    That is currently the hardest issue to solve, but I haven’t been able to focus my full attention on finding the best solution yet. My current focus is player movement/animations, which I’m VERY close to settled on. There are still a few instances where things look and feel to fast/floaty, but overall the movement is great.

    After I get back from the Avenger’s opening night (WOOOOOOO!), I’ll get the movement settings squared away and move on to the defense [emoji1305]

    EDIT: Just to clarify, all 3 facets highlighted in my previous post are well under way and close to 75% fine-tuned and completed (each). Just working on that final 25% of getting everything tuned correctly together is the most tedious part.

      Floaty and fast is a good description for player movement I've been seeing too. What do you think are the key sliders to add "weight" to movement?

        The obvious ones (thankfully). Game Speed, Speed, Acceleration, Lateral Quickness, and the Movement sliders.

        Acceleration plays the biggest part in adding “weight” to movement. If players are going from 0 to 60 in half a second, there’s no weight there.

        The trouble comes down to synchronizing all of these sliders together so that playmakers still feel dangerous with the ball, defenders don’t get stuck in the mud, and animations don’t play out too fast or too slow.

          LET'S GO CAVS!

          Damn what a game, and what a series!

          Oladipo out there showing us that maybe in 2K18 it SHOULD be easy to get into the paint :wink:

          Anyway, the update is almost ready! Just need to fine tune the player movement and defensive rotations, and it should be set.

            Hey!

            I'm looking for new sliders to use; so, I can return to MyGM. I like what SimWorld has done; however, I'm more of an roleplaying fan (as it pertains to being a GM) than running a league. Knowing this, I have a few questions for you about your sliders (and I'm sorry if you've answered these before -- I can't find anything):

            1) I see that you have user timing on shooting. Will these sliders still work well with real player %?
            2) Do you have a download for Xbox Live or are you only on PS?

            Thank you in advance!

              1) I only use User Timing so I've never tested Real Player % to know what changes need to be made. Judging by other slider sets that do use Real %, I doubt my shot success settings would translate well.

              2) I'm on PS4 and only have a download there ATM. All of the settings are listed in the OP in an easy-to-read format, just click the spoiler under v4.6

                When you make changes to the sliders, do you have to change difficulty again and update everything from scratch?

                  I typically don’t, no. If I’m feeling paranoid I’ll set the difficulty to HOF and then load the sliders after.

                  But TBH I have serious doubts that difficulty even makes a difference. I still haven’t seen a dev talk about the relationship between difficulty and sliders and if they even have an affect besides giving you preset sliders to build from.

                      It’s coming, just need to fine tune player movement (Game Speed, movement sliders) and defensive rotations.

                      Fouls, on ball defense, and CPU tendencies are all set and will only need slight tweaks if the movement changes throw anything off balance!

                        Can you update the CPU tendencies and the fouls then LOL. I just had a game as the Jazz vs the Blazers. Wasn’t bad at all.

                          Can i just ask what sliders do you think directly affect defensive rotations...this and the too easy blow by's are my only real pet peeves with this game

                            Pretty much all of the Defense slider section, Hustle, Defensive Awareness, and the Play Passing Lanes/Contest Shots tendencies affect defensive rotations. The speed and movement sliders also affect the effectiveness of defensive rotations (how quickly defenders can maneuver/rotate). It’s just a pain to get it all to work together well.

                            However, setting the Drive Contact Shot Frequency to 0 and increasing the Charging Foul slider to 100 has made a HUGE difference in blow-by’s, as has updating the movement sliders to give a greater speed differential between players with/without the ball. Defenders are now much better able to keep up on dribble-drives and get in the way, causing more contested layups and/or blocking the lane and forcing a change of direction or pass out and reset, and if you try too hard to just sprint and bully your way to the paint, you’ll get called for charges at a much higher rate!

                            EDIT: Not slider related, but defensive adjustments make the most difference by far. Forgot to mention that.

                            I’m just trying to get the sliders set to where the CPU defensive rotations are as good as possible, since the User can have essentially complete control over their defensive movement.

                              I’ve been trying to avoid all these partial updates, but with how annoyed I’m getting trying to make it all one big update, I just might have to post them in segments.

                              I’m at work now, but I’ll most likely post a tendency and foul update when I get home!

                              I’m pretty sure my foul sliders look like this:

                              Over the Back - 100
                              Charging - 100
                              Blocking - 75
                              Reaching - 75
                              Shooting - 100/60 (Lower CPU if you get too many trips to the FT line. I have it at 25)
                              Loose Ball - 100

                              Also, make sure to set Drive Contact Shot Frequency to 0! More fouls (shooting/charging/blocking) and better defense and animations on dribble-drives!

                                Gotchu! That’s the biggest thing. I need the CPU to get more fouls. I’m be having them in foul trouble but we be good.
