Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Started a classic team MyLeague with these playing with the 98 Bulls. First game destroyed the 71 Hawks by around 30. Scored over 70 points in first half. Go into my second game against the Spurs thinking these are too easy. Barely scored 40 at the half and trailed the whole game. Cut it to 1 by end of 3rd, but lost by 5. Everything felt realistic and balanced with no issues I could see. Great job on these Armor.

That's a good thing about this game and another reason why guys like A&S say to play 10+ games before adjusting sliders. I haven't had a chance to play with these yet. However, last night I was playing on default Pro with some rebounding tweaks and I started the game hitting 5 3's in the first quarter. I was thinking that these shooting sliders need to be toned down, but then I missed my next 8 3's before finally hitting my 6th 3 of the game in the 4th quarter. I ended up at 7-18 which is a pretty realistic percentage.

Anyway, I'm loading these up tonight, but it will be tomorrow night or Friday before I can actually play. I can't wait. I'll be looking forward to reading the feedback, in the meantime.

Is anybody using timing shooting instead of real fg%? If so are any changes needed to the sliders?

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Is there a slide for user player extension difficulty and did you make any changes?

I just played around when I got the game and simmed a season on default. Was able to re-sign LA to a 1 year deal, which seems quite unlikely for a star player at that age to re-up for 1 season.

I used your sliders for the show and am currently using yours for madden. I've been looking for 2k sliders and finally I have found them. Thanks a lot.

Last game of the night I used a bad team, the Wolves. Against a really good team, the Cavs to see how hard it would be.
I ended up,losing 113-110 in OT. Should have won, Rubio missed two fts at the end of regulation that would have sealed the win. I shot 48% they shot 51.
LeBron was just horrible shooting 8-28 but he did hit 2 big baskets to seal their win.
Still not seeing enough threes from the CPU, they only shot 3 the whole game.

Is there a way to post my in-game stats from my PS4 to this forum? I wanted to show my latest game.

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Are there realistic 3 pt attempts with this set? I am tired of every game the cpu taking 6 or 7 threes.

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Those are really the two most focused area's for me right now as well.

I am also testing fatigue rate as I want you to have to make smart sub decisions.

These sliders are designed for those that have a real coaching/adjustment mentality. The coaching options 2K has given us are second to none. Truly awesome.

If you try to just iso and improvise and not run set plays.....you will be roasted.

If you have a CPU player on a run and you don't adjust his individual defensive settings....you will be roasted.

I played my first game of MyLeague vs the Wizards and Wall and nene were killing me (I am the Heat of course) I switched up Bosh for McRoberts, and had Birdman play some extended minutes in the 4th quarter...and Bosh shut him down. I had Wall doubled at the perimeter and had smother on off ball....I finally slowed him down and was able to eek out a 96-93 win at home after being behind as much as 9 in the 4th quarter.

It's all about maikign adjustments and trying to regain the tempo you want. Also as always basketball is a game of match-ups. Once you recognize the CPU's attempts at exploiting their advantage in any particular match-up the better chance you have at victory.

Now sometimes you can make all the adjustments you want...but if your shooting cold and your simply over matched....well...that's basketball. Sometimes you will get lucky and get hot and the CPU goes cold.

No two games are going to play alike on 2K15....it's a thing of beauty. Couple that with a set of sliders that fit your particular stick skills and you are in sports video game heaven.

Anyway.....I am still working through this set and I am sure within 2-3 weeks we will be pretty much set in the values I want to get the kind of game I like to play. It is a matter of does your skill level and approach match or is similar to mine.

And then tweak from there.


I have very little doubt these will be too easy for a lot of veterans of this series who have far better stick skills and a better working knowledge of basketball than me.

This set is specifically designed for niche player of the 2K series.

So if it is too easy and by that I mean your just a god and blowing out teams on a nightly basis after say 10-12 games.....it's ok...move on to a tougher set.

Pro/Sim/default was too hard for me. That's why I created these off that base.

