NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Re: NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

If you increased their shot sliders, scores would just get inflated.

One thing I find frustrating, is how often my players will lose possession of the ball sometimes immediately after receiving a pass and colliding with a CPU defender. Might just be an adjustment I need to make. I just assumed that wouldnt be an issue considering ball security was actually raised from the default (when I wasnt experiencing as many turnovers due to that).

This. Very frustratung

Hi,

I've just tried your base set. I like a lot here you can se the result.



What is my point of view i think the problem is the the high FGA and low FG% for CPU. Also the offensive rebound is an issue. When they do a fast break they rather pop up a long two then attack the basket. I thikn probably we need to raise that too. And they shoot a lot 3's in my opinion.

Loving the feedback guys! Seems like we're all seeing the same three issues:

High FGA/Low FG%
High Amount of Rebounds (especially on offense)
Mid-Range Shots in Transition

Rest assured I am putting all my free time into testing and will continue to do so! I haven't had quite as much time as I'd like since I've been sick all week and my meds have made me sleep earlier than usual (2am instead of my usual 4 or 5am).

Luckily I'm pretty much over it AND I have tomorrow off, so updates should be on their way soon.

Will these work cpu vs cpu?

I would imagine so! Just make sure that both the USER and CPU sliders are set to the CPU values in the OP.

I've been doing a LOT of experiments with my testing, which is why I haven't posted any updates yet. Testing out a lot of extremes to get a gauge for how much of an effect certain sliders have on gameplay.

I'm still hoping to get a BIG update posted today, just need a few things to fall together. Gotta take a break first for some lunch.

Glad you guys are enjoying the base set though!

Re: NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Any seeing Loose ball, Illegal picks or Over the back with these sliders? Seems to be connected to rebounding but I can't figure it out. I wonder what triggers these fouls?!

I've been getting illegal picks and over the back fouls but not many loose ball fouls so far.

I've only played 2 games so far but I did get an illegal pick call on the cpu. KAT was called and he hit the floor after being knocked down by the guy he was trying to screen.

I see over the back calls though, at least 2-3 I've seen for both games. Mostly on me, but the cpu does avg 1 game so far.

Awwwwww yea it's FINALLY here! NBA 2K18, and we're getting started EARLY this year.

My trademark BEAUTIFUL formatting of this post will have to wait. For now, I wanted to get this thread started quickly so we can give our gameplay impressions, find the stand-out problems right away, and get to work on the solutions.

So let's hear it: What do you love about the game? What do you hate? What issues are you seeing with the gameplay?

NOTE: Please, let's not have a repeat of last year where people gave my thread a 1-star rating before I even posted my sliders. Low ratings make me a saaaad panda.

UPDATE: My BASE slider set is ready to go! Take note that there has been very little (if ANY) fine-tuning or in depth changes. These are just the base settings that I'm going to build off of, so keep your expectations tempered a little!


Base Slider Set - Latest Update: September 15th

Fixed a typo for the Shooting Foul Frequency. Correct value - 73/68

Spoiler

Gameplay Settings
Difficulty - Superstar
Quarter Length - 12 Minutes
Fatigue - On
Injuries - On
Game Speed - 50
Free Throw Difficulty - 50
Shooting Type - User Timing
FT Shooting Type - Real Player %
Shot Meter - Off
Shot Feedback - User Preference

Coach Settings
PlayVision - All Plays
PlayVision Display - Full
Offense Playcalling - Auto

These settings make your offense wake the hell up! Your AI teammates will no longer stand around doing nothing. Instead, they will be running plays and creating opportunities for your half-court offense.

Controller Settings
Shot Reaction With Intense D - On (User Preference)
Defensive Assist With Intense D - 0

Camera Settings
Drive
Zoom - 1
Height - 5
Key Zoom - Off

This camera view makes the game come ALIVE! It will take a few minutes to get used to, but I think that once you do you won't be able to play the game any other way!

Feel free to use the Broadcast camera view if you'd prefer. The game still looks and plays great from that view (I actually used it in my testing to make sure the player/animation speed was realistic), I just prefer the Drive camera.

PLEASE post any and all CONSTRUCTIVE feedback, positive or negative, so that I know what people like about my slider set and what I need to improve on! Also, please post any and all personal findings and/or tweaks you've tried out! Try to point out what you are seeing too much of (ex. The AI attacks the basket too often), what you're not seeing enough of (ex. The AI does not go to the post often enough), etc. And also, it's just fun to see the results everyone is getting and to have a discussion on what can be improved/what should be left alone.

Here's a simple resource I made to help depict what exactly "realistic stats" should look like:
NBA Stats to Replicate with Sliders

Now that I've posted the base for my slider set, give it a try and rate my thread accordingly! And as always, PLEASE feel free to LIKE this post if this thread has helped you out in anyway (or if you just think I'm a cool guy). It is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy!

I personally haven't uploaded them, I posted the settings and sliders in the OP that you quoted. I won't upload mine to 2K Share until they're more than just a "Base" slider set.

In the meantime, another user here uploaded them. Info is below.

I uploaded your slider set for those that want to easily download it from 2k share for PS4, file name is Eccentric Edition until you upload one then i will remove the one i have uploaded offcourse.
