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

    Site won't let me post pictures. I have been blown out my last two games vs. Wizards and New Orleans.

    Not sure what patch has done to game, but only on main board do I see what the patch notes are.

    I am not seeing all the missed layups like others on main board. This is my cult from now on. Main board gets no love from me.

            Hey Armor,

            I plugged your sliders in and played a game.

            (CPU) Pelicans: 116
            (Me) Cavs: 105

            This was my first full game of 2k18 and I am so stoked for this year. I've been playing a lot of 2k ever since 2k14.

            A couple things I would address to the sliders is upping inside shot success for USER...only a couple points increase.

            There will still be plenty of testing to do with these before I stick to a slider set but I just wanted to thank you for this base!

              Am I going to have to turn off this Adaptive Coaching Engine to get the CPU to stop changing my matchups? I like the idea of ACE in theory but it does not seem to understand there is a reason I keep switching Ben Simmons onto John Wall and that I would like for it to stick, haha.

                Beta Version Update 1.2


                What has changed (on the OP +/- in () indicates how much it changed from previous version).

                CPU:

                Inside Shot Success to 53 (from 50)
                Layup Success to 55 (from 50)
                Durability to 75 (from 50)


                Hum:

                Inside Shot Success to 55 (from 50)
                Layup Success to 60 (from 50)
                Durability to 75 (from 50)


                Fouls (same for both Hum and CPU)

                Over The Back to 60 (from 50)
                Loose Ball Frequency to 65 (from 60)


                The game is playing amazingly and we are taking a hard look at player durability and injuries.

                I am testing My League injury severity sliders at 25 for both the CPU/HUM
                Career Ending at 10
                Injury effects at 45

                I couple that with Durability at 75 for both the CPU/HUM.

                So far through simulations.......injuries are far more realistic.....there are still plenty around the league, and some star power also being affected.....but it is not over the top like on default.

                Keep in mind if you are seeing injuries getting (In your opinion as it is your universe) out of hand you can simply edit that player to healthy or a less severe injury.

                You can use a random number generator on occasion when a big name star goes down and you just don’t want to see a season ender for that particular player. Again...your universe. It is totally up to you.

                You can go here for a random number generator:

                https://www.random.org


                Here is an example of how you could employ this.

                Let’s say you are the Cav’s.......and Lebron goes down with a ruptured achilles heal. Out for the season. You can live with it.....or you can say....hey I am going to give him a 2 month injury or a 1 month injury.

                Set the random number generator to 1-100

                1-33 = 2 month injury
                34-100 = 1 month injury

                    Yeah I have some injuries but so do other teams. I am 0-5 and getting beat worse and worse by the game. Weak bench you are in trouble.

                    I just see more contact leading to ball handlers losing the ball more, but 1 game after patch I wouldn't raise alarm bells.

                    Why the up on layups? I really didn't see an issue like others post, but maybe the CPU goes away from feeding the post if we don't up. I have only played 1 team that should have punched it inside a little (New Orleans). Made a trade and they have Embild, Davis, Okafor and Cousins. Lucky he is hurt because the defense inside is so tough even though I can abuse Okafor at will which is real life. Look forward to plugging into today. Only thing about running whole league is I don't get the game time as others.

                            After several games (12) I saw a trend of human layups being missed too often IMO. When easy layups under the basket are being missed at a higher rate.....sorry, but it is called a layup for a reason. The CPU seemed fine but I want to balance their side if we crank our side to 60.

                            Again....we are simply testing everything right now and have a while before Gold Version 1.0 is going to be done.

                            If you are happy with where they were....don't change a thing.

                              I follow your lead. Just saw it other places and wanted to ask

                                First of all .. thanks Armor! Have been playing your sliders for years. Though i passed on 2k17. Now I'm back. Thanks for all the efforts!

                                I started MyLeague with Expansion. No fantasy trade. Created my own team (Georgia Bulldogs). And got a line up that looks like this:

                                PG: Jeremy Lin
                                SG: A. Roberson
                                SF: M. Harkless

                                not too bad. So far I played 5 games in MyLeague. (10 minutes quarter)
                                1 - 4 (got beaten real bad)
                                My 2cent:

                                -- also got troubles with human layups. Too many missed layups.
                                -- Transition seems kinda slow. Got the feeling the CPU overruns me everytime
                                -- So fastbreaks are really rare at the moment
                                -- Sometimes I just miss shots for a long time. The CPU then has a run for around 3-4 minutes (16 - 2) or so. Frustrating
                                -- I noticed a lot of missed passes. Lot of turnovers by my team. Lot of steals by the CPU
