Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

So this happened...



Devastating firepower on that Cavs team, I don't think I've beaten them once since on this slider set...I was playing as NO and they had LeBron James on AD for most of the game, but he still had 30/11 with 2 blocks. CLE pulled their starters at the start of the 3rd and if they hadn't I probably would have lost by 60 lol. With Jrue Holiday out, this team relies WAY too much on AD. Tyreke Evans had some success attacking the paint scoring 13. I personally really struggle with Eric Gordon because his release is so slow, he was 0-5 from 3.

Here I was playing as MIN and A. Wiggins had a heck of a game with 27 points and 9 boards, and most of thee boards came on the offensive end! This team on the fast break with Wiggins/Lavine is straight scary!

Shady I must be doing something wrong because I don't get the same fg%'s that you get. I'm playing with your sliders in MyGM mode with player lock on the PF or C, and I'm playing with the default on 2k rosters.

My fg%'s for the CPU team are in the mid 50's. I'm playing with the Celtics and I played a game against the Sixer's and they had 55 fg% while I had like 41%. The other stats look good but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I promise I'm using your exact sliders but I'm doing player lock and MyGM. Not sure if that matters. Any ideas what could be my problem? I mean you'd figure because I'm not manipulating any stats because I mostly let the players themselves play the game that the fg% would be good but they're too high for the CPU.

You're not having that issue though so I'm so confused.

So how are they beating you? Is it mainly by jumpshots? One thing about this set is, it is highly based on user on ball defense...the developers confirmed that the CPU shoots a lower % when you are personally guarding someone. So since you are player locking guys on the perimeter are just naturally going to be more effective...Same thing on offense this set is based on running clean offensive sets to get shooters open, and getting good opportunities to drive the lane...most of the time the sets that the CPU runs FOR you can be kind of choppy and may not get you the best looks. Before messing with the difficulty, for you I would try making these tweaks

HUM On ball defense +10
All CPU Shooting sliders except -2
All HUM Shooting sliders +2

Again this slider is in no way adapted to player lock or coach mode so there will definitely be inconsistencies, but the following tweaks should help a bit...if they don't help I would drop the difficulty to All-Star and see how that works.

After watching your youtube video I finally know how to play Lockdown d and get rebounds lol but I'm still seeing stupid turnovers by the cpu literally can be a inch apart and throw the ball over his head. Other then that there perfect

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

Hi Shady. I am going to give some backstory to my 2k endeavours. Skip this part if you like.

So I have been playing 2k since 2k10, I have always enjoyed the game although this year I found myself bored of MyCareer and tried out MyLeague. I enjoyed it, although the gameplay was not good/realistic enough for my liking. I knew people made slider sets so I decided to go onto OS to check out what is on offer. I found the Armour and Swords sliders, (this was post patch 4) and I really enjoyed those. Then patch 4 came around and those sliders, as well as the updated version of them were not nearly as good as before. I feel like patch 4 really messed up the game flow. I found your slider set and tried them out, they were better than the others but still not as good as post patch 4. I tend to have fairly realistic stats each game.

So if you skipped that, my problem is that I can't win games. The CPU is too good on Superstar which these are designed for. I am not bad at 2k, I know about real life basketball, I just can't win. I could play on All-Star (which I am testing out now) but it isn't the same as using what is intended. I was just wondering if you had any tips on how to win using these sliders and what your opinion is on patch 4? Thanks if you read this.

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

And by the way, I just made an account on here to post that. I don't know if you can edit posts or not so I just wanted to give some context and say that I am playing the MyLeague as the Celtics and the Heat and I play against teams with similar overalls depending on who I play as that game.

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

Okay this is my third post in a row on this thread.. I don't know if that's against the social etiquette of forums haha! I plugged in another slider set, didn't like it. Put this in again. I think I may have had the CPU on 75 on ball defense and user on 50. No wonder it was impossible to win... Sorry for wasting your time if you read these. Either way it's better now, FG% seems a tad high but I can tweak that. Thanks Shady.

