Warriors lead with 88.8. This isn't bad for 12 mins. We used to see 100-110. Walk ball up a ton times too

I used to dumb mins down, but this is way better than years past

32 FT attempts worries me more, but I learned a long time ago how to slow 2k down

And before people freak out on 20 rebound games

49 20 rebound games last year.

I simmed to Feb. I have seen 11 so far on 2K18

I do sometimes. Actually I have it set to auto pick a play on offense to run for me so most possesions I am following the playcall diagrams and running plays given. But with Harden and CP3 it's hard not to play really fast and drive in being aggressive.

I've always had to bump down to 11min every year with this game. Going to play at least 5 games at 12min first and see what it looks like. But if that first game is any indication, 12min is a tad too high again this year (for me).

I know it was the Warriors, but take away 4min of time and I think their shot totals will just about equal their real life output.

Use the set as a base set.

Pace of play is a huge thing too in stats.

I have some tweaks to the beta I am working on too.

Getting there.

The biggest thing for me is the high miss ratio of under the basket layups.

We are focused there.

Everything else for me is freaking $$$$ so far.

Still lots and lots of test games to play.

Awesome work as usual Sword. Question. Are you seeing some high rebound numbers from good rebounders? I know you don't base things on stats alone, but was just curious.

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

So just got done with my first game a little bit ago a 116-112 lose me GS vs Cavs. A few things/thoughts

1. CPU had 58 PIP me 42. 58 is a lot but its just one game need to play more.
2. Offensive rebounds Cavs 17 me 10 nice to see in the past it was like impossible to get like 10+ for either team no matter what you did with sliders.
3. Still not enough like none shooting fouls and that is part of the reason that at times 12 minute quarters can result in to many shoot attempts.
4. I had 12 turnovers CPU 7 but 11 of mine where stills. CPU may be to good at stealing the ball.
5. Love had 3 fouls early didn't get like pulled and when he got to 5 there was still a lot of time and again they didn't go to the bench.
6. Game looks flat out amazing best yet and by far the best looking sports game before I though 14 looked better then 15 and 16 didn't play 17.
7. I shoot 44% CPU shoot 42%.
8. Both me and CPU shoot bad from the 3 point line. Me 12/42 29% CPU 7/27 26%.
9. People where not joking about star playing like it. James put up a 40 point 8 rebound 9 assist game.
10. Movement already fells a lot better then in the past. In the past there was to much bumping and that looked bad, made it to hard to drive on miss matches and was the kind of bumping that would be called a foul in real life. I am seeing less of that and a few times I did see it fouls where called on it more then in the past.
11. IT got hurt lol. He did come back but I just thought that was kind of funny considering he may be out with a injury to start the season in real life.

All in all a good first game was competitive and had pretty good stats. Good job Armor.

In my game Lebron had a whopping 2 points at half. He ended up with 25.

Last year averages was 85 (27 3PA). High was 88. FT - avg 23. PPG - avg 105 (High -115). Fouls - avg 20.

I've always had to bump down to 11min every year with this game. Going to play at least 5 games at 12min first and see what it looks like. But if that first game is any indication, 12min is a tad too high again this year (for me).

I know it was the Warriors, but take away 4min of time and I think their shot totals will just about equal their real life output.

I have not had a problem in past getting avg shot numbers. I think the cause for little high attempts may be a lot of rebounds/missed putbacks off a one shot.

This is my theory too on the slightly high attempts. Also, the teams are transitioning better and thus taking earlier shots. I actually love the flow though as I see this type transition often IRL.

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

Its not spam bro, rebounds stats are so important in basketbal game. Im very sad about this. Sorry if I disrupted you

Oh I get it. It's a bad legecy issue that is a code problem I bet, I will say it's better than years past, but still bad

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

Defensive matchups are huge guys

2k bumped my game on pause ( One thing I hate about 2k)

Replay the same game and Clippers are attacking whoever Lonzo is guarding, so I have to switch up my D

Love this game

Yeah it is far too early to draw concrete conclusions. Basketball is 82 games. I need a really good sample size......and we will have one because I am not starting my franchise’s till I have a good 40 games under my belt, tune and test MyLeague as well, plus waiting on our awesome roster makers to do their magic with rosters, classic rosters and draft classes.


So we are truly labbing this game this year with the same intensity and focus as I did back on 2K11.

That’s how much this game is going to own my soul for years to come. I am seriously floored with it. IT is finally a next gen basketball game.

2K15 and 16 were solid titles.....17 over patched mess, this season....out of the box this game is a dream. And ut truly feels next gen.

Much like The Show 17 feels totally next gen (took them 3 cycles 14,15,and 16 to get there). It took 14, 15 16 and 17.....and IMO they have arrived at our first true next gen title with 2K18.

No matter how many advances they made on 15 and 16....I still felt 2K11 was the GOAT....not anymore.

I know I will play multiple seasons, rosters and years with 2K18. Much like I will with MLB 17.
