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

I played a couple of games using Armor's sliders and I also noticed that the CPU is shooting a bit too well, especially 3 pointers.

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.

Holy ****, these are the sliders for me!!

Played Nuggets(me) vs Pelicans last night... I lost 105-98... If it wasn't for me shooting 52% from the FT line, I win this game... I missed 13 damn FTs... You really have to know a shooters release point.

Excellent work with these sliders Armor!

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.

A&S whose custom rosters do you suggest to use with your slider set? Any suggestions on whose custom draft class you use?

I am using the latest 2K stock/default rosters.

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

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

These are specifically tested and designed to be used with only Real FG/FT%. I could not vouch for them to be used with shot stick timing. Totally different game with that setting.

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.

I need a far more diverse sample size to say yes or no with any certainty at this stage.

I think some games it's low...but if they are hammering you in the paint why would they chuck up the fools gold. Also depends on the team, match-ups etc.

But again the set is only version 1.0 and is a work in progress. Hang in there.

This is good question, you went custom or 2k rosters?

Nevermind see post.

Armor, how do you load custom draft classes into my league?

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

Armor.. Any reason why using the real Player % and not the user release point? Doesn't that negate the precision of the user skill to release a good shot.
Btw, can't thank you enough for these.
I love your madden sliders as well chief

If you use stick poor shooters become Steve Kerr

3PTA depends on game flow and planning

Playing Pistons game in the 4th and since I have packed in paint to stop bigs

They have taken 18 with 10 mins to go

Armor, how do you load custom draft classes into my league?

When you start the league it will ask if you want to import a custom draft class or use the 2K generated class. it will do this each season of your MyLeague.