That is 100% intentional...I know it looks ridiculous, but its the only way to balance out the amount of shots taken...just think of them as bad passes in an offensive set or offensive

Before I respond to this I have to say something...R.I.P. to the "Comeback A.I." debate.



Epic Epic Epic game...honestly I don't care about the stats, I just played one of the most amazing games I've ever played...Playing as Cleveland vs Memphis I went into the first quarter down 3, I went into the half down 4, and in the third quarter, mr no headband over here LeBron James just started going OFF! I went into the fourth with LeBron James having 29pts 9 boards and 5 assists...and a 10 point lead...Cue the Magical CPU comeback A.I. right? Eh not really lol...the CPU opened up the 4th quarter on about 6 straight possessions and each and every time they threw it in to Zach Randolph who was bodying Kevin Love All game...With all of the easy points in the paint, Memphis cut the lead down to 1 (91-90) with 2:35 left to go in the game! Spoiler alert, THEY NEVER SCORED AGAIN! I pulled Kevin Love and brought in Tristan Thompson who played tough D and rebounded the ball, and Kyrie Irving hit 2 of the most RIDICULOUS shots I have EVER seen in 2K....with 44 seconds left and one second left on the shot clock this dude hits a fadeaway DEEP 2 behind the backboard falling out of bounds at the buzzer, and THEN this dude shoots a Stepback 3 pointer from about 30 feet with 13 seconds left which was the dagger...man this game was hella intense, and I have some slider updates coming later on which should help post play even more. I recorded the last 7 minutes of the game so I will post that later on...

Anyways, to your point I guess the first thing I would say is make sure you are playing user on-ball defense on EVERY player...that is so important with this set, and you WILL not win if you're not doing that lol another thing is, honestly man sometimes its just a matter of getting your guys hot man, one of the things I wanted to accomplish with this set is making hot and cold streaks play a huge part in the game, and sometimes that red ring under your star player (Maybe a Goran Dragic for your heat team) can save your game.

And finally and this is a message to the every single person in this thread, because I think it is one of the #1 issues...is with this slider set ratings are EVERYTHING...we need to stop comparing real NBA teams records with their videogame counterparts...now what I mean by that is take the Celtics for example...idc what their record is in the real NBA because in NBA 2K they suck! They have terrible defensive big men, and Isaiah Thomas is their only true scoring threat and their bench production is piss poor!...I have played many games with that team, and gotten destroyed plenty of times! (there was a game that I lost by like 16 to the sixers lol). Sometimes teams just don't play in game as well as the real life teams...the Clippers are another team like that that comes to mind!

Anyways, if you do keep trying the sliders take a snapshot of your stats and post them up next time you play and let me know some specific areas of the game you struggled with like Rebounding...defending jumpshots...etc.

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

Just played a game with the Pacers vs The Sixers and dominated, here are the stats!

Spoiler

SLIDER UPDATE 4.1

Slight update to the sliders, changes are as follows:

MyLeague Settings:
Hard Cap limit is going BACK to 100* (was seeing too many stars team up that made absolutely no sense...Dwight Howard and Deandre Jordan in LA / Nik Vucevic, Joakim Noah, and Jalil Okafor in ORL)

Gameplay Sliders
HUM 3pt shooting going up to 47*
Layup Defense Strength (Takeoff) is now 65/100* Helps slightly with shot blocking / Verticality
Ball Handling is now 35/30*
Hands is now set to 0/0*

Tendencies
CPU Close shot tendency is now set to 50* (Should cause CPU big men to execute a more varied assorment of post moves as opposed to just fadeaways and shimmy shots)
Contest shots is now set to 0/0 for both sides* (I have gone back and forth with this, but I do now truly believe that this slider being at 0 causes CPU controlled players to be more active in shot blocking...I had Nerlens Noel chase down a fast break dunk in my last game and I almost dropped my controller)

Okay, I love these sliders to death! The game plays amazing, but I have one MAJOR issue. The User and CPU can not throw an accurate pass to save their life!
I am playing right now and there have been 5 straight TO's by the CPU and I. They are simple, wide-open passes from about 6 feet away.

