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

It was answered right below you (I want bad shooters to be bad shooters). I want player ratings to be the primary driving force of the dice roll...not user input. But if you enjoy the shot stick...by all means. I think it's fine...it's just personal preference.

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

Bingo!!! And this is what I am starting to see as well. If they don't need to jack up threes they won't. But if they get behind and behind big enough it will start to rain. If your packing the paint...they will kick it out.

Now I want to play Golden State and the Spurs and see how they perform. I have not played either team yet in my testing.....that will take place tonight I am sure....I have several matches I need to play to still see if any tweaks are needed.

But so far....I am superbly pleased with V 1.0.

And BTW I have now seen 3 instances of offensive rebounds by the CPU being kicked back out to the perimeter for a reset in the offense. Thing of beauty.

I for one cannot wait to try these tonight. I always enjoy your sliders.

But I'm still waiting for a GOOD roster set to start a franchise.

I agee 100% and have always played with REAL FG%.
It is too eacy to get each players timing down and drain way too many shots with bad shooters. Same thing on FT's. Its way too each to to hit 99% of your fts if you dont use real player ft's.

I have now played 10 games with this set and I have loved every minute of it!
The only changes that i see that need to be made is the FG% for the human player, I have shot right at 50% for each game. The mid range success for the cpu, they miss way too many midrange jumpers. LeBron has went 8-28 vs my and Durant has went 8-26.
And the most obvious one and the one that bugs me the most is the cpu just doesnt shoot 3's vs me. I know people are saying they will and it depends on the team you play and the score and in my games this just isnt happening. I have played the Spurs and they shot 8 vs me the whole game, I have played the Warriors and they only shot 3 vs me. I just played a game vs the Cavs and they only shot 4. In my ten games they have shot 8, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 2, 7, 9, and 9 threes vs me.

Dont get me wrong i am loving this set and loving this game, it may already be my favorite sports game ever. I am a huge NBA fan and the gameplay is amazing, it has blown me away. If we can fix a couple more things I may die of happiness.
Also one last thing has me concerned is i have not blown anyone team out yet and i have not been blown out yet. In my ten game i have had 7 of the games decided by 3 points or less. The most i have lost by is 5 and the most i have won by is 8.

2nd that. played some games in my franchise.
I also think blocking became more easier.

We are getting close...some more tweaks will be coming over the weekend.

Then I will be out of town for a week. Will still have my laptop to check in here and there though.

This is a little of topic but maybe I disable something by mistake. When the game is over and it says here is our player of the game...it usually shows a montage of plays from a player of the game. For some reason it skips it and jumps right to the end menu. did I miss something

I feel bad for those who can't enjoy.

No sliders are perfect, but if you let the game flow it's better than sex.

I was up on the Pistons by 20, whatever adjustments they made got me beat.

Prince was killing them for me in first half because they tried taking Gasol and ZR away, Second half they guarded Prince tight away from ball.

CPU doesn't shoot 3's?? Pistons have taken 20. Butler and Pops have made me pay for leaving them open.

This game is a chess match. These sliders work. Once you start playing like it's a video game and not basketball, you will lose no matter how good on the stick you are.

Just curious... Do you guys use the buttons to pass or the joystick passing?

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

I use buttons

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

Both. I use icon lead passing a lot....but on the break or on the pick and roll I can use the sticks to perfection...plus flashy/bounce pass in conduction with the sticks is off the hook.

It's a bug on the PS4....hopefully it will be patched.

I miss Player of the Game highlights and I miss signature highlights as well for every player....on 12 minutes quarters it's totally bugged on PS4.

Hope and pray for a patch.

I may go ahead and stream a game tonight for your viewing pleasure after my Madden 15 playoff game Dolphins (12-5) at Bengals (16-0)

Heat vs Raptors

I will post here when it goes on the air.

Playing basketball....I will ask to save questions till between quarters etc...it's nothing like the pace of football or baseball...obviously. I do use a mic and I do provide some color and commentary...but trying to play and answer questions is tough with 2K as it does require a lot of focus (at least for me LOL) to play well.

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

Only one game played but I was encouraged by what I saw. Knicks (cpu) at 76ers (user) had both teams shoot sub 50% from the field, a combined 40 plus free throw attempts, realistic offensive rebound numbers, put backs were times down from Pro default.

Only problem is I suck at defense. Hey that's these sliders are for, right? Us "average joes" who need work on the sticks. Having fun though despite my defensive shortcomings. Also need a ton of work on the offensive end as well. 2K controls are deep, as are the strategic options provided for the user.

Will certainly keep a close look on these as I used A&S's Madden 15 set as a base and have had the most fun with a Madden title since these PS2 days.

Keep up the good work, A&S.

Great sliders Armor. As for defense I can't stop the cpu from running around me no matter how hard i try. So I end up controlling the big men and have had a lot more success on defense. Really having a blast with these sliders as these are the only ones that seem tough but fair. Thanks again Armor.
