Post shots- 55
Look for post- 53
Jumpshot defense gather- 40
Jumpshot defense release- 50
User on ball defense- 52

Re: Get cpu to shoot more 3s

Whats your attack the basket tendency? I keep this pretty low. Also i think 3pt shooting works when the cpu is behind the 3pt line. In other words, they cpu wont hunt for 3s.

If you want more threes, just up it a little bit and make sure the teams offesive focud is shoot at will. Also, roster editing is very important. It has a more direct effect than the slider. Make sure that with known 3pt shooters notch up theyre 3pt shooting tendency and contest shot tendency.

Re: Get cpu to shoot more 3s

I have my tendency sliders at:

Inside Shots: 30
Close Shots: 35
Mid-Range: 50
Three-Point: 90
Post Shots: 55
Attack the Basket: 30
Post Players: 60

Last game I played, the Celtics shot 24 3s, and only scored 32 points in the paint.

Around 25-30 depending on who I'm playing and what defensive strategy i use. But it's kind of key that you don't want to butcher the sliders too far from the 50 range because now you'll get most of the teams playing the same style. For example, Minnesota does not shoot a lot of threes because they're roster does not have 3pt shooters. You don't want Rubio chunking up 3s for the hell of it lol... If you gona butcher something, butcher the roster in my opinion.

I played another game with the same tendencies against the Pacers, and they only shot 19 3pts and scored 46 points in the paint. In 4 games with those tendencies, I have seen each team play to its own playstyle.

The only drastic difference I see from ur sliders to mine is drive the lane.
I'll try turning that down and see if I get better results.
But either way, I don't get why 2k doesn't increase the sensitivity of the sliders. Jus like the same logic behind the all-time scale player attributes. A 99 3pt shot tendency in sliders should be a crazy amount of threes.