So question you said that pro/sim/default was to hard for you it is to hard for me has I just cant stay infornt of players to keep them out of the paint. In 5 games on pro/sim/default I am giving up an average of 64 PIP a game. On pro/sim/default what kind of PIP where you seeing? What kind of PIP are you seeing now with these slider setts?

Not being able to stay in front of a player is far more user skill than sliders. I don't want to nerf and neuter the CPU to point of domination by the user.

You just gotta get better at spacing, and stick skill and getting a good feel and also better anticipation of where the player is driving or moving to. Also knowing to call for a double team and when not to. Don't be so quick to use intense defense as well. It takes practice. Defense is the truth on this game and it demands some stick skills. Once you get it down and have a true high rated lockdown defender under your control it is pretty awesome.

I am working on three point attempts by the CPU.....these are a working set. Not final...and getting that feedback is good and helps me.

I played the 76ers last night...started hotter than coal on a steam train and jumped out to a 20 point lead at one point. By the 4th quarter they cut it to 3 points, but they ran out of steam and I put them away by feeding Bosh in the post and drawing fouls in the paint with Wade. I ended up winning by 9.

PIP was very realistic in this one. They only scored on 8 second chance points....and 2 times they grabbed an offensive board....they passed it out and reset!! So keep playing....keep playing and one more time.....keep playing.

Three point shot attempts are something I want to see more of....but I also don't them raining threes and throwing out their play books. So I am going to fool around with turning up the tendency to 75 and see what that does. Also know what teams your playing as some shoot far more than others.

But overall.....the set is giving me what I want in regards to shooting %'s, great balanced games....really good CPU play. It's damn close.

FT percentages are a little low thus far....but I want to play far more games. The Heat were a 76% FT team last year and I want at least 15-20 games to see if this stays true.

I am getting a realistic clip of fouls so far. If you don't attack the basket....don't expect to get to the as much. If you have active hands you will draw some reach in fouls. I have seen over the back as well.

Patch is dropping very shortly too...so we will check out those notes and see if anything is addressed.....but IMO gameplay wise...I hope they leave it alone for the most part...game is golden IMO.

Please look at the OP.....all the MyLeague sliders that are available are posted on page one. Tune those to your desire.

I am testing those as my season progresses. I am not simming seasons and doing that type of testing. I am far more interested in playing the game and testing game play sliders and seeing how my first off-season plays out once I get there to make any slider adjustments to the GM portion of the game.

The slider that would affect that would be Player Non-Financial Ambitions factor. I have it at 55. So it will not be only about the money. But team stability, winning, other factors other than money. So maybe he wanted to stick with your squad for reasons other then money. That puts a human emotion element into the game and contracts.

If you did not like that I would suggest you turn that back to default...or even lower than default. Other than that there is no contract/resign difficulty slider.

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Played my first game in my Hawks myleague:

Hawks 105 at Raptors 112
I shot 46%, 3 point in 30% range
Raptors shot 56%, same % for 3 pointers.
Overall feel of game was great, raptors shot around 13 - 3 pointers. PIP was better, saw more mid range jumpers. The cpu high shooting % concerning, especially 3 pointers. But just 1 game, overall felt great.

Things to look at possibly:
Cpu 3 point success
Fouls- maybe slight increase.

I love these so far but my only complaint is too many blocks. I'm houston and in the 3rd we have 10 to the Pelicans 2.

I'm in your target market and these are right up my alley. Nice job. I use your madden sliders too.Best I've seen since MkHARSH's

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

See I've seen three point shots taken by CPU with the sliders. I think the key for me though is I run the whole league and I have control over every team we play by default messing with coaching sliders before I started. Some games I've seen teams take as many as 16 threes and again, some games exposed in the post. Use a sample size of about 10 to 20 games and average out the three point at times. Not saying some aren't seeing them, but let's not ruin the gameplay flow too much by tinkering too much. I will start tracking three points attempted and reporting back here as well.

Played my first MyGM game last night with the Celtics in a Fantasy Draft. These sliders look pretty good so far Armor, just some tweaking and then post-patch tweaking and should be good.

Always loved your sliders in like every game lol.

I'll post my 2nd game stats tonight when I get home.
