2K19: Return of The Sim Roster

Re: 2K19: Return of The Sim Roster (X1)

I think this has already been said, I know it's a hard and long work but I wanted to know if possible if you have a release date for the complete Roster
Thanks

No exact date, but around the end of December. The current v0.3 file is a work-in-progress that’s continually updated and shared until then.

Re: 2K19: Return of The Sim Roster

I’ll start posting Defensive Settings tomorrow for the 5 teams completed, but here is a preview of the first half of Rockets/Jazz with the first minute showing all of the custom Defensive Settings.

Rockets vs Jazz

Difficulty is Superstar in the video.

YAK- FYI- I could not get this video to play. Not sure if anyone else is having similar issues.

YAK- Just a little feedback as I’ve been playing in scrimmage mode for an hour or two. Overall, it feels great, but we may need a some more balance with the lateral quickness of USER controlled on-ball defenders.

The CPU is blowing by me at will because the acceleration is high and my players almost have a delay in their lateral shuffling. Also, even when they start shuffling it is almost in slow motion. It really doesn’t matter who I am using on defense (Steph, Iggy, Klay, Draymond.)They feel almost stuck in mud.

Just some feedback for future testing.

Re: 2K19: Return of The Sim Roster

I went back to your slider set #2 on Superstar. I think I like the speed and movement a bit better on that set. I will keep playing.

Warm wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Try this link instead. I think it’s because I’m on my iPhone.

It takes adjustment, but you want to get on the ball handler’s hip instead of trying to laterally block their path. I’d bump User Speed or On-Ball Defense before Lateral Quickness if that’s the main problem you are having. If you see blow-by animations too often, it’s better to increase Speed and trigger the hip rides over brick wall defense.

The link to the spreadsheet for Defensive Settings has been added to the OP.

Thanks! This is great. For clarification, we can add these in coach setting one time in MyLeague and they will stick? Meaning we won’t have to update every game?

If we make these manual adjustments, does it eliminate the CPU defensive ACE adjustments during the game?

These can be set one time at the coach/team level in MyLeague. The player specific settings (including the center settings) need to be set at the start of every season. Unfortunately, you need to set them every game in Play Now.

From my testing so far, here's what I believe is happening (Czar/OG know best though):
1. The CPU still makes ACE adjustments to any setting which is Auto
2. The CPU still doubles on screens when Perimeter Double is set to Manual if a player reaches high point totals (although they don't double on catch from what I've seen)
3. ACE seems to override all settings for CPU teams in end-game situations.

There's still a chance that Czar/OG update the ACE defensive settings throughout the season and I'd be happy to not have to override these in the future. I'll also add some sample coach profile settings for future years in MyLeague where other coaches enter the league. There are only a handful of defensive styles that are used as the base defense throughout the league.

Love your attention to detail! I’m going to love using your roster.

I went back to your slider .3 (Superstar). The only change I made was moving the global game speed to 58 and the speed in slider settings up to 50. Feels pretty good to me.

The one thing I do notice is a lack of CPU shooting fouls. (I realize this is likely a hard coded issue)

I just played a full game against the Rockets and they only shot six free throws all game.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll check for this in the next few games, but I was seeing 12-16 FTA per game in play testing on All-Star. I'm only a handful of full User/CPU games into testing on Superstar though since most testing is CPU/CPU. There are still only 1-2 fouls per game at most on jump shots and there's nothing I've found to fix that.

Try moving the User Speed back down to 45 and see if you feel like you still can't defend with good perimeter defenders. The lower Speed forces bad contests when caught out of position and more block attempts from behind which lead to fouls. The margin for error on defense for Users is mostly tied to the Speed and On-Ball Defense ratings/sliders in my opinion.

If you can, post a screenshot of a post-game box score.

YAK- Playing some scrimmage mode today. Using your SS sliders but moved the “speed” for both USER and CPU to 45 and the “on-ball” defense to 40 for both USER and CPU. I’m really liking the flow of the game and seeing much better on-ball defensive animations.

Re: 2K19: Return of The Sim Roster

Czar posted the 5-out update for the Bucks this morning. Expect some huge playbook updates to the Bucks and play updates for all teams over the next week.

The playbook updates are by far the best 2K delivered playbooks in the history of the series in my opinion. I will end up using at least 50% of each of the updates playbooks in the roster, but will also add some standard actions I’m seeing around the league. I don’t like leaving too much empty space in the playbook, but I’ll also consider leaving a few play types without plays just like I did for the Bucks/Rockets in Midrange.

Since authentic plabooks are the most needed area, where most custom and default rosters are lacking, please, if possible, focus on that one area first, as it would be a major contribution to the OS/2K/XOBX/PS4/PC community. Being more clear, your whole project is a major contribution to the community, even I that am on PS4 and dont have another console can appreciate your huge effort to improve our experience, specially for a one man project as vast as this one.


Now, here is to hope for 2K addressing the lack of variety of plays ran by teams, be it due to series taking over or due to other reasons. Between this and the bugs that affect the sim stats, we would be much closer to our Utopy.