Here is my issue: https://vimeo.com/123572557

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

Anybody know what setting causes or increases that awful defensive suction animation where the ball handler bends over an quick-dribbles his way into traffic?

I'm sure this has been asked before. Thanks!!

[Sam12345]

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

Thanks for the reply Shady. I am unsure whether you read my next two posts but the sliders seem to somehow magically fixed themselves. I think I may have had the CPU on ball defense on 75 and User on ball defense on 50. That would explain why I could not score and why I couldn't stop them. Great sliders, I seem to get lots of 100+ games so I am testing out 11 minute quarters.

Yup, I love the sliders man..best playing sports simulation in history IMO. On the errant passes though, that is 100% intentional. The game doesn't produce enough turnovers so I use the errant passes to replace off ball fouls, and the natural mistakes that occur throughout the game. You could just pretend it went off of his fingertips, or you could just put the pass accuracy back to default, but that will significantly skew stats.

Yes I'ts been asked before, BY ME. My god that is the most annoying animation in history...not to mention half of these "contact" animations should be called fouls ANYWAY, but if you couldn't tell I have no idea how to stop it, On-Ball defense at 0 doesn't even help it :/ In older 2K's the strength slider would help with this, but I don't think that is the case anymore...(Obviously I'll test just to make sure )

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

Shady,

Been playing with your sliders for a while now... great work. Over time, I've made a few adjustments to some areas that I felt weren't quite right. Here are the tweaks I made (your settings in parentheses):

Defense

Driving Contact Shot Frequency - 50/50 (85/85)
Inside Contact Shot Frequency - 50/50 (100/100)
Layup Defense Strength (Takeoff) - 50/50 (65/100)
Layup Defense Strength (Release) - 50/50 (53/53)
Jump Shot Defense Strength (Gather) - 50/50 (70/70)
Jump Shot Defense (Release) - 50/50 (70/70)

Attributes

Quickness – 50/50 (40/40)
Vertical – 50/50 (5/5)

Tendencies

Take Inside Shots - 50/50 (50/21)
Take Mid-range Shots – 50/50 (50/73)
Take 3PT Shots – 50/50 (50/65)
Post Shots – 50/50 (50/70)
Look For Post Players – 50/50 (50/70)
Play Passing Lanes – 100/100 (40/40)
Contest Shots - 50/50 (0/0)

Fouls

Over the Back Foul - 100/100 (75/75)
Reaching Foul - 100/100 (80/85)
Shooting Foul - 75/75 (70/65)

Basically, my goals were to 1) Improve blocks... I see much more on default settings, so I went back to default on settings that I thought were effecting blocks. 2) Increase turnovers and non-shooting fouls without too many ridiculous-looking wide open passes going awry. 3) Get players to play more to their tendencies.

Here is my latest game (playing in MyGM as the Jazz):





Really am enjoying how the game plays... it has that good ol' 2K11 feel to it. Thanks for all the time you put into these!

Re: Shady Mike's "Real Feel" NBA 2K15 Real FG% Superstar Sliders

So I have found these sliders much improved. However, the shooting percentages seen much to high and the opposing team gets offensive rebounds like crazy. The rebounding is easy to fix however the shooting percentages is not. I find the CPUs defense is quite poor and I can get to the rim fairly easy with this new slider set. Constantly both teams are shooting over 50%. It is crazy how some people have had such realistic statistics yet my statistics are so different.

It is mainly CPU offensive rebounding and overall shooting percentages that seem a bit off. I am also playing on 11 minute quarters otherwise every game is always 100+ from both teams.
