can't dunk with my shot creating/slasher

Re: can't dunk with my shot creating/slasher

One idea has come to me.

The guys at 'nba2klab' might be willing to run a test on how dunking tendencies do affect dunk frequencies in this year's title for both users and CPU and not CPU alone.

Should they come up with data that speaks with resounding evidence: it will give your case and the case for other tendencies tied to abilities the platform they need for building an understanding between business and community regarding how the two parts work together to influence outcomes.

I'll reach out to them over Twitter today at my earliest convenience.

That would be really incredible. Thanks for helping with this, it's really a bummer for all of us.

Re: can't dunk with my shot creating/slasher

So I decided to make a new player offline. Made the exact same player as my main player, 6’5 Slashing Playmaker PG...went into tendancies and the driving dunk was at a 44, idk if it was because I was offline but 2k probably updated it on the low. So if you made a Slashing Playmaker at launch and your driving dunk tendancy is 25 then you might have to make a whole new player for the updated tendency smh

Leafing through the back pages of this thread it does appear to be a trend regarding what you just provided here.

(60 Overall builds are dunking with predictable and even surprisingly effective ease with stock attributes)

Anyone creating the same affected build after September 20 Beluba tuning is seemingly experiencing "resolved" build.

At this point, any build created before September 20 tuning will continue to experience the damages indefinitely if the tuning did not already correct their experience. These users will need Beluba support to educate 2kSupport on the tendencies that need to be adjusted for these affected builds.

2kSupport could then engineer a similar fix that they performed for users who lost their builds.

Those affected builds post September 20 tuning are at the mercy of 2K. 1. The developers need to care and 2. The developers, similar to Beluba, need to empower 2kSupport to apply the "catch-up" fix or 3. Have Beluba create the "catch-up" fix.

I have reached out to NBA2KLAB. If they choose to run a high level report on relationship between tendencies and dunks, and how they not only affect attempts but also frequency and style, then it would raise more global awareness albeit I'm still not sure Beluba cares to address these builds that were not able to be purged from the blaze.

We can rest assured it was never related to user inputs or user skill or a lack thereof. The September 20 tuning has seemingly offered a new slate for any characters created since then.

It's possible folks might raise a concern about Standing Dunk frequencies / tendencies (mainly the prevalence of 7ft bigs being the almost sole standing dunkers) and that may later bring Beluba's attention back on the case.

For now, 2K is basically flying the GG flag in our faces.

No f'in way, NOOOOO. I thought you could only see tendency when you became a 90?

Oh man, it makes so much sense now. How can I help/what's next? I wishe more people had experienced this but it is what it is. I should have just started the new placeholder player when 2ksupport offered it.

Re: can't dunk with my shot creating/slasher

Just stopped by to say I have had my guy since the pre-order launch (6’4 Slashing Playnaker) and after the “fix” I started dunking more, not all the time but more and now that I have silver posterizer I slam fairly easily.

If you guys don’t have bronze posterizer yet then you should wait to get it before you decide to create a new player based on a hunch.

I think I may have a plan for you considering Marvs insight with the offline creations.

You already have record of your current builds tendencies.

What you could do now is create the same build offline and capture that player's tendencies.

If you are able to dunk with the offline build and the offline build also reflects different tendencies: you will now have a decent case you can offer to Beluba and 2kSupport.

If you do reach this outcome: keep a screenshot of both tendencies from each character and attach this to your new 2k case. If you're able to capture this on video and share a YouTube link that would also enhance the level of understanding on the case

All I really see as the main challenge here is getting 2kSupport to understand the discrepancy and then getting them to acknowledge how they can apply a fix for you - only two challenges but both huge [emoji33]

The expectation is they offer you an updated character with the corrected tendencies. You might suffer a loss of progress in some areas of your Player Progression as did users who lost their characters and received new "recovered" ones.

Re: can't dunk with my shot creating/slasher

It's funny because the CPU has higher dunk tendencies "under the hood".

Like, they're automatically dunking more in traffic and I had to turn up my slider a bit (or theirs down) to see a better balance.

Well, everyone's suggestions lead me to exactly hat I suspected. Post day-one patch created players (Slashing Playmakers, in my case) were indeed fixed. I created an offline player with my exact dimensions/archetype and sure enough: 44 driving dunk tendency, not 25, which my current, day one player has. Will be sending to 2ksupport. If anyone can help move this up the flagpole, please help.
