    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
    PF: K. Faried
    C: A. Jefferson

    bench:
    Ty Lawson
    P. Zipser
    B. Bogdanovic
    ...

    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


    Honestly...hit the gym. Sounds like you are rusty my friend!

    I am practicing in the 2KU a lot and getting all my dribbles, triple threat and post moves and shot down.

    Game has a learning curve but well worth the effort!!

    Simply delicious!!!

        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
        Interesting that you upped inside and layup success. I do think at 50 there are to many miss and by good players on easy shoots where they is not really a defender around but I think you may be upping them to much. I played like 5 games with inside and layup success at 52 and I think that may even be ever to much. At 52 like 70% of the shoots in the paint are being made. I don't know what the average % was for shoots in the paint but 70% fells to high. I also need to find a way to get 3 point shooting to be better. I have played like 10 games of this years game with different sliders including last like 5 games with it at 52 up from default 50 and in those 10 games I have only shoot 40% or better once and that is with playing has GS and most games are like 28-32% on 3's and I am seeing like the same maybe even a little worse for CPU. I am going to also try on ball d down a little bit for USER. I fell like it is a little to easy to stay with a ball handler and not let them get a open jump shoot. Also have increased CPU awareness other 5 points but have not played a game yet with that change. About the injures I am interested to see what you come up with because right now it is almost like I am seeing football amount of injures per game lol.

            I just got absolutely destroyed by the Jazz. I hate when they patch the game, I get comfortable and have to adjust? The main thing is finding weaknesses and match ups to expose CPU. I wish ACE would steal the whole game because CPU goes on runs when I try changing around my game. Hopefully I get another game in tonight to see if I can make my adjustments and win my first game.

                Unless you have a sample of 10 or more games. It doesn't matter and the C's now have Irving and Hayward. Not super weird

                      I had a game where Thunder took 58 3 point shoots including Andre Roberson who shoot 24 3 pointers. Both Thunder and Andre are bad shooters to so having those kind of attempts is crazy. 58 is a lot for even good 3 point shooting teams. I don't know if it is because of the 3 point attempts slider or because of the awareness slider or both but I am finding that ball movement/off ball movement and shot selection is better with awareness being up higher. I have put it up 10 more from what Armor has it.

                          First I don't know what Ace even is. 2nd running teams off 3 pointers is not the issue they where only like 12/58 on 3s in that game. The issue is teams just taking bad shoots. Thunder should never shoot 58 3 pointers in a game. There shoot selection was really bad that game jacking up 3 points with a lot of time on the shoot clock and with a guy right in there face and with a bad shooter. Shoot selection I am finding to be better with having awareness up higher like I said.

                                I believe the record for 3 point attempts in a game is 61 so 58 in one game is crazy. I have not found out yet how to really use coaching adjustments this year skipped last years game but CPU shouldn't be shooting that mean 3's no matter if you are closing out on 3 point shooters any way really and even more so with a bad 3 point shooting team. They where taking the kind of shoots that in real life would most likely get players benched.
