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

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

So I've been playing through the WCF on 2k and have noticed that some of the premiere shotmakers struggle with a hand even slightly in their face. How should I go about tweaking this? If I lower the release shot defense slider, what impact will that have on my overall experience? I really don't want to lose the great defense I'm seeing. I just want to play a bit more like KD or Curry do in real life without seeing mediocre shotmakers draining contested shots.

You’re having that issue? Or the CPU?

Either way, you can always try increasing the shot success sliders by 1 or 2 until you’re happy with the results. Decreasing the release slider will have little effect on shot success, and will mostly effect the animations given on shot contests (how aggressively they attack the release point of the shot, how accurate they are at getting a hand in the way of the shot, etc.)

Decreasing the (Gather) slider will increase FG% but will also impact rotations, so I wouldn’t recommend that.

I tend to be able to make contested shots pretty regularly with elite shooters, but you can always increase Offensive Consistency so that there are fewer cold streaks and players reflect their shooting ability more consistently.

It may be both, but right now I'm only focused on the user because I have the shot success information. I'll give the CPU a much larger sample size.

Okay, that's precisely what I was afraid of. I'll keep plugging away and see how things shake out. I avoided raising any shooting sliders because I don't want to effect open shots too much, but maybe a slight bump to consistency is what I'll try if the issue persists.

As a Golden State fan, I'm pretty used to needing to tweak sliders, because creating sliders is hard enough. Getting those freaks to play true to life usually throws something else out of whack, so I really appreciate the quick feedback.

I've also upped CPU passing a few points based on my experience in this series. Too many unnecessary errant passes from guys like Paul and Harden. Just a little fyi in case you're still looking to make tweaks.

Yea I wouldn’t worry too much about raising the shooting sliders. Having consistency at 0 definitely helps alleviate OP shooting as good shooters can still go cold!

I’ve been thinking about raising the passing slider as well, since the defense is so much improved now you REALLY need to make your kick-out passes count, but most of the time the pass is slightly off target and results in a bobbled catch and missed shot opportunity.

Seems the few errant passes given with these settings might not be worth the other negatives. 2K just didn’t want to make errant passes a realistic mechanic.

And don’t worry, I’m ALWAYS looking to make tweaks. I don’t remember the last time I played a single game without critiquing every animation, rotation, movement look and feel, shot success, foul frequency, etc. etc. to find things to tweak.

It’s probably been since 2K11 or 2K12 that I’ve actually PLAYED a game instead of CRITIQUED gameplay. [emoji15]

I have CPU inside close mid and 3pt all at 60 and everything else is exactly as eccentric has posted. It's basically perfect for me. Stars will kill you. You can only hope to contain them. I try to focus on shutting down everyone else.

EDIT: Sorry I thought you meant for the CPU.

Also I noticed with the driving shot contact shot frequency at 0 it really turns the game into a grindfest. Lots of hand checking and stuff going on, it reminds me of 90s ball. I think I am going to roll with it at 100 for both sides as it really brings out the more pace and space free flowing game that is the NBA of today and I was getting excellent results with it at 100.

That would be up to the coaching profiles unfortunately :/

I take this back. It must've been with the roster I was using because I just played an NBA Today game, and the teams played totally different.

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

1st time playing, lost to gs 26-19 w/okc. Film on my channel (blastaX1) not to promote or anything. Sliders play through nice w/Gro's roster if that has any effect, thumbs up

Still kinda garbage at 2k, getting used to new gen game play/using plays but I'll prob use these

No need to worry about promoting man, you’re not posting things repeatedly asking people to check out your channel! Plus any vids with my sliders is technically promoting me, so I’ll allow it [emoji6]

Good to know you’re enjoying them and that they play well with a custom roster!

Do you have Body-Up Sensitivity at 0 or 100? That’s quite a low amount of FTs.

Everything else looks good though!

Set it to 100, you should see more fouls!

LOL I totally read that question wrong. I set it to 100 the first time you said to. My games are mixed. I’ll play one in a second and see what I get.

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

Thanks for your brilliant work Eccentric, especially with your camera suggestion. It brings me to the new world indeed (compare with 2k default camera that I used for years). The sliders goes well with real modern NBA sense but FT in my game was high. I just played half game last night and got around 25 FTs for both team. It's just a feedback because I'm still okay with that number except a little concern when seeing all my starting line-up got 2 fouls after reaching first half

Glad to hear it man! Yea that Drive camera really makes a world of difference!

Quick question, what do you have Body-Up Sensitivity set to, 0 or 100? That is a TON of FTs and I’m trying to figure out a way to make FTs more consistent (as others have seen a few games with 10 of fewer FTs for a team).
