    Re: Armor & Sword's NBA 2K18 "Regular Joe" Simulation Real FG%/FT% Style Sliders

    Ok so I've been following this thread for awhile now as I've used Armors Madden sliders before and loved them. I bought this game when it first came out and after not buying NBA 2k17 I knew I would be out of practice so I started on default PRO so I could get my swagger back.

    After playing about 10 games on default PRO (user shooting, not real player %) I found it too easy so I decided to go up to default ALL STAR. And that's when the cheese began! Players hitting every shot, cpu offensive rebounds when they did ultimately miss a shot, every cpu team running the same multiple screen offense as if they are the warriors, the list goes on.

    So I had been setting up my own game plan with ACE off but read in this thread that ACE runs pretty well on either SUPERSTAR or HALL OF FAME. So I tried that. Same cheese but the ACE did make things run a little better. The losses started to pile up and it's not as if I was playing bad enough to lose. It was that the impossible was happening on the cpu side of things so there was nothing I can do to stop them.

    I don't mind losing if I play like crap but the unfairness of the higher difficulties is extremely frustrating. So after much thought I've decided to give these sliders on SUPERSTAR level a real shot. Real player % full ACE and all. Played my first game as the Lakers against the Clippers and even though I had a blowout win, the game itself played beautifully. It truly felt like a real basketball game. I can't really get to the bottom of why the score was so lopsided but I'm looking forward to playing more games. Screenshots of stats below....

      You guys are free to try.
      I had a great match. I was the heat against the warriors.
      I play 6 minutes a quarter tho.
      It's been a tough match for me until the 3rd and 4th quarter where I was able to recover a deficit of 12 points thanks to the craziness of dragic, waiter and the Whiteside muscles inside.
      It was the 4th quarter, 25 seconds remaining and I was losing 63-60.
      Coach calls time out and I run a scheme for which Dragon dragic comes out from some blocks and hit a crazy 3 pointer.
      Game tie. 63-63.
      Kerr calls time out immediately.
      You know how it ended.
      Multiple blocks for Chef Curry, who hit me with the shot, boi.
      66-63 and left me with 4 seconds remaining.
      Spoe calls for another last attempt to make it right.
      Another scheme, I still looked for Dragic.
      This time, the ball touches the first part of the rim and bounces out.
      I was crying.
      One of the most intense games in 2k.
      Armor Red 1.0 on superstar.
      Thanks a lot everyone.
      Cheers

      Yeah I'm playing with the red set on SS. I love it. Just got worked by 30 by the raptors but then won my next game fairly easily. It's a beautiful playing set.

      There's one major problem with this slider set and this game...I'm a zombie at work every day because I'm staying up late as hell playing my league.

          Basically everyone simply set you difficulty first to Superstar....then taylor the sliders as per the OP or DL the set from 2K share.



          These will work with any difficulty. It is just a matter of the ACE system and how the AI utilizes it for their team as well as yours (I let ACE make all my adjustments on defense).



          This game is so deep.....just so much depth. I am totally wired into 2K18 for years to come.



          Have fun everyone....I am taking the family to Halloween Horror Nights and Volcano Bay this weekend (we are leaving today) so my responses to comments or questions may be sparse.


          Enjoy!

            Oh I didn't know that. This whole time I thought you where just having a audio problem when you where broadcasting lol. That is stupid. So you are playing on superstar now? What are you like noticing compared to playing on pro or all star? In the past I always found any thing above pro to be like impossible has the CPU was just way to good. This year I was finding pro to be to easy. On pro the CPU was just missing to many easy shoots and would have to many games shooting like 35% as a result. So I have went up to all star and have been getting pretty good results but I have not tried superstar figured it would be like the old all star meaning where it starts to get like impossible.

              Hey Armor just wondering you have draft class quality at 50 and I have been hearing that there is a problem in mygm/myleague that to often there are players who are dratted with like a 90-94 rating. Thoughts about this?

                  I am not sure how draft depth looks like. I mean I don't know like how many of the players in the draft are like 70-80 ratings or how many players fall in the 60-70 rang or how the slider impacts that I just know that people have been saying that they are seeing like a 90+ player in the draft ever year. If that is true that is a problem because not many players come into the league being great. MJ, James made a few other players where already great when they first started but even a guy like James I wouldn't say was a 90+ in his first year. Now if you seeing guys in the high 80's low 90s just once in a while I would say not a big deal but if you are seeing guys like that ever draft class then yeah it is a issue.

                    Test it and send back. Main board rumors are sometimes crap and you can change quality setting and redownload class at anytime

                      I am using the FDU draft classes. They have not released the first one yet and most of my scouting is reading all their awesome write ups.
                      It is a fictional draft class that is why I leave the draft class quality at default.

                      Once I download them I will do my scouting as well.

                                I am in love with these sliders! It felt like I was watching a real NBA game between these two teams and how they would play it was amazing. Playing as Portland, we raced out to an early 9 point lead 4 minutes into the game on the heel of our deadly 3 point shooting, and we stayed in control all of Q1. By the time the subs come in, it’s 42-29. And that’s where Portland’s bench issues showed themselves. We could not hit a shot or defend to save our lives and 3 and a half minutes into Q2, they took a 44-42 lead of a McDermott 3. From this point on the teams kept trading blows, but Portland was starting to struggle with the 3 ball. Game goes into half tied 62 all. Q3 is more of the same, with the biggest lead being 5 and that was for one possession. Early in Q4, Kanter fouls out, who was surprisingly giving me some trouble. I figured this was the point where I could go in for the kill and ice the game. Dame had been having his way for the most part pounding it inside, but our looks just weren’t falling. Tried to play hack to win but to no avail. Dame fouled out with a few seconds left but had a great game. That backcourt is deadly! But depth is such an issue. I was having to play Anthony Morrow at backup point! Porzingis has his usual dominant game, and this was a nice glimpse at the potential of Ntilikina as their point of the future. Love these sliders so much it’s amazing! Keep up the awesome work and hope to play many more amazing games with em!
