Re: Armor & Sword's NBA 2K16 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT%/Regular Joe Sliders

Love these sliders Armor. I just have one problem. Is anyone having the computer several times throwing full court passes? Sometimes they sail out of bounds. A lot of times they catch it and get an easy score. Always after an inbounds. It is pretty annoying and they pass it even with multiple people hanging back. Just wondering if there is something that I can do or if this is a 2k problem? Thanks for any help

It's nice that these sliders allow for crazy run-and-gun games where hardly any defense is being played, just like you see in the NBA some times. So many sliders never give you games like that.

I've tried these sliders out so far, and I'm finding that my players are still butterfingers and the ball is slipping out of everyone's hands all the time.

Might be that I suck and I'm the Hornets. I dunno. Just not sure how much of it is the sliders and how much of it is me. To be honest, I have yet to win a 5v5 game in 2k15. Bleh

LOL, i'm in the same boat man. With being winless not so much the butter fingers thing. Maybe it is the Hornets. We're pretty sorry in this game. But my skills are pitiful as well. 2K is a game that you need to play year round, and i don't so my skills are rotten when i first get it each year. Thank god for these sliders. I'm still getting my poo pushed in with these but at least it looks and feels like a real game of basketball.

Any pointers on trying to defend the cherry picking. I try to not crash the boards but sometimes I can't see where the player is. Is it easier to defend on the 2k cam? I play on broadcast

This because you see down court. Broadcast not as well. I ply on Broadcast though.

Bolded the answer for you.

I am really waiting for the big patch before I play my Heat season. I have a feeling I will have to make some final tweaks and then I will release my personal MyLeague settings as well.

Hang in there and be patient. I feel we are a great patch away from basketball heaven.

I made some big strides playing better defense. But I still feel strongly transition defense needs a patch as well as insane rocket passes into the paint for easy baskets.

Fatigue and sweat needs a patch and resign's and free agency contracts I am reading need a tune up as well.

Trust me I am not going anywhere. Even with those few small problems I am loving this game. The amount of tools at your disposal on offense is insane. Love the pick and roll and pop game. I will definitely be playing this all year. I haven't touched Madden since it came out lol. Love how your game has balanced a lot of the shot percentages. I will be looking for your update when the patch drops.

I feel the game itself it the reason pace is faster this year than on 2K15. I feel like this year you have to get you play or set called the moment you inbound the ball.

You basically have to have a plan for every possession. I am finding myself using free flow offense more this year than last year for that reason.

You really need to use your POE's wisely and never ever set "Neutral Defense" as your focus. Either use "Protect The Paint" Or "Limit Perimeter Shots".

Also you must set all your individual defensive settings for each player if you really want to have consistent success.

There is a thread in the main forum but here is a great breakdown of how to set those up. Many thanks to OS member "DC" for providing this break down. I am going to put this on the OP as well.



So you wouldn't want to pre-rotate too much off of a shooter. I can go through and break down my logic when it comes to setting these sliders pre-game

On Ball Pressure
Gap: Non threat, Non Shooter (Tony Allen)
Moderate: Decent shooter, or vs someone that can blow by you (Andre Iguadola)
Tight: Good shooter that you can also stay in front of. (Klay Thompson)
Smother: Good shooter but I only use this vs. someone that can't really handle the ball. If you smother Kyrie, you will get burned. (Kyle Korver)

Off Ball Pressure : Be careful here because you also have to think about preventing offensive rebounding.
Gap: Non threat, Non Shooter (Tony Allen)
Moderate: Decent shooter (Eric Bledsoe); Non-threats but are good rebounders.
Tight: vs. Good shooters (Kyle Korver); You can also use this vs. great rebounders but you probably would want to help off of him so use at your discretion.
Smother: Use this when you are playing a great offensive threat. But be careful because you might give up backdoor cuts.

Force Direction
I force everything to the baseline. Point blank, I don't want to give up any middle penetration.

On-Ball Screen and Off-Ball Screen You really only need to use this vs. people that will be the ball-handler in a PnR situation. So don't worry about setting this vs. Dwight
Go Over: Shooter
Go Under: Non-Shooter
Switch: I use vs vs. non-offensive threats. I also use this for people that won't really blow by my non-center bigs. You have to think about your 1-4 and their ability to stay in front of the player you are setting it up for.
Ice: Use this when you want the on-ball DEFENDER to force the ball-handler away from the screen. I would only use this when the on-ball defender is a strong defender. I wish this could be situational because I would only want to use this on the sideline pNr situations.

Hedge
No-Hedge: Use this vs. an absolute non-threat perimeter player (Tony Allen)
Soft Hedge: I would use this against someone that isn't going to KILL you and won't probably look to score most of the time once they turn the corner. (PJ Tucker)
Hard Hedge: If you know this dude is going to turn that corner and look to score, use the hard hedge. (Bledsoe)
Double: Now, if this player can turn the corner and attack AND he has the ability to look for others out of the PnR situation, I would double him. (LeBron)


Hedge (Center)
See the hedge section above, but you need to know who your center is. Depends on his footspeed (quickness) and on-ball defense IQ
Soft: Non-athlete vs a scorer
Hard: Athletic vs a scorer
No-Hedge: Non-athlete vs. a non offensive threat
Double: Use at your judgement, but if your Center is too slow, he might struggle even getting into doubling position in time. You might get split honestly.

Post
Front: If I front a player, I am doubling from the weakside. If I am getting killed by a player in the post, I will front him. I don't usually START off fronting anyone
Behind: If I am playing a non-post threat, I always play behind because I am not worried about them honestly.
3/4 Top: If I am playing against a post threat, I will start off with this. Again, this ties into my theory of forcing everything baseline. This shades your offensive player to the baseline.
3/4 Bottom: If you want to shade the player to the middle of the court (where your help can be sent) you can use this option. I sometimes trick people I play by putting this setting on a BAD post player so they can think they see an advantage. Again, use with discretion.

Double Teams:
Self Explanatory

I have updated the OP.

Scroll to the bottom of the post and you find explanations of all your individual defensive settings. Set these pre-game and off you go.

The game takes time and effort in regards to strategy. You want sim.....this is sim.
