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

Only played 2 games so small sample size but I am thinking that inside/layup/close shoots need to be raised from 50 I am seeing to many easy shoots being missed for both me and CPU. I think that is a big reason that shooting % is so low.

Is it that or is it the Offensive Awareness and Offensive Consistency for the CPU that would help that?

While I am not really sure like that consistency and awareness do but I would think awareness would just affect like player position on the court and like knowing when to do the right thing or something. I wouldn't think it would affect rather or not a layup is made or not.

Battle for LA!! WOW! My greatest game yet and it comes with Armors Beta sliders! Clippers (me) vs Lakers (cpu) Lonzo went OFF! Zo has 21 pts, 9 rebs, 8 assists. He twisted his ankle early 3rd then comes back mid 4th and puts on a show while limping around after a shot. I utilized Griffin in the post because I knew that’s where the Lakers were small at and boy didn’t Blake go to work! Blake ended with 35 pts and 9 rebounds. If there was one thing I would say about this beta is that steals seems a bit much. Some happened by my mistake but the other times is when a player collides with another player and the ball goes loose, that would happen about 12 times in this game.

The last pic of KCP dunking is when Griffin lost the ball in the final seconds and KCP got away and finished with a statement! Figured he would stay still to run out the 8 seconds....NO I was very wrong!

Any ideas on how to increase CPU turnovers? Game 1 CPU had 9 game 2 they had 7 playing a game right now where CPU has 1 at half time. Any thing below 10 is like crazy low and this is looking to be 3 out of 3 games in a row with that.

try lowering the Pass Accuracy of the cpu and raise the Play Passing lanes in user.

Just had my most frustrating game so far a 111-104 win. Why was it frustrating well CPU had 18 yes 18 steals. Also get this CPU shoot 58 3s yes you heard me right 58 and this was vs Thunder a team that is not a good 3 point shooting team either and its not like they where making them they shoot 24% on 3s. May be time to lower the 3 point slider thing that controls like how much they shoot 3s.

Keep going, you need way more sample size man. After 25-30 games.

I understand that you need a big sample size for things but 58 3 point attempts in a game is like crazy for like any team and even more so for a team that is not a good 3 point shooting team.

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

Just played a game with offensive awareness up 5 for CPU and taking 3's down by 5 for CPU. I also upped 3 point shooting slider to 52 and the like inside/close/layup sliders to 52 and I won the game 104-94 with both teams shooting 44%. I had 8 more 3s made and that was like the difference in the game. Turnovers where 14-12 still most of them where steals. I also upped playing pass lanes and steals for me by like 5 this game and lowered CPU passing lanes and steal by like 5 and upped the slider that helps you to not like lose the ball when you get bumped by like 5. Last I also upped the foul sliders for both blocking, charging and lose balls. The 44% is like the best % me or the CPU has shoot so I think the shooting sliders may be better above 50 for inside/close/layup.

Also with upping CPU awareness by 5 I think may improve things a lot. With doing that I saw a lot more ball movement and a lot more off ball movement to and CPU only shoot 22 3s this game with that and the taking 3s slider down by 5.

Just had one of the best games out of the 28 I've played so far in testing Sword's sliders. Giannis Antetokounmpo absolutely rekt me badly. He single handedly beat me pretty much by himself with his triple-double.

Enjoy the game for how it plays

You will never get perfect stats

Centers with too many rebounds is a code issue

They play too many mins hint why I use AR

AI won't play small lineups or backups C's so rebounding has always gotten out of hand legecy issue

It's 2017 not 1998 so teams take a ton of 3's, just make sure the right guys are taking them. Again it won't be perfect

Use adjustments. Set defense at the start of games and switch at half. Watch the beauty of AI even on Pro. Again won't be perfect, but you don't get the cheese of higher levels

Probably the most important thing to this game-

Pace- If you don't slow the game down with your backups or doing a run. You will get blown out. This is where Sim kicks in. Walk the ball up and adjust doing runs

Again, won't be perfect and games vary so you need a 20-40 full game simple. This ain't Madden

2k has never done a good job with AI on roster or stats. They do however give you more control to fix their legacy issue. Complaining about something that had been there for years should go on the main board

Armors keep doing work. Enjoy the game

You will kill AI and they will return the favor

LeBron LeBron LeBron!! Cavs (me) vs Bulls (cpu). This game was a tough one. Bulls got out to a big lead then I made some adjustments aka took over with lebron and he was in his zone..finished with 41 pts 16 rebounds and 12 assists! These sliders keep getting better! I have one question..I had ALOT of rebounds so I don’t know if that’s an awareness thing or what? For the first time playing with Lebron FEELS LIKE LEBRON!!

PS I’m new to this whole sliders thing so I don’t really know what to look for so if anybody can see anything that’s good/bad from the team comparison let me know! So I can tweak certain sliders on top of armor.

It's always comforting to know that the Celtics still have absolutely no shot at beating the Warriors. Even if Kyrie drops 30+ on them. Sigh. Well the good thing is, the numbers look good and the game was realistic.

They look great!

Just had one of the best games out of the 28 I've played so far in testing Sword's sliders. Giannis Antetokounmpo absolutely rekt me badly. He single handedly beat me pretty much by himself with his triple-double.

I'm playing with Bucs this year. Never been even close to my favorite team..though don't really have one. Just test played a few games with different teams and really liked the Bucs. They have some star 3P shooters, good bigs and Gianni. And you are right..that guys a beast. Can't shoot a lick but is explosive to the hoop.

Awesome games. Love the variety. I am the Hawks(one of the lowest rated teams) , made some changes to start season, brought back Korver and gave FA Bosh a chance. I also trying with 11 min qrts, but all other exact OP settings. 1st game against Dallas, Barnes was on fire, and I ended up losing late in 4th qrt. Score was in low 100's. Next game I played was against Nets, I play, sim, play games. Found another crappy ugly team, and the game looked like. I finished them off in a low scoring affair, 90-75. I have just seen a few things that might need slight adjustment, but will play 10 games at least first, and analyze after that. I love variety in games, and so far so good.
