Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

The last one was against the Spurs :

Team stats:



As you can see, FG % are in lower 40s, they played tough D, i did as well.

1 important fact: I was 1/12 from 3P line in half-time, then the team shot 9/18 to finish the game with 10/30 from 3P line. I was about to get mad when some open 3 pointers didn't get in.

It was a very balanced game, I relaxed too much when I got a 13 point lead starting 4th q. The Spurs rallied and got the lead in 5 minutes. Then with another run, the game was over with the victory.

Boxscore:




Right now, 6 players are averaging over 10 points in my team - Denver- in 9 games so far. I expect it to continue till the end of the season.

Which roster do you use?

NBA 2K roster, updated. No trades allowed in the season settings.

Sorry, if you ask my roster it's :

Lawson-Afflalo-Chandler-Faried and Gallinari at Center.
Robinson-Foye-Arthur-Mozgov coming off the bench, Foye getting 26 minutes per game

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

The sliders as they currently stand seem easy. You're beating the Spurs pretty handily with the Nuggets. And the user always shoots a higher % than the CPU.

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

See the Spurs 3 pt attempts? 11 even though they're shooting 22 3pa this season. Try lowering the Inside, Close and Mid-range tendencies down to 45 or 40 and you'll get higher attempts from them.

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

Wow, these sliders are tough for shooting.

I usually player with Real Player % so going with User Timing is different for me (especially without the Shot Meter)

Just played as the Bulls and shot a horrific 34% against the Knicks (hardly a defensive powerhouse) I went 4/23 from 3PT, even though Dunleavy and Hinrich were open (I guess I suck with User Timing)

Thinking of switching over to Real Player %, I think Poke said that tends to make %'s shoot up but that's exactly what I need.

Keep playing.
I have shot over 50% the last 5 games.

I would totally agree!
I have won 7 games in a row in my season.
I have shot over 50 % each game and the CPU shoots around 40-43%.
Poke what changes should we make?

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

Try leveling your shot success with the CPU.

Offense (User/CPU)

Inside Shot Success – 37/37
Close Shot Success – 37/37
Mid-range Success – 36/36

Still testing a few things but I should have something early in the morning.

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

Wow, in my last three games I have lost Kyrie for 4-6 months, Anderson for 2-4 and Marion for 2-4 to injuries. This is gonna test my team.

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

Poke, i think it's better increase the overall defense of the CPU ( defensive awareness ? on-ball D ? Contest shots ? )
The fg % differential, for me, comes from the easy shots that I can get. I can get open shots 85, 90 % of the time. It's easy to break the AI's defense down.

Since I get open shots most of the time, of course my fg % would be higher than the AI. I think you should find a way to increase the level of AI's defense. On the other side, I think AI's offense is okay. They probably should attempt more 3s but when you stay home to the shooter , it's obvious that they tend not to shoot.

For ex: In my current game against the Rockets I scored 72 pts on them in 2 quarters. But they scored 60 something back. They shot a lot of threes, which the Rockets do in real NBA. So 3pt attempt of AI wasn't a problem against the Rockets.

Against the Spurs, they've gone to the post too much. I played Duncan and Diaw straight up, that's why they didn't attempt as many 3ps as they should. So instead of increasing or decreasing shooting abilities of AI and USER, it's better to up the Defense of the AI a little bit and put more tendency to take 3s, less post shots.

I hope my feedback would be helpful

Man that's huge. You'll play Dellavedova at PG probably ? Varejao and Irvings' injuries should definitely hurt ! You can substitute Marion with Miller or some other guy but especially Irving's loss is huge

Re: Poke's 2K15 12 MIN SUPERSTAR sliders

By the way guys, this is the 9th NBA 2K game that I'm playing and I consider myself as an expert NBA 2K gamer as I believe most of you are as well.

It happened to me all the time, probably to you too as well:

Once we get used to the game, there's no stopping us. Even at HOF, we find a way to win and get that championship no matter what. I mean, let's not overreact when we dominate the AI. That's what we do, that's what will happen in the end.

AI would be a challenge but us, 2K experts would find a way to beat them up.

I think that's what's happening here, Poke's trying to make the sliders perfect but even a perfect sliders won't be enough. Because, it's December and we already played this game a lot, we got used to it. We know how to score and how to stop the opponent.

I've always played with mid-tier teams, got the champs with Dallas in last 3 NBA 2K games. In one of them, they couldn't even make the playoffs in real NBA.. But in game, once you master it, if you got some talent, you can beat the Spurs, the Bulls, Miami back then and get to the finals.

I think we should consider that fact too.
